Many people assume that deep healing can only happen behind closed doors in a private, one-to-one setting. And while individual support absolutely has its place, this belief overlooks one of the most powerful, and surprisingly accessible forms of healing available today, group healing.


Six people sit in a circle on chairs, engaged in discussion on a light-colored floor. The mood is collaborative and open.

For women navigating PMS, anxiety, emotional exhaustion or chronic stress, group healing sessions offer something uniquely supportive. It’s not just the energetic work itself. It’s the sense of safety, resonance and shared regulation that the nervous system responds to on a profound level.


What is group healing, really?


Group healing is often misunderstood as something passive or “less potent” than individual work. When held with intention, it becomes a focused, attuned space where each person receives support while also benefiting from the collective energy of the group.


From a nervous system perspective, this makes perfect sense. Humans are wired for connection. When we’re in a safe, attuned environment with others, the body can shift out of isolation and survival mode far more easily than when we’re trying to regulate alone.


Group healing isn’t about comparison, performance or sharing your story. It’s about co-regulation, the nervous system’s natural ability to settle in the presence of others who feel safe.


The science of co-regulation


The nervous system doesn’t heal in isolation. Research in polyvagal theory and interpersonal neurobiology continues to show that regulation is learned and restored, through safe connection. In a group healing setting:

  • The nervous system responds to shared calm and safety

  • Emotional processing feels less threatening

  • Individuals feel witnessed without needing to explain

  • Stress responses soften through collective regulation

This is why so many women leave group sessions feeling lighter, calmer and more grounded, even if they never said a word.


Why group healing is especially supportive for women


Women experiencing PMS, anxiety or burnout often feel alone in their symptoms, even when surrounded by people. Group healing gently dissolves that sense of isolation.


Common experiences supported in group settings include:


  • Emotional overwhelm and irritability

  • Hormonal sensitivity and PMS-related mood shifts

  • Nervous system fatigue and chronic stress

  • Feeling disconnected from the body or emotions

When women heal together, the nervous system receives a powerful message, you don’t have to hold this alone. Safety doesn’t come from fixing the problem, it comes from being supported through it.


Energy healing in a group setting


Energetic and nervous-system-based healing doesn’t lose potency in a group. In fact, many practitioners observe the opposite, group fields often amplify intention, coherence and integration.


Distance healing and Reiki work beautifully in this format. Each participant’s system receives exactly what it is ready for, without force, pressure or overwhelm. The body takes what it needs, when it needs it.


This makes group healing especially supportive for women who feel emotionally or physically depleted.


Why group healing can feel safer than one-to-one


For some women, one-to-one healing can feel intense, exposing or emotionally demanding. Group healing offers a gentler, more spacious entry point.


Many women appreciate:

  • Less pressure to speak or “perform”

  • A sense of anonymity within shared experience

  • Emotional safety through collective presence

  • Gentle, ongoing regulation rather than intense emotional release

This makes group healing an ideal option for those who are new to healing work, or already overwhelmed and needing a softer approach.


How my group healing sessions work


My group healing sessions are designed to support nervous system regulation, emotional balance and energetic restoration. Each session offers a structured yet gentle space where participants receive Reiki and distance healing while being held within a supportive group field.


These sessions are particularly helpful for women experiencing PMS, anxiety, emotional fatigue and chronic stress. They provide ongoing support without the commitment of a longer programme, while still honouring each woman’s individual energy and needs.


Group healing allows me to support multiple women at once — not by diluting the work, but by strengthening the field we create together.


Healing doesn’t always require intensity, privacy or emotional excavation. Sometimes the most profound shifts happen when the body feels supported, connected and safe — together.


For many women, group healing isn’t a “lesser” option. It’s a doorway back to balance, belonging and ease. You can enrol onto our next session right here.


If you’ve been carrying these struggles quietly, know that you don’t have to keep doing it alone.
