Gentle Release Therapy

23/01/2026

Natalie one of our Gentle Release Practitioners has recently interviewed me for her podcast Wellbeing and Woo 💗

Welcome to the episode where we talk all things Gentle Release.

A great welcome to Helen Robinson who is the creator of Gentle Release Therapy - a gentle yet profoundly powerful therapeutic approach that weaves together principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, intuitive energy work, and cranial release techniques. Her work supports release on physical, emotional, and energetic levels, helping people feel safe enough to soften, exhale and come back to themselves.

Helen has trained over 185 practitioners including myself across the UK and overseas and now dedicates her time to teaching and expanding the Gentle Release Method through practitioner trainings, retreats and online education.



Settle in and enjoy the conversation.

This morning, my eyes were opened to see the true and deepest beauty of the alchemy of Gentle Release Therapy.

I’ve been honoured to be invited to walk alongside someone in their healing for the last month.

Gentle Release created the physical and emotional space needed for deeper release… and then the Spirit Points worked their magic behind the scenes — gently clearing the constructs we gather along the way, and the bindings they create, so that our Shen (or Spirit) can lead us back onto our true path.

Today, we walked forward to release what her Vagus Nerve had been holding so closely and resolutely. We allowed the old book to close — the one filled with wounds and stories. The book that once felt like safety, simply because it was familiar. And in what we’ve always known, there is safety… even when it’s no longer keeping us safe. The book that had been pulling the strings of her life, affecting every decision she ever made.

Never rushed, never hurried, despite the noise and pressure from the outside world.

We waited and we listened, working with what felt right in each moment, and what was truly ready to release.

Without drama, without stress, we eventually, but gently let the book fall and turn to ashes, and cut those strings for good.

My beautiful, brave client now gets to write her own story.

One place left – Practitioner Training starts this Saturday

Our Virtual Gentle Release Therapy Practitioner Training Retreat begins this Saturday, and there is only one place remaining.

The training runs live on Zoom across three full days:

• Saturday 10th January
• Sunday 11th January
• Saturday 24th January
• 9am – 5pm each day

This is a small, practical training with a maximum of 8 students.
The structure is the same as the in-person course, demonstration, practice swaps, feedback, and repetition, so you leave confident in the work.

Alongside learning the technique, the training also allows time for your own personal release — physical, emotional and spiritual.

The treatments you will both give and receive allow your own system to soften and release layers of stress, tension, and emotional build-up. This often brings more clarity, lightness, and a noticeable shift in how you feel in yourself, not through pushing, but through steady, supported practice.

You’ll receive a full course pack in advance, I can ship today by special delivery.

This training qualifies you to offer Gentle Release Therapy treatments, both in person and virtually, and is suitable for:

• existing therapists or healthcare professionals
• those with no prior training who feel called to this work

Cost:
£455 for existing therapists / healthcare providers
£555 with no prior training

Accredited by FHT, AOR, Thinktree and CThA.

This course is the gateway to accessing the Gentle Release Vagus Nerve, Gentle Release Advanced Practitioner and our amazing EnerQi Facial Rejuvenation Treatment.

If you’d like to take the final place, you can complete the Course Booking Form now.
If you’re unsure and want to check a detail before booking, you’re welcome to get in touch.

Some experiences are hard to put into words.

Again and again, we hear how Gentle Release Therapy training brings more than professional learning. It creates a sense of lightness. A softening. A quiet calm that many haven’t felt for a long time.

Not through pushing or fixing, but by being gently held, and allowing what’s ready to ease.

What does “nervous-system-led healing” actually mean?

It means we don’t try to force change.

Instead of asking “what do we need to fix?”
we start with “what does the body need to feel safe enough to let go?”

When the nervous system has been in protection mode for a long time — fight, flight, freeze, overwhelm — the body resists even positive change. Not because it’s broken, but because it’s trying to keep us safe.

Nervous-system-led healing gently supports the body to settle first.
From that place of safety, regulation and connection, change can happen naturally.

This is why people often say after Gentle Release:
🤍 “I feel calmer”
🤍 “I feel lighter”
🤍 “It feels like coming home”

Nothing was forced.
Nothing was pushed.
The body was simply given permission to soften.

Healing doesn’t need intensity.
Often, it just needs safety.

We’ve been listening carefully to what Gentle Release Practitioners truly need.

Not just new techniques,
but spaces that hold our nervous systems as gently as our business intentions.

From January, we’re opening something new for our practitioner community, a place to be supported, seen, and accompanied as you grow.

🤍 Monthly live guided Gentle Release sessions, a chance to settle, receive, and reconnect
🤍 Monthly Build My Business workshops, exploring your work in a way that feels aligned and nourishing
🤍 Visibility tools to help your unique voice be seen and understood, including gentle support with newsletters, social media, and sharing your work in ways that feel authentic
🤍 Shared online working spaces, gentle co-working time alongside others, with space to focus on the things that often get put off, accounts, newsletters, social posts, case studies
🤍 Quarterly lecture days

This isn’t about algorithms or pushing yourself forward.
It’s about being understood in a way that feels safe and sustainable.

This also isn’t about hustle or doing more.

It’s about building steady confidence, real community, and a sense of ease as your practice grows, at a pace that meets you exactly where you are.

Your goals matter, whether they’re financial, personal, professional, or quietly spiritual.
And you don’t have to hold them alone.

This is open to Gentle Release Practitioners, Spirit Point Practitioners and students.

The little lady asked for the Lemax Railway for her birthday in early December so, following some birthday and Christmas gifts she now has a little Christmas Village! Next years job will be to hide the wires!

The very sweet part is that my dad who passed away even before she was born, was obsessed with trains and built his own model railways!
