Individual
Treatments
My treatments combine a variety of massage and bodywork techniques with craniosacral therapy, counselling and shamanic healing in a way that attends to the particular needs and intentions of each individual client. At the beginning of our first session we will have a chat and together decide on the best approach to treatment.
The body organises our experience of ourselves and our environment and restrictions and tension at the level of the body will influence the way we perceive and feel our world. My treatments attend to muscular tension and the flow of fluid and energy in the body. As well as relieving physical symptoms current research indicates that bodywork is effective in the treatment of anxiety, depression and post-trauma syndromes and that somatic awareness is strongly linked to a healthy sense of self.
For many clients healing is required at the level of the mind (thoughts, feelings and beliefs). Talk therapy is often the most efficient approach to facilitating this kind of change. Being listened to well, having a space to reflect, express and work through our problems, is not a common experience for many of us. The therapy relationship is confidential, supportive and non-judgemental and this, in itself is powerful medicine. My psychotherapy practice is body-oriented, holistic and is informed by Jungian Psychological theory and practices.
Traditionally a shaman is responsible for the care of the physical and psycho/spiritual health of the community as well as maintaining correct relationship with the natural non-human environment. A shaman has the capacity to enter an altered state of consciousness and travel to the land of spirit. I am not a shaman. I have, however, during my time with the Kofan, undergone particular initiations and have been gifted particular capacities that are effective in relieving many of the illnesses and imbalances of our times. I work with chant, whistle and the medicine of Owl and Elk.
Please note that I will be taking extended leave from December 18th 2023 until February 17th 2024
Sessions options are:
Online – Counselling, energy work and shamanic practices adapt well to a remote space and feedback indicates that these sessions can be both powerful and effective.
