"Helping you find answers"

Life
can get difficult. Tiredness, stress, anxiety, pain and poor health can become the norm. Past hurts can undermine us, or the present can be so confusing
and difficult that we don't know where to turn. Relationships may be sources of conflict rather than fulfillment. Sex may be frustrating rather than ecstatic.
The demands of work and home can often make us feel squeezed from all sides. Joy disappears from life.
It doesn't have to be that way. Psychotherapeutic deep bodywork is a form of therapy that can help you close the gap between who you are and who you would like to be, between the life you have and the life you want. How can deep bodywork help? Imagine laughing without a voice, grief without tears, nervous butterflies without a stomach... Right here, right now, we are alive in our bodies, experiencing the world in all its joys and pain. Yet sometimes our body can be a stranger to us, or maybe an opponent that we fight against. We may be baffled by its needs or the things it does. It can often seem that our bodies have a mind of their own. Somatic (body) therapists believe that all life experiences are embodied: that your body holds your emotional history just as much as your mind does. The stresses of your life can get locked deep into your muscles, and your behaviour can be determined by that locked-in tension - as though your body were programmed to behave in a certain way, whether or not you want it. This is referred to as "body-armouring." Deep bodywork seeks to unlock patterns of armouring, bring mind and body increasingly into harmony and help people discover a new way of being at one with themselves. » How I can help |
