Welcome to Philautia
(Pronounced fil-AW'-tee-uh)
Philautia is an ancient Greek word for Love.
It is the love we give to ourselves; our mind, body and soul in a non-narcissistic way.
It is the notion that we need to love ourselves before we can love and care for others (Self Love).
It is the foundation upon which love can be built. The more you love yourself on a deeper level - in a non-vanity way, the better your foundation is to love, care and help others.
Here at Philautia we aim to nurture, relax, recharge and revive your mind, body and soul with a variety of holistic, healing and meditation techniques to help you feel alive and new in no time.
*All treatments are subject to a completed consultation form
£1 from every treatment will be donated to The Albert Street Project, to provide food, clothes and toiletries for the homeless in Birmingham, UK.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Lukesh, as with all people that have walked through life, I have been through some interesting personal journeys. These journeys have
provided me with a chance to expand my knowledge whilst learning a variety of invaluable lessons. They have shown me how the body reacts to negativity and stress, and how important it is to remain as positive as possible.
I have always been passionate about helping people, guiding and motivating them to reach their full potential. Helping them discover that there are always different paths available to them, that they only
have to look within to find the strength and courage they need.
It was from this passion that Philautia (my company) was born. So I studied professionally in 12 different holistic and healing methods. I developed myself further and became a meditation teacher, life and
spiritual coach. I am also and author of a book titled Changes, which is an inspirational, motivational quote book written by myself.
My back ground is a qualified BSc Biomedical Scientist in Haematology, Blood Bank and Histology and an IT Consultant; Senior Service Ops/Solutions Technician
I co run and have set up two charity groups with friends:
The Albert Street Project since 2013 - which is a self-funded voluntary group where we are providing meals, clothing and socialising with the homeless and less fortunate people of Birmingham, UK every Wednesday.
All items we hand out are purchased by ourselves or generously donated by friends, family members and local sandwich shops. We are blessed with an amazing team full of beautiful souls who are kind hearted,
caring and down to earth. We are also blessed to have new volunteers getting involved every week. Prior to this group I had been helping the homeless every Wednesday in 2012

Love Happy Days – Random acts of kindness within the community – which was set up early 2015. This is mostly a self - funded voluntary group between myself and a beautiful soul named Gurpreet who run this group but we are blessed to have donations as and when people can donate and get involved. I am blessed to work with beautiful souls on this project who have the same passion as I do resulting in this group being created. Our monthly projects have included – gardening for the Women’s Refuge centre, helping at the soup kitchen with a storeroom and office makeover, food parcels for school children via Ladywood Project, surprise deliveries to people in need of a smile and boost in life, Halloween hampers full of treats for
children’s hospital ward, disability centres/schools and A&E, afternoon tea party for an elderly care home, a meditation session and tea party for multiple sclerosis group in Oldbury, West Midlands.
I love putting a smile on someone’s face, we don’t know what people go through on a daily basis and to make someone smile is the biggest achievement for me.
Something that I see time and time again is people don’t stop, they live their lives at full speed! They forget to nurture and care for themselves. They don’t take time out to love their mind, body or soul; in turn they
suffer.
For me personally; holistic, healing, meditation and the use of quotes and affirmations has been invaluable.
Quotes and affirmations are simple to use and have guided, motivated and inspired me, but most of all they have helped me stay positive. It was my knowledge of the powerful and natural effects that holistic, healing, meditation, quotes and affirmations can have, that naturally led me to opening up my own clinic and writing my own quotes and in turn my book - Changes.
I have written each quote from the heart; from my own life experiences and with the knowledge I have gained overcoming sadness, heartache, illness, negativity, insecurities, bullying and self-doubt.
Each quote/affirmation has its own theme, a personal message to help release negativity and self-doubt whilst providing guidance, courage, and positivity; with the ultimate aim of helping you find inner peace.
I also write one off quotes on my Facebook and Instagram pages, so please follow for daily doses of positivity
I hope you are always happy and blessed.
Love and Light, Peace and Happiness
Philautia (Lukesh)
