Read on to learn more about what they do and how you can help. We are planning to support in a number of different ways and we’ll be sharing details throughout the coming months.

About the Stan Bowley Trust

The Stan Bowley Trust was set up to raise awareness and funds for CyberKnife—a pioneering robotic radiotherapy treatment for cancer patients.

A former Staffordshire police officer, Alan ‘Stan’ Bowley was approaching his five-year all-clear milestone after battling cancer when he received the devasting news that he had a secondary tumour. He and his wife, Janet, conducted extensive research to find a way forward and discovered that the ground-breaking treatment, CyberKnife, was available in various locations worldwide, predominantly in the United States. With much support from family and friends they raised £40,000 to fund Stan’s treatment in the States which granted Stan precious time with his family. Tragically, Stan was later diagnosed with a third tumour in his liver, from which he eventually passed away. However, his family has always emphasised that this was unrelated to the CyberKnife treatment, which had been hugely successful in eliminating the nerve sheath tumour. It gave Stan invaluable extra time and the opportunity to create cherished memories with his family.

Before his passing, Alan “Stan” Bowley, together with his family and friends, established the Stan Bowley Trust to raise awareness and funds for CyberKnife technology. This groundbreaking radiotherapy treatment delivers high doses of radiation with sub-millimetre precision, enabling the targeting of previously untreatable tumours. The trust has played a crucial role in expanding access to CyberKnife treatment in the UK, particularly at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, where over 3,000 patients have received life-changing care.

What does the Trust do?

Today, the trust continues to organise fundraising initiatives and events, striving to support CyberKnife technology while providing vital information to patients and their families. Its mission remains steadfast: to raise awareness of this innovative treatment and ensure more individuals have access to life-changing cancer care.

There’s no denying that there’s a lot going on in the world at moment and even the most resilient of us is likely to feel a little bit overwhelmed. Now, more than ever, it’s so important to invest time in ourselves and manage our general wellbeing, both physically and mentally.

Investing an hour in ourselves isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity we mustn’t overlook. As an Obsession guest you’re fortunate to be able to choose from a good selection of high-quality wellbeing services that we offer. As well as reflexology which is offered by our very own trained Reflexologist, Laura-Jane, Tori is a trained Reiki specialist and is on hand every Monday (and some Wednesdays and Thursdays) to offer mood-boosting Reiki sessions.

Reiki is something you may have heard of but not fully understand what it is or what it entails. Keep reading, as we unpick what it’s all about and more importantly how it can help you.

Reiki will nurture your body, mind, and spirit

At our Obsession Spa, we understand the power of slowing down, and we’re proud to offer a service that supports this: Reiki.
Whether you’re feeling stressed, emotionally depleted, or simply in need of a reset, Reiki provides a gentle yet deeply restorative way to reconnect with yourself—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and encourages the body’s natural healing processes. Using light touch or hands-off techniques, Reiki allows warm, soothing energy to flow from Tori’s hands through to you. It’s natural. It’s safe. It’s a none-religious practice and is suitable for everyone.

What happens during a Reiki treatment?

Whether you choose a 25 min or 55min treatment, it’ll take place in one of our beautiful, calm spa treatment rooms. You’ll remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on the massage bed. Tori will gently place her hands on or just above various areas of your body. There’s no pressure or manipulation—just stillness and warmth as energy flows from her to you.

You may experience sensations such as tingling, warmth, or deep relaxation, and many people feel a sense of emotional release or inner clarity. Every session is unique, but the goal is always the same: to leave you feeling balanced, restored, and more connected to yourself.

The benefits of Reiki

The fundamental benefit of Reiki is that it supports you as a whole person. It’s a holistic approach to wellbeing and will help with many ailments and conditions:

Physical wellbeing

• Encourages deep relaxation
• Improves sleep quality and reduces fatigue
• Eases muscle tension and physical discomfort
• Supports the immune system and detoxification
• Lowers blood pressure
• Promotes the body’s natural healing processes

Emotional balance

• Reduces stress, anxiety, and emotional fatigue
• Helps release stored emotions and tension
• Enhances mood and fosters emotional resilience

Spiritual renewal

• Clears energetic blockages and aligns the chakras
• Supports personal growth and spiritual awareness
• Encourages a sense of peace, purpose, and connection

Why choose Reiki?

When life feels overwhelming, your body and mind often send subtle signals that it’s time to pause and realign. Reiki offers a calm, safe space to do just that. Each treatment will bring you time and space for healing, clarity, and balance to unfold naturally.

Reiki sessions are available with Tori on Mondays
(with some additional availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays).
