Holistic Bodywork - Avis Callander

30/05/2025

Looking for more bodies!

Over the past few weeks I’ve been exploring a new approach to bodywork — osteopathic philosophy using Bowen technique — focusing on balancing the entire system rather than directly addressing the symptom.

As the system finds balance, symptoms often begin to shift, sometimes in unexpected ways.

More energy. A more grounded nervous system. Increased focus. A greater sense of being embodied and present.

Structural balance can return, pain patterns may shift, and nervous system symptoms can ease.

I’m ready to begin layering in new elements: supporting ventral vagal “safety and connection” state, and working with the lymphatic system to specifically address symptoms linked to chronic immune challenge.

This combined approach could be especially valuable for those experiencing chronic structural, nervous system, or immune system imbalances — such as CFS, fibromyalgia. long covid or post-viral fatigue.

If this sounds like something you'd like to experience — or you know someone who might benefit — I’d love to hear from you.

We’ll work together for a minimum of 4–5 sessions, $75 each (allow 90 minutes), and simply explore what shifts become possible when the body is supported from this perspective.

I'm available Tuesdays and Fridays - sessions run from my studio in Spearwood.

Mother’s Day is nearly here...

For the mum who could use a moment - some space, some stillness, a chance to reconnect - a deep, soulful massage or bodywork session might be just the thing.

I’ve got 60-minute vouchers ($100) and 90-minute vouchers ($150) ready to go.

They can be emailed, posted, or picked up from Spearwood. Message me to arrange.

So...I need some bodies...
Read on to see if this is for you,..

I’m exploring a new bodywork approach - Bowen meets chiropractic philosophy meets craniosacral therapy..
The sequence is designed to;

* Balance the secondary respiratory system (the subtle movement of pelvic and cranial bones as we breathe)
* Improve spinal alignment
* Reduce pain and tension throughout body
* Enhance nervous system function

I’m hoping clients will experience;

* Less pain and discomfort throughout body
* Reduction in chronic nervous system-related conditions
* Better posture and spinal positioning
* A greater sense of energy and overall function

To help me explore this technique I need;

* 4 curious people willing to commit to 5 weekly sessions
* Experiencing persistent issues related to pain, nervous system function, fatigue, or spinal posture
* Available Tuesdays or Fridays from late April / early May

Session Details:

* First session: 90 minutes (includes intake + physical assessment)
* Subsequent sessions: 60 minutes
* Introductory price: $50 per session

If you’re keen to put your hand up and be part of this exploration, send me a message!

March Offer - $80 Balance and Foundation - Focus on Hips, Knees, Ankles and Feet

I've been working with a client who has experienced a loss of stability through her feet and ankles, due to injury, which tends to make her more prone to supination through the feet (rolling out) and more prone to falls. She also experiences tightness and curling through her toes, which can become painful.

After our Emmett sessions she feels a greater sense of ease, strength and stability through her feet and ankles. Her pain is gone, and her feet are able to stand with with even, central pressure on the floor.
Giving her a solid foundation upon which to move.

Emmett technique is highly effective at increasing stability though the body. Stability comes from our deep core muscles, and through muscles of the legs and feet. When these muscles become tight and restricted, or are not engaging, the body lacks stability.

In traditional remedial massage it can be challenging, and often painful, to access these deep core muscles.

In Emmett we use very gentle, light techniques to re-set these core muscles, allowing them to work together effectively. The benefits can be felt throughout the body.

Emmett technique is a minimalist approach to bodywork.
A light touch, a short hold, a brief 'switch'.
Emmett can be used whenever there is pain, discomfort or restriction in the body.
It blends beautifully with remedial massage, with emotional work, or as a stand alone treatment for pain and discomfort.

Curious about Emmett technique?

This month I'm offering reduced Emmett sessions focusing on creating a solid and balanced foundation.

Our feet and ankles are the foundation upon which we stand and contact the earth.

Our pelvis sits at our structural centre, holding the base of our spine moving upwards, while transmitting the weight of gravity moving downwards to our feet.

Any abnormal pressures and deviations transmit unequal forces throughout the kinetic chain, in both directions, causing discomfort and pain.

Allow your body to rediscover it's centre, it's foundation, it's balanced, by releasing the tension patterns which are holding it out of balance.

Experience Emmett - $80 for foundational sessions this March.

Book Now or message me to book.

Note - April we'll focus on bringing softness, strength and fluidity back into the spine - ideal for lordosis, sciatica, lower back pain, mid thoracic stiffness, neck pain.
