How I can help
Living with pain and physical symptoms
Support with the strain of living with pain, alongside your medical care, never instead of it.
Can holistic therapy help with pain & the body?
Path of Calm offers complementary therapy for people living with pain or long-term physical symptoms, in Morecambe and online. Reiki and Access Bars are used for relaxation and rest, and RTT can help with the stress and the beliefs that build up around a body that has stopped co-operating. It does not treat or cure medical conditions.
Living with pain, or with a symptom that has not gone away, takes a toll that goes well beyond the pain itself. There is the tiredness, the appointments, the not being believed, the way plans stop being made. That part is what I can help with.
What I do not claim
I want to be straightforward here, because this is an area where people are often promised a great deal.
I am a holistic therapist, not a medical practitioner. Nothing I offer treats, cures or heals a diagnosed condition, and I will not tell you otherwise. Your GP, consultant, physiotherapist or pain clinic is where the medical side belongs, and please keep taking anything you have been prescribed.
If you have a new or changing symptom, see your doctor about it rather than booking with me.
What I can offer
Reiki and Access Bars are gentle, hands-on and ask nothing of you. You lie down, fully clothed, and rest. For people who have been braced against their own body for a long time, an hour of genuine relaxation is not a small thing, and rest, tension and sleep are the things clients most often say improve.
Rapid Transformational Therapy works on the emotional weight rather than the symptom: the fear that builds up, the frustration, and the beliefs a long illness tends to install about what you are now capable of or worth.
Tapping gives you something practical for the moments when it spikes.
The stress side of symptoms
Our bodies and our stress are not separate systems, and a body that has been under strain for a long time often carries it physically. Sometimes symptoms trace back to a period of loss or pressure and a decision to simply carry on.
Working with that stress is a reasonable thing to do, and it can make a difference to how life feels. It is not the same as treating a condition, and I will keep those two things clearly apart.
Talk to me first
This area more than any other needs a conversation before a booking. The 20-minute discovery call is free, and if I think what you need is medical rather than complementary, I will tell you that rather than book you in.

Client stories
In their words
“After my 1st Access Bars session, I had real clarity. I felt like I had more lightness in my life. Renate is such a warm, compassionate, non-judgemental person who helped me to pick up on issues that no longer served me, so I could release them. I would highly recommend a treatment with Renate.”
Access Bars clientAccess Bars “I just wanted to say thank you for your support. I'm not sure that I would have had the confidence to make such a leap without the therapy you provide.”
Access Bars clientAccess Bars “I contacted Renate as I had lost my motivation to exercise, I wanted to figure out why and fix the issue. Renate was immediately welcoming and compassionate and led me through the session with ease and understanding. I finished the session feeling amazing and having the answers to my question. I was able to pick up the weight training I had once loved and find the lost motivation to exercise, thanks to Renate and her positive transformational skills. I listen to her recording each evening and I am feeling more confident and happy in my day to day life generally. I cannot thank her enough for helping me.”

Questions
Questions people ask
Can therapy treat or cure my condition?
No. These are complementary therapies for relaxation and emotional support, not medical treatment, and Renate makes no claim to treat, cure or heal any diagnosed condition. Please keep seeing your doctor and taking anything you have been prescribed. What therapy can help with is the strain of living alongside it.
What can it realistically help with, then?
The part around the pain. Clients often describe feeling more rested, less tense and less overwhelmed after Reiki or Access Bars, and many find the stress and fear that build up around a long-term symptom easier to carry. Experiences vary and no outcome can be promised.
Is it safe alongside medication and physiotherapy?
Yes. Reiki, Access Bars and tapping are gentle, non-invasive and work comfortably alongside medication, physiotherapy, pain clinics and any other treatment. Tell Renate what you have going on when you book, and do tell your medical team about anything you are adding.
Let's talk. What can I help you with?
The first call lasts twenty minutes and it is free. You can say as much or as little as you like about what is going on, and ask me anything you want to.
