Hirai Healing

🍁I’ve been meaning to write to you since July, but summertime for me is a time when I relax my personal deadlines and make playtime my priority. And did I ever play! I’ve spent the long sunny days horseback riding, performing, laughing, camping, singing, and urban hiking. I’m sure that you’ve also made some beautiful summer memories. And maybe you’ve also had some difficult times, and spent energy self-regulating. I have been right there with you.

What I find I’m craving now is a return to routine. Evenings spent in bed with a good book, regular work outs uninterrupted by summer holidays, and the soft glow of the candles sweetly lighting the earlier, cooler nights. What makes you feel grounded, centered, whole, and alive in autumn? For me, it’s meditation, exercise, 8 hours of sleep, and receiving bodywork of all kinds.

I’ve got a little treat for you, to boost your self-care regimen during your transition to autumn. For an appointment that takes place between now and October 10th, you receive 15 Euros off the regular or low-income price: use code

Welcome to summer and the generous daylight hours. This coming Sunday is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. I took this photo a few days ago near my apartment, after 9 p.m., marveling at how different life is from one season to the next. In summer I sleep less and sometimes find myself exhausted from trying to be on-the-go from morning to night. It’s in this time of year that my deepest need is for a cool, quiet moment to slow down, connect with the ground, and replenish my energy sources for future adventures.

I had this grounding time last week during a 5 day continuing education course in OsteoThai for the joints, during which I learned a variety of ways to soften, energize, and mobilize ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows and wrists on the Thai mat. I am in love with this gentle, yet profound way of working with the Chinese elements of Water, Fire, Earth and Air. If you’d like to experience what I’ve learned, I suggest a Shiatsu-Thai Fusion massage for your next session. Please bring or wear stretchy pants and a tee shirt. https://www.hiraihealing.com/book-now

I hope you’re planning some time this summer to truly enjoy the light and the energetic highs.

I don’t create hastily. I’m the proverbial tortoise, slow and steady, winning no races. But I do stick with my projects, and see them through. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Life is a journey, not a destination.”

What began as a coaching suggestion in winter one year ago led to a rebirth of my website. The suggestion was: let us see your face.

As I hadn’t ever had a professional photoshoot for Hirai Healing, it seemed high time. In spring 2025 I engaged a wonderful photographer to take photos of me at Haven in the sunshine. I took more than a month to choose a handful of my favorites from over 800 to be edited for use. I received the photos, glossy and shining. And then I paused, to allow summer to be enjoyed to its fullest.

In autumn, when I showed the photos to my website designer, we both agreed that the energy of the new photographs really called for a redesign of the entire look and feel of the site. We worked together on the redesign through the winter and into spring.

I am so excited to share that the website is finally online! It has a fresh, bright design and a new layout, as well as improved functionality on your phone. One new feature I really love: there is now a place for you to write a testimonial about my work.

I welcome feedback from you about anything at all on the new website, from functionality, to the English/German translations, to how you feel when you interact with it. Feel free to write to me, I would love to hear from you!
