Question 1

What is Holistic Therapeutic Massage?

Accepted Answer

Therapeutic massage can relieve sports injuries as well as recurring issues like lower back problems, tight neck and shoulders, tinnitus, etc.

I was trained in Therapeutic holistic Massage at the College of Holistic Medicine, and qualified in 1987. This course was one of the best massage courses in the country at the time.

I feel very strongly that wholistic massage is a powerful medium of bodywork and I incorporate it into other treatment sessions when it will be beneficial to the client.

3 decades of clinical practice.

Initial session will include a case history.

Details:
This type of wholistic massage is suitable for all people, from newborns to the elderly. My qualifications include the Diploma of Therapeutic  Massage and I am a Member of the Society of Holistic Medicine (MSHM).

Question 2

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Craniosacral therapy is a light touch therapy, which helps the body to reset itself to neutral.

The client will lay on the couch or be treated sitting up or on their side, depending on need. The therapist will make gentle hand contact with their body, either on the feet, sacrum (lower back) or the skull. In doing so, the therapist will tune into the primal rhythm of the client's fascia and nervous system.

When it is disordered, the body is in a state of imbalance and, when met in this place, will unravel and find a state of stillness. Most clients feel intensely relaxed or drop asleep whilst having a treatment.

The space is held so that you can be free to experience and process the change that you are a part of in this moment.

Details:
Craniosacral therapy is suitable for all the family, from newborn to the elderly. I have successfully treated clients with the following:
- Frozen shoulder
- Tinnitus
- Sciatica
- Pelvic floor issues
- Persistent back problems
- Neck issues
- Babies after birth
- Children who are traumatized.

Question 3

What is Perinital Counselling & Birth Recovery

Accepted Answer

The birth of a baby comes with immense joy and hope for a new life.  But for the mother and sometimes partners, that birth journey was filled with anxiety, fear and trauma.

Current research show that 30% births leave the mother, partner or family in a state of trauma, experiencing anxiety, panic attacks and PTSD.

Of those 1.5-9% suffer PTSD.

Here are some of the signs of PTSD
- Hyper vigilance
- Tearfulness
- Anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Anger
- Unable to think clearly
- Tiredness 
- Unable to rest
- Overly tidy
- Feeling of disconnection
- Still healing from surgery or birth
- Unable to look at the baby or hold your baby
- Unable to bond with baby
- Reoccuring thoughts
- Flash-backs
- Not feeling heard
- Scared for yourself and your baby

This is the time you need to seek help!
