TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises)

TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is based on the fundamental idea, backed by recent research, that stress, tension, and trauma is both psychological and physical. TRE® is a set of stretches that activates the body’s natural shaking mechanism, releasing muscular tension and calming down the nervous system, bringing us back to a state of balance. TRE® is designed to be a self-care tool that, once learned, can be used as needed throughout one’s life, continuously supporting and promoting personal health and wholeness. TRE®’s muscular vibrations generally feel pleasant and soothing. After doing TRE®, many people report feelings of peace, lightness and wellbeing. Benefits from consistently practicing TRE® include: reduced anxiety and worry, increased energy, greater resilience to stress, increased feelings of calm, balance and joy, reduced muscle and back pain, relief from chronic medical conditions, and reduced symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Thai Vedic Bodywork

Thai Vedic Bodywork is an intelligent synergy of healing modalities, an integration of Ayurvedic principles and Thai Buddhist therapy. Using the five elements as a map to understand individuality, mindfulness (Vipassana) and loving kindness (Metta), Thai Vedic Bodywork is a moving meditation that focuses on connection, communication and a therapeutic exchange between giver and receiver.

Yoga Therapy

Yoga Therapy integrates traditional yogic concepts and techniques with western medical, spiritual and psychological knowledge. It is a spiritual discipline incorporating the Buddhist principles of mindfulness (Vipassana) and loving kindness (Metta). Through postures, alignment, powerful yogic stretches, breath work and guided meditations, sessions are tailored to your individual needs. Yoga Therapy treats a variety of psychological and somatic dysfunctions, ranging from back problems to emotional distress. Both approaches share an understanding of the human being as an integrated body-mind-soul system, which can function optimally only when there is a state of harmony and balance. The result of a full-body session is often an exciting and powerful mind/body experience, bringing both the recipient and the practitioner to greater states of physical and mental wellbeing.

Connected Breathwork

Connected Breathwork is a continuous breath without pause unifying the inhale with the exhale. When this is applied through an open mouth, the sympathetic nervous system is activated giving us access to past traumas and unfulfilled flight, fight and freeze responses that get locked in the body. If anxiety or other overwhelming responses are already active, we use the Connected Breath through the nose to access and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. When we can meet all of ourselves, our sensations, emotions and feelings with love and curiosity, we have an opportunity for a healthy release of blocked and stagnated energy and an awakening of powerful inner resources and creative life-force energy. The increased movement and oxygenation of the blood is incredibly detoxifying and healing on all levels. Many people feel like a huge weight has been lifted from their bodies and mind, experiencing optimism and positivity, claiming to have clear insights as to where life wants to take them, feel pain free and find peace with what has been previously challenging.

Reiki

Based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us, Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. If one’s life force energy is low then we are more likely to get sick or feel stressed, and if it is high, we have a greater capacity for happiness and health. Administered by ‘laying on hands’, a treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person – body, mind, emotions and spirit – creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and wellbeing.

Pranic Crystal Healing

It assists in repairing our energetic and emotional bodies by using the technology of crystals to cut toxic energetic cords and addictions, heal the aura and chakras, and upgrade your energetic operative system to its optimal state.

Regression Therapy

Regression therapy is a powerful technique for self-discovery and healing. The body stores memories at a cellular level that can manifest as fear, sadness, resentment, grief, anxiety, frustration, confusion, and stress. Through meditation you are guided into a state of hypnosis, enabling us to access all life memories through the subconscious and unconscious mind and go back as far as we need to find the origin of pain, fear or trauma. Once the root of the suffering has been identified, we work with different healing modalities such as breath work, gestalt, colour therapy, aurosoma, catharsis, reiki and meditation, or a combination. This will release emotional, physical and mental baggage that can enable us to fulfill our true potential and dreams, be healthy and happy, and content with who we are and how we relate to others.

Chakra Balancing and Marma Therapy

Marmas are considered the portals or gateways where body, mind, emotions, and soul can be accessed. The seven chakras are the most well known marmas, however, there are actually 108 in total.  Marma therapy focuses upon the portals that are most important to your healing, based upon your Ayurvedic constitution of vata, pitta, or kapha.  Each treatment will start with a pulse diagnostic to determine your doshic balance for an individualised treatment.

Access Bars

The Access Bars are 32 bars of energy that run through and around your head, storing the electromagnetic component of all the beliefs, attitudes, ideas, thoughts, and decisions that you have ever had about anything. There are Bars for healing, body, control, awareness, creativity, power, aging, sex and money, just to name a few. Each belief, attitude, idea, thought, and decision that you have fixed in place solidifies the energy and therefore limits your capacity to be generative in that area. The purpose of a Bars session is to clear those points and to invite you into a state of receiving. Like magic, it is not about how much effort you put in, it is about changing the energy of how you are functioning in life to allow transformation to occur with great ease. By running energy through these bars, the barriers dissipate and you have the space to create something new and wonderful!

It also works on the physical level, clearing blockages, easing tensions, moving the blood and lymph fluid and promoting bowel clearance.
