Plinkity-plink. I never thought I'd be big on new age music, but I am now. The quarter of an hour I spend on Caitlin's couch each session, bristling with needles and washed over by these sounds represent 15 of the best minutes of my week.
I went to Caitlin with a bundle of symptoms as I weaned myself off HRT following a hysterectomy some years ago. These included migraines, hot flushes, night sweats, lack of sleep and a resurgence of a chronic condition I’ve been battling with for 20 years. Those symptoms I could just about handle. More difficult were the mood swings – I was all over the place, with jittery-skittery highs and crabby, no-energy lows. I’m a coach. I can’t do my job like that. I needed help.
Caitlin is wonderfully reassuring. I knew I was in good hands. She listened with interest, she asked relevant questions, she understood and she told me what she was going to do. She also warned me that I may not feel the benefit straight away, so I hadn’t expected to feel so much better at the end of the first session. I felt tired, but my sore throat had vanished, my eyes had stopped aching and I slept well that night. I left each subsequent session feeling restored to myself – calm and well. I haven’t had a migraine since then, I continue to sleep better and the flushes and sweats are much less frequent. I’m impressed.
Plinkity-plink. Roll on the next session!
