Empowering Women in Holistic Business

The Next Chapter

Deepening & Developing Your Holistic Business

With myself and Caroline (Rebalance with Reiki)

For women ready to explore how they want to work, grow and evolve in the next chapter of their business.

The Next Chapter is a half day experience for women running their own small businesses and/or working within holistic wellbeing who are ready to take stock of where they are now and explore where they want to go next.

You may have trained, built your skills and gained years of experience. You may already be doing work you love. You might be right at the start. As we grow and evolve, so does the way we want to work.

Sometimes the next step isn’t simply about doing more. It’s about recognising the wisdom, experience and intuition you already have and allowing that to guide the way you develop your work and business from here. However that looks for you.

This workshop gives you the space to look at your business differently. To step out of the day-to-day for a few hours, reconnect with the woman behind the work and consider what you genuinely want to create next.

Through guided reflection, meditation, conversation, practical exercises and focused workshops throughout the morning, we will explore where you are now, what still feels aligned, what you may be ready to release and how you want your work, practice and business to deepen, develop and evolve in this next chapter.

It’s about recognising everything you already bring: your training, experience, intuition, ideas and wisdom and becoming clearer and more intentional about how you want to use it.

You will leave with your own Next Chapter Map and a clearer vision for the next 6–12 months across your business, work, life, energy and creativity.

A space to reflect. To reconnect. To deepen. To develop.
To meet other like-minded women building businesses around work they genuinely love.

Reiki Masters Meet Ups

A chance to revisit and refresh the Reiki Master teachings.

7pm to 9pm £25

I have known Mel since 2017 when I learned Reiki 1 with her. Since then Mel has accompanied me to the Reiki Master/Teacher level, imparted the Munay-Ki rites, and mostly recently taught me on her Crystal Healing practitioner course. Mel is such a beautiful person. Genuine, kind and nurturing. She creates a wonderfully welcoming, safe and inclusive space for all her trainees. She “gets” people and is without a doubt one of those people who makes this world a better place! I can recommend Mel’s courses, and I can recommend Mel as a teacher. Thank you! x

I met Mel just over a year ago after someone recommended her for a Reiki treatment (my first) , and it was truly wonderful. Since then I have completed many of her courses and day retreats and workshops. All have been incredibly uplifting, rejuvenating and filled throughout with her beautiful loving open energy and expansive heart. Connecting with lovely people throughout at every event in beautiful surroundings. I would highly recommend Melanie for anything and everything! From reiki, to meditation, to spiritual development, to crystal knowledge, to being the best role model on how to love all beings from a higher deeper purer level. She has a huge heart and bags of skills, talent and experience to boot. Wishing every reader the pleasure of experiencing what Melanie has to offer.💗

Mel is total treasure, I did my Reiki I & II with her and will complete her masters course this year. I've done a variety of great workshops with her including the Munay Ki. She is very caring, has high standards of integrity and delivers courses in her own quirky style! She's a very loving soul and this comes across in everything she does.

I honestly cant thank you enough! This is 100% my calling.....i couldn't ask for a more amazing mentor to help me share my reiki experience with others. It was just as special for me and life changing as i can get. Thank you seems so insignificant compared to what you have opened my eyes too. The group was truly magical and i couldnt of asked for better reiki family x

What can I say? I have completed my first & second degree Reiki with Melanie and have recommended her to many of my likeminded friends for workshops etc. She really is my guru and I look up to her. Her kind nature and wealth of knowledge around all things universal/spiritual / gods and goddesses (the list is endless!) is incredible.

I attend meditations under Melanie’s teachings and literally cannot wait to attend each class. I love the influence that Melanie has had on me and look forward to the rest of my own journey unfolding with her as my teacher throughout the exciting upcoming courses and workshops that I will be taking with her. Thank you Melanie.

I’m super excited for 2020 with this incredible energy. Melanie I know I’ve said this lots already but I really wouldn’t have chosen anyone else to receive these sacred teachings from, you’re an amazing mentor, your knowledge is limitless, your kindness is infectious and energy is so graciously powerful.

It honestly was so amazing. Tears, support and just so much love. Of all the three levels, the memories of this one will stay the longest. There was something special about this group. Thank you again Melanie for giving us your wisdom, insight and love and allowing us to hold this sacred space in your home. You create such a warm welcoming environment full of love, positive vibes and amazing snacks . Thank you from the bottom of my root chakra to the top of my crown.

I recently had my Reiki 1 course with Melanie and I cannot recommend her and the course enough.She is so genuinely pleased to be a part of your Reiki journey and you really feel it.

The setting was idyllic and we were lucky enough to have the most amazing weather. Mel is always on hand for questions / queries and left the course feeling confident in my abilities. I will never forget this experience and have booked on for my level 2 in November and truly cannot wait! Thank you Mel

Thank you so much for a wonderful 2 days of reiki 2.

Me and mum loved it! The group was lovely and you really are a fantastic reiki teacher. You make everyone feel so comfortable and it was just magical!

I have completed both my Reiki 1 and 2 with Melanie and I only have praise for her. She has a wonderfully calm, caring and beautiful nature and her teaching style is so lovely. She teaches you in an empowering, passionate but not over-zealous way and she leaves you with confidence, clarity and an overwhelming feeling of love at the end of the course. I would highly recommend Melanie for any of her courses and I’m looking forward to doing my Reiki Masters with her.

Where do I start, my Reiki journey so far......... It was fate that brought Mel into my life with her response to my email and I will always thank her for that.

When I booked my Reiki Level 1, I'm not going to lie I was slightly nervous but as soon as I walked through Mel's front door it was as if time stood still, I felt so calm yet so excited to be around like minded people with such amazing energies, it was just beautiful, Mel is such an amazing teacher her energy is just unbelievable, she makes you feel so alive!

Before I had completed my Level 1... I was sitting there thinking, I cant wait to complete my Level 2, Mel is so supportive with all her emails and her updates. Reiki Level 2 was just as amazing, I know that Mel and all the lovely people that I have met through Reiki will be part of my life for a very long time, Mel really is one of life's little gems she is such special person.

I had a reiki refresher with Melanie today and I really enjoyed it. It was great to refresh the information on reiki 2 and re activate my knowledge and excitement for practicing reiki too. It is the most relaxed and in tune and connected with myself that I have been in a while and it was so nice to do this.

Melanie is a lovely person with a really kind and caring energy, she makes you feel instantly at ease and is very passionate about reiki and her practices and teachings. I would recommend Melanie to anyone for refresher courses or reiki treatments and attunements, she is amazing at what she does. Thank you so much.

I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart and beyond for the beautiful Reiki Drum Practitioners course. I’d read a couple of books on Reiki and Shamanism the past few years. I’ve always been drawn to it, and the course just sung such a sweet little song to me - it genuinely feels like one of the greatest things I’ve ever done. It’s given me the best buzz and seemed to spark something amazing within. Thank you so, so much. The people I’ve treated so far and practiced on are amazed and love it too! Yay! I’m holding my first journey on Thursday. Eeeek.

What a weekend.!!!!! Words can't describe how blessed and humbled I feel right now to of been part of such an amazing journey into the beautiful world of Reiki. I've laughed, cried, and shared story's and experiences with wonderful people. I've made new friends with other spiritually minded ladies all of whom have the most amazing souls.

I feel privileged to of shared this amazing journey with you all. I feel connected and replenished and can't wait to help others who need help from the beautiful reiki healing. I owe the biggest thankyou to the wonderful Melanie Pitman. Melanie you have the most beautiful soul. I'm so blessed to of had the chance to share my journey with you and I can't wait to do it all again in Jan. Bring on the level 2.

I had met many Reiki teachers over the years but there just was that something that was not the “right fit” for me. When I met Melanie, I knew that she would be the perfect person to teach me Reiki. I had no intention about going further than my Reiki I. Mel made the course not only special and informative but also fun.

I was nervous about learning with other people and Melanie taught me on a 1 to 1 basis. She continued after the course to check to see how I was getting on and also to invite me to the Reiki shares she held. In the end I continued my Reiki journey and became a Reiki Master.

Melanie is a wonderful teacher, she makes all of her courses not only informative but fun. You always come away feeling positive and excited with the new information or skills you have learned. I am truly pleased that Melanie was recommended to me and I recommend her to everyone.

After deciding that this year I would start to take better care of me, a friend highly recommended going on a Reiki course offered by Melanie. I have to say that Reiki has really had a positive impact on my life since completing the training for both Reiki 1 and Reiki 2 with Melanie. But for me, I think the best thing from the training, was having Melanie teach me.

Melanie is a truly pure, and lovely soul, her energy during both courses was wonderful and very inspiring, I felt able to truly be myself and talk, or ask, about anything that I wanted to, without ever worrying about sounding silly or crazy. Her knowledge and passion really shines through during the 4 days of training.

If you are thinking of doing Reiki for your own well-being, or actually offering it as a therapy, I can highly recommend doing this training with Melanie, it is a really wonderful and positive experience which, for me, has led to some very wonderful personal changes in my life and work.

So glad to have found you, it is a privilege to have you train us, I had been thinking about Reiki for a while but wasn’t actively looking for someone, I just knew I would do it when it felt right and that is with you, so thank you for expediting my reiki journey, and you do have the most beautiful soul, you are an inspiration, and lovely to be around, everything about the course is perfection, it was a lovely group of people, just perfect.
