Just the Tonic -Holistic Therapies in Rugby, Warwickshire
About Karen
Hi I'm Karen, founder of Just the Tonic Holistic Therapies.
Hi, I'm Karen, the face behind Just the Tonic Holistic Therapies.
My Journey into the beauty and wellbeing world began back in 2011, and over the years both my business and I have grown and evolved in ways I could never have imagined when I first started out.
Today my heart lies very much within holistic wellbeing, with Reiki becoming a particularly special part of both my personal and professional journey. I feel incredibly lucky to have created a business that allows me to do something I genuinely love, helping people step away from the busyness of everyday life and enjoy some much needed time for themselves.
Whether you are visiting me for a treatment, exploring Reiki for the first time or beginning your own Reiki journey through my training, you'll always receive a warm welcome at Just the Tonic.

My Approach
My approach is simple, I want you to feel comfortable, welcomed and completely at ease from the moment you arrive.
Everyone is different and I believe your experience should reflect that. I take the time to listen to you and create a treatment experience that feels right for you, without rushing or pressure.
My treatment room is a calm, welcoming space where you can step away from everything for a while, switch off and simply enjoy some time that is yours.
Whether you are experiencing Reiki for the first time, enjoying one of my holistic therapies or exploring breathwork, my aim is for you to leave feeling relaxed, supported and a little more connected to yourself.
My Qualifications & Experience
My journey within the beauty and wellbeing industry began in 2011, when I gained my Level 2 qualification in Beauty Therapy and started my own mobile beauty business, Lily Beauty.
I later progressed to Level 3, which introduced massage into my work and began my move towards the more relaxing and holistic side of wellbeing. Along the way, I also gained valuable experience working within an award winning salon while continuing to develop my own mobile business.
In March 2019, Lily Beauty became Just the Tonic Beauty & Retreats, marking the beginning of a new chapter. A few months later, in July 2019, I took on my treatment room at the Wellbeing Suite in Rugby, giving Just the Tonic a permanent home.
My passion for holistic therapies continued to grow and in 2021, I gained my Level 3 qualification in Reflexology. As my own interests and treatments became increasingly holistic, the business naturally evolved too, becoming Just the Tonic Holistic Therapies.
Reiki went on to become at huge part of my journey and eventually led me to become a Reiki Master Teacher. Today, Reiki sits at the heart of my work, both through the treatments I offer and through teaching Reiki Level 1, 2 and Master, and supporting my students on their own Reiki Journeys.
More recently, I have also trained as a Breathwork Facilitator, adding another element to my work that complements Reiki and my other holistic therapies beautifully.
Continued learning has always been important to me and I love looking back at how the little mobile beauty business I started in 2011 has gradually grown and evolved into Just the Tonic Holistic Therapies as it is today.
My Philosophy
I believe we all need a little space sometimes to simply stop.
Life can be busy and taking time for ourselves can so easily find its way to the bottom of the list. For me, selfcare doesn't need to be complicated, sometimes it begins with simply giving yourself permission to slow down, breathe and receive.
Just the Tonic is a space where you don't need to achieve anything or be anything for anyone else. You can simply arrive as you are, switch off for a while and enjoy some time that is completely yours.
Whether that's through Reiki, reflexology, massage, breathwork or another holistic experience, I want the time you spend with me to feel like a little pause from the outside world.
That feeling is at the heart of everything I do.

My Signature Reiki session was absolutely beautiful. Karen was so lovely and explained the treatment thoroughly beforehand. I left feeling so relaxed and like the weight of the world had been lifted from my shoulders. I will definitely be back!

I felt very agitated and hyperactive before my appointment with Karen. As soon as I entered the room I felt a lot calmer immediately. The treatment was soothing and relaxing and I immediately felt the benefit afterwards. I have felt a lot calmer and the hyperactivity has calmed down completely. It was my first time meeting with Karen and she was very warm and welcoming and I will definitely be going back again. 5 stars all round.

This is my third Reiki treatment with Karen and it has become a staple in my wellness routine... I leave feeling less anxious and it always brings positive energy into my subsequent days...

Such a relaxing experience. Lovely surroundings, Karen makes you feel so at home. My treatment was reflexology and mini Reiki - such a treat to be able to experience such a peaceful break from busy life. Thoroughly recommend.
