Harmonic Resonance Bodywork

Our Story

We are delighted you have arrived at our "Harmonic Resonance Bodywork" FaceBook page! Harmonic Resonance Bodywork is an original and exciting holistic therapy. This modality is heart centred, nourishing, rebalancing and pain-free. It promotes vitality and healing, all the while appreciating the precious mind/body/spirit connection. The therapy is a heart centered bodywork developed by Ian Soutar, a local healer and electronic health product developer. Ian studied traditional Trager therapy under the teaching of Dr. Milton Trager. Trager is a gentle rocking technique that rebalances the body to its natural alignment and resilience. It is fantastic for bodies attempting to recover or maintain a healthy mobility. This technique uses gentle, rhythmic and enjoyable wave-like movements that pass through the body to promote deep relaxation, neurological improvements, healing and enhanced range of motion. The “rhythms” are based on the client’s own natural body resonances. Ian blends together his studies of the above Trager technique, with his knowledgable practice of Buddhist and Sufi healing rituals, traditional massage, as well as the matrix energetics method (which is a similar therapy to reiki healing), to create a completely balanced modality for increasing clients health and innate capacity to heal. Clients remain fully dressed in relaxed yoga or exercise clothing for their experience, or can request the addition of hot coconut oil to the massage portion of their treatment. Each session with Ian is meant to be completely client-based, meaning it’s your treatment! Feel free to ask him to tailor each session to your specific requirements. *There is also an option (which must be requested before your appointment time) to receive a truly nourishing opportunity of a four handed massage with Ian and his colleague, Sally Ross. **At harmonic Resonance Bodywork we also offer lifestyle counseling to deal with chronic disease issues, advice on vitamins, nutrition, exercise and mineral supplements for a long, happy and healthy life. ***Anyone suffering from the after affect of abuse related trauma can contact Ian for other optional bodywork therapies to assist them in their healing. ****A special variety of Harmonic Resonance is offered for singers and public speakers to strengthen their voice. People report that this bodywork has helped them physically, reduced their pain, speeded their healing and induced a long lasting, positive state of being, centred in the balancing of their heart, mind and body.

Warmly, Harmonic Resonance Bodywork TESTIMONIALS ********************** Testimonial from a Victoria female dance instructor: S.W. “I have had a lot of injuries over the years because of my job as a professional dancer. As I have gotten slightly older I found that what once were little aches turned into constant pain. I didn’t think much about this body work and frankly thought it wouldn’t have any effect on me. After my first session though I felt different. More balanced and would be how I would describe it. The amount of pain was noticeably reduced and I continued to feel much better for a while after. When the pain resurfaced I went back to Ian for another session and after this one again I felt much better and this time the pain stayed away. Ian is great at giving tricks and exercises to do that are very effective at keeping the pain away. It works. There’s really no other way to say it. During the session I felt very calm and respected. I appreciated how Ian talked through everything and was constantly checking in to see how I was feeling and if I wanted anything differently or felt uncomfortable. Very professional, very spiritual, very effective.” S.W. (Dance Instructor from Victoria) ***** ***** ***** Therapeutic Testimonial from a local Victoria Chiropractor: “After your first Harmonic Resonance session, I experienced some very unexpected and welcome improvements. Your protocol zeroed in on some old injury sites in a hip, lower back and ankle areas. The main thing was a completely balanced sensation with my gait. For example the left hip (hurt in a snowmobiling accident) now had the same freedom as the right. The left foot felt like it was planting normally, meaning that the arch felt ‘relaxed’. There were sensations over a three day post session period that make me think you are affecting something neurological. I also look forward to employing the exercises you showed me. As you know, I have already recommended your gifted care to some friends and neighbours. Thank you Ian.” -Clay Campbell, B.Sc.,D.C., ***** Testimonial from Victoria client, Theresa Stokes: “I first went to see to Ian for Harmonic Resonance Bodywork. I had depression and all my muscles were stiff and sore. After each session my range of movement greatly improved and my energy level increased. I noticed that my over active mind began to slow down. I had been pushing down guilt and shame emotions in my body for a very long time from sexual abuse as a teenager, physical and mental abuse in a marriage and the su***de of my son. The heart centering body work feels like it has released trauma from the cellular level. I feel such a connection with my body and spirit. I now have peace of mind, higher self-esteem and love for myself.
