I seriously love *intraoral craniosacral work. Having a jaw that can go out of alignment myself I know firsthand how painful TMJ and jaw-related issues can be and how powerfully this work can address it. I first trained in intraoral craniosacral work about eight years ago and last year I attended two more trainings where I learned new levels of working with jaw-related issues.
I want to ensure I offer this work at an excellent level and anchor it in my practice, so just for now, I am offering a generous discount for intraoral sessions in my Bellingen clinic - So you can receive the help you need and I can utilise these amazing skills.

To know more or book yourself a session please contact me on:
0422213183 or through my website:
www.samanthajohnsontherapies.com

*Intraoral craniosacral work is gloved work inside the mouth - addressing pain from injury, stiff jaw, TMJ dysfunction, tinnitus, dental work, and emotional stress.

THE EDGE YOU CARRY WITH YOU

You know
so very well
the edge
of darkness
you have
always
carried with you.

You know
so very well,
your childhood legacy:

that particular,
inherited
sense of hurt,
given to you
so freely
by the world
you entered.

And you know
too well
by now

the body’s
hesitation
at the invitation
to undo
everything
others seemed
to want to
make you learn.

But your edge
of darkness
has always
made
its own definition
secretly
as an edge of light

and the door
you closed
might,
by its very nature
be
one just waiting
to be leant against
and opened.

And happiness
might just
be a single step away,
on the other side
of that next
unhelpful
and undeserving
thought.

Your way home,
understood now,
not as an achievement,
but as a giving up,
a blessed undoing,
an arrival
in the body
and a full rest
in the give
and take
of the breath.

This living
breathing body
always waiting
to greet you
at the door,
always prepared
to give you
the rest you need,
always,
no matter
the long
years away,
still
wanting you,
to come home.

“Your heart will fix itself. It’s your mind you need to worry about. Your mind where you locked the memories, your mind where you have kept pieces of the ones that hurt you, that still cut through you like shards of glass. Your mind will keep you up at night, make you cry, destroy you over and over again. You need to convince your mind that it has to let go…because your heart already knows how to heal.”

― Nikita Gill

Blessings of Love and Light,

I could not agree more.
True healing goes deeper than symptoms; it involves getting clear about your real identity and purpose in life.

Hello fellow humans, How are you doing out there? What's the reality for you riding this wave of uncertainty and change?
It's palpable to me that many are going through the motions of a lot of stress right now. I mean a LOT. As tender humans we have a big job just digesting what our primal nervous system is working with right now. It is very easy to loose your centre, store the stress and run on adrenaline and primal patterns. All of us are riding this collective wave. Right now a lot is amping and moving fast.
A little too fast for digestion for many and this may be showing up as insomnia, body tightness, adrenal overload, headaches, heart palpitations, feeling vague, out of it, chaotic, sad or angry. Basically whatever takes over to help steer the ship when we are in waters beyond our comfort and security.

You probably know, if you work with me, I have a trauma informed ability to help others with their nervous systems and navigate the inner realms we human get stuck and blocked in. This work helps us stay here and now in our own experience without getting blown over and strengthens the inner 'tool kit' to stay grounded and in yourself.

A good thing for 2020.

I feel clear I want to offer my skills at this time. Usually this is in session with my clients however I am suspending face to face work while we are navigating this health situation. I feel a moral obligation to do my part and support my communities immune system.

What I will be doing as of next week is opening space for phone and skpe sessions. This is my offering to boost immunity and true wellness for us. If you are feeling the heat and could do with some assistance over the coming weeks this work is very likely to help you.

I have experience working with clients over the phone when they have needed extra support. I will be piloting new terrain myself yet I am still confident to be sharing the work.

As such sessions will be donation based (recommended $30 and above).

In the coming weeks please keep in mind this offer stands.

This is an opportunity for anyone regardless of if you are a new or old client. It doesn't matter if you live in my town or the other side of Aus- or the globe. If you need a space - one can be made for you. Regulating your nervous system and returning to centre is possible and very important in trying circumstances.

In deep wellness and connection.

Emerging from a two day immersion in Philip Shepherd's embodiment work. This is core and fundamental shifting into your self and reality as you may never have known it could be. Whole, ever expansive and rich from the deepest safest place - your own body intelligence. What a new and healed world we would inhabit if people knew how to anchor them selves in the pelvic brain.

If your doing your inner work or want to support the road back to your wellness and wholeness - this work ,at its simplest level, is like investing in your tool kit for grounded wellness and from there you will perceive the profound ramifications for humankinds potential ; to know we securely belong to the earth and can choose to live from a centre of belonging, unity that moves reciprocally through us into the world at large.

What Philip teaches is alive in his body - he is walking it.

Check out his books and teaching schedule.

Thanks to Philip and Allyson for holding a sound and potent group container. What a joy to be a part of.

No place like home.

This is the natural, inevitable expression from women & their bodies after Sacred Female Yoga

It takes a stellar book to get the highlighters out. Paramount relevancy here for all humans - I will venture to say essential. The time for this book is NOW. May we keep waking up from our cultural amnesia and into our innate potential.

Thankyou Philip Shepherd

There are some plants I class as dearest friends and ally. Vivid and never far from my child hood memory. Some children adore animals, some plants, flowers and wild things and some the whole cohort!! I can't remember before it was this way for me..... Studying old herbal lore texts as a teenager and keeping medicinal plant note books - to my first garden and then the first ones who talked to me. Yes, talk.
On many a day I prefer their company to two leggeds.

Have you sat your bones down on a humble patch of earth lately - For a spell of time and held yourself in commune with them?
This is one of my favourite things.

I have never made them into medicine this way, until this week.

Behold Chickeed and Plantain healing salve.

Learning new ways, all the time.

The intelligence that lives in our bones. Always more to discover. Amazing!

When faced with a predator or sudden danger, the heart rate goes up, breathing becomes more rapid, and fuel in the form of glucose is pumped throughout the body to prepare an animal to fight or flee.
