Working with therapies that deliver an holistic approach of supporting people, to attain and maintain good health, wellbeing and increasing resilience. My experience is that; for a person to be able to access their healing and growth, it is important to work in a way that addresses the needs of the whole person i.e. physically, mentally emotionally, energetically and spiritually. Here are the therapies that I offer:-
BRIEF Transactional Analysis (TA) THERAPY -this is a talking therapy and is available to work with me online on a 1 to 1 basis. Working with TA psychotherapy models, self-soothing techniques and additional self-management tools that support people to function more successfully in society and lead to greater autonomy, self awareness and growth. QUANTUM HEALING FACILITATOR - running Quantum Healing groups, that offer people a chance to connect with others, learn new ways to meditate, have guided visualisation, breathing and self soothing techniques. TRAUMA DISCHARGE THERAPY - bringing together pyschologically informed touch, which has also been developed and informed with the latest findings of neuroscience. MASSAGE THERAPY
Certainly one of the oldest known therapies to man. History shows that this method of healing has been used since at least 3000BC. This form of healing takes into account the physical, mental, emotional, energy and spirtual well-being of the client. Therapeutic massage is given with a view to creating & maintaining the best possible health. The style of massage can vary considerably and so it is always discussed with each client - what their needs are and what massage will be of most benefit to them on the day so their massage will be tailored specifically to suit them. Massage is used to help relieve the strains & tensions of daily life. It has given relief from muscular aches & pains, increased mobility in joints & is known to improve the circulatory system whilst at the same time, providing nourishment to the skin & improving the overall appearance. Psychologically, it is calming, soothing & helps to relieve anxiety or depression. In turn, all of these benefits have a positive effect on the emotional well-being of a person and can lift a persons energy. Many people increase their self awareness & become more educated about their own bodies, through receiving therapeutic massage. This in turn helps a person to know themselves and their truth. I have trained in many different forms of massage including; NO HANDS, Deep tissue, Aromatherapy, Swedish, Thai, Balinese & baby massage. This enables me as a therapist to tailor the massage specifically to meet the needs of the individual. I am super impressed at how my clients have been able to make amazing transformations with NO HANDS massage, so much so that I became a licensed instructor, so that I can help others to learn this advanced approach to massage and in turn offer it to their clients. AROMATHERAPY
The ancient art of healing, using plant essences that are extracted & made up into essential oils. These are then used for medicinal properties & applied to the body in a variety of ways e.g. massage, bathing, inhalation & compresses. Essential oils can also be added to creams & used in many beauty & skincare treatments. Aromatherapy is suitable for people of all ages & has been helpful in treating various conditions e.g. depression, anger, headaches, insomnia, stress & related symptoms. The oils are well known for their gently stimulating or calming effects & their ability to bring about a sense of harmony & well-being. They are also invaluable as a way of preventing illness. Aromatherapy promotes healing for the whole being, therefore treating a person physically, mentally & emotionally. After an initial consultation, the most suitable oils are selected to meet the requirements of each client. Each blend of oils is individual & determined by the scents that the client prefers as well as by the desired effect. Various synergies can be blended for use with your massage. REIKI
A Japanese transformational & holistic healing system also used for relaxation. Reiki works with “life force” energy known as “Ki” or “Chi”. Oriental medicine describes the circulatory system not only as a series of blood networks but also as a succession of energy pathways running throughout the body (meridians). The essence of health is seen as a free flow of an abundant supply of Ki throughout the body. Reiki is known to loosen blocked energies that are causing an imbalance & can lead to illness. It is a completely natural & holistic way of treating illness & has positive benefits the whole being i.e. physically, mentally & emotionally
Reiki is received fully clothed, either on the couch or in a seated position. Whilst receiving Reiki, a person often becomes extremely relaxed & may actually feel the energy flowing through them. The energy flows into the subtle meridians & Chakra system of your body, promoting balance, cleansing the body of toxins & stimulating the body’s own self-healing process. The effects of the Reiki are very individual to the person receiving the Reiki e.g. Occasionally, Reiki may release emotions & tears may flow or an outburst of laughter may occur. I work with the above therapies, with an holistic approach. These therapies help to give a person greater self-awareness and understanding.
