Overview of my approach to healing

My approach can be described quite simply:

(1) Listen to the body

(2) Uncover (together with you) the history, emotional associations and systemic resonances with the presenting condition, as they are manifest in the body and the body’s energy systems.

(3) Using gentle bodywork and herbs, bring those area’s outwith your consciousness into consciousness, support this process, and thus allow the body’s own healing ability to start.

This approach is based on my observations that wherever there is illness there is also a ‘blind spot’ in consciousness and body awareness. By bringing that which is hidden into awareness and supporting the process, self-healing starts.

For some people, it is very hard to relax and open enough for us to ‘read’ the deeper stories within the body. Often this is apparent in a physical stiffness, lack of body awareness and difficulty expressing feelings or emotions. In this case, I either start working in a more physical way until the body opens, or refer people for a series of more physical treatments such as shiatsu.
