Fraser Coast Ortho-Bionomy

Fraser Coast Ortho-Bionomy Ortho-Bionomy sessions and classes for pain relief, improved posture and nervous system reset. How does Ortho-Bionomy Work?

I received my first Ortho-Bionomy treatment in 1997, while struggling with an ongoing shoulder injury. I was intrigued that such a gentle method could have such powerful benefits. Within (3) treatments the chronic issue I had been living with for several years, and for which I'd undergone all kinds of treatment, resolved entirely. Coming from a science and Remedial Massage background, I began to study with Ortho-Bonomy Instructors myself in 1998. Originally my interest was for the ongoing professional development requirements of health fund compliancy for the massage industry. I soon realised the benefits the treatment offered, beyond that of massage. Studying in a self paced way, I spent the next (10) years attending classes, incorporating Ortho-Bionomy into my treatemnts, and now practice and teach as an Advanced Practitioner and Instructor of Ortho-Bionomy. I practice Ortho-Bionomy exclusively in my clinic now for several reasons

Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle, non-invasive method of therapeutic bodywork which uniquely addresses pain and stress patterns and promotes structural balance and ease of movement. Ortho-Bionomy differs from many forms of body work in that it doesn’t use pain to treat pain, or use forceful work to oppose what is structurally occurring within the body. Instead, Ortho-Bionomy interacts with the natural movement and structural patterns of the nervous system. These natural patterns are what allow our body to heal when injured. But sometimes, through injury, chronic pain, incorrect posture, repetitive overuse, disease or even aging, these patterns for self correction become overridden, confused, or inaccessible to the nervous system, and natural recovery can't occur. When we work supportively with the patterns currently at play within the body instead, of attempting to forcefully overpower them, information can be given to the nervous system that creates a follow-on effect through the body's natural reflexes. This allows corrections to occur comfortably for clients. Ortho-Bionomy Practitioners are trained to assess imbalances in the body that may cause pain or dysfunction. Then using gentle but deliberate movement, practitioners assist and track the client’s body as it accesses the self-corrective capacity, to return to optimum health.

Ever feel like your body is stuck in “go, go, go” mode? 🌀
That’s your nervous system running on overdrive.

The good news? Your body already knows how to reset. Sometimes it just needs a gentle nudge—a breath, a pause, a mindful practice.

That’s exactly what we’re here for at 𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦—guiding you back to ease, one small reset at a time. 💛

Try this simple nervous system reset:
🌿 Place one hand on your chest, one on your belly
🌿 Take three slow breaths, letting your exhale be just a little longer than your inhale
🌿 Notice how your body softens

Tiny shifts like this tell your system: you’re safe, you can rest.

Save this as a reminder for your next pause.

1st class for 2026....... it will be here before we know it 😊

Ortho-Bionomy® isn’t about fixing — it’s about listening. It’s a presence-based practice that invites us to meet the body where it is, so true change can unfold from within.

When we’re truly met, something inside us recognizes it — and responds with wisdom, ease, and trust. 💛

Next weekend I'm teaching a Phase 5 Ortho-Bionomy class. Students will be learning how to be present to the reflexive responses of their clients. When we offer that presence, the client can truly experience their own physical, mental and emotional patterns. From that experience of themself, the client is able to find their best state.
It's really about being present, from an understanding of the intelligence of the nervous system.
I'm excited there will soon be a few more more people with that amazing skill.

Humans can only truly heal when they feel safe and supported. Its the superpower of Ortho-Bionomy.

Trauma isn’t just “all in the head.”
It’s not just memories or thoughts — it lives on in our bodies, in the way we move, breathe, and feel. The lingering effects can show up as chronic pain, tension, fatigue, emotional imbalances, illness, and much more.
We often use the word "feelings" for our emotions. So we instinctively know there is a "felt in the body" aspect to the mental state
While talking therapies can offer valuable insights and emotional release, they may only address only part of the picture.
Trauma isn't just stored in our minds; it’s stored in our tissues, muscles, and fascia.
And that's where Ortho-Bionomy can have a role.
In Ortho-Bionomy we use gentle contact and specific movement to facilitate a deep relaxation response, allowing the body to reset and restore balance as best it's able. It’s a holistic approach that acknowledges the mind-body connection, helping you heal from the inside out.
If you’ve been doing the mental work but still feel stuck, maybe it’s time to include some body work.
