ALCHEMICAL TOUCH
ALCHEMICAL TOUCH

ALCHEMY (from Arabic: al-kīmiyā)

a power or process that transforms in a mysterious way

the hermetic science and art of causing change, both physically and spiritually

Alchemical Touch is a form of holistic trauma release work which affects the physical, emotional and energetic levels of your being

Sessions suit anyone curious to get into deeper contact with themselves, but are particularly relevant to those of us suffering:

  • regular physical shutdown + freeze

  • pain and soreness

  • emotional imbalances

  • feeling out of touch with life and wishing to experience more aliveness within

I provide a held space with focused intent to enable you to connect with yourself and delve into those places held tight

Expand into a more fluid, flexible and energized self through deep release somatic work

PRINCIPLES OF ALCHEMICAL TOUCH TRAUMA RELEASE WORK

Strengthen the mind-body connection and incarnate fully into your physical form as you get back ‘in touch’ with yourself and expand into a feeling of grounded energetic vitality

  • You can experience this work either online through Somatic Experiencing and self-touch where appropriate,

    or in-person with a mix of Somatic Experiencing and De-Armouring Bodywork

  • You are in charge of the session and guide me as to how deep you would like to go while we look for the threshold of gentle release

  • As you bring your awareness into corners of the body that have become dark or 'dusty' from lack of connection I will guide you to take a deep breathe and visualize expanding life into tissues once more - a type of physical and energetic spring cleaning!

  • Making sensitive contact with areas of chronic pain in this way allows the possibility of gradual release

  • Understand sustained muscle tensions as a form of energetic and physical protection and be curious and open to any messages around your psychological patterns that may await you in your body, ready to enter into your awareness

  • Trauma on all levels can create unresolved emotional issues. E-motions (or 'energies in motion') may become 'held' by the subconscious in areas of the body. As energies are released from tense tissue, it can be that you experience an emotional release. If so, I hold a respectful and compassionate space and am there to support you as you need

  • With this work, we go very slowly and mindfully, building up resources to be able to contain larger amounts of charge from past traumatic experiences ready to be processed and re-negotiated in this present moment

  • 'Holding on' takes up a lot of our life force on a daily basis. Free yourself from the survival mechanisms of past realities and any accompanying rigidity within tough tissues as we look for the safety to surrender to a feeling of aliveness in the body - with the ability to allow the full spectrum of life experience encompassing pleasure, pain, joy and sorrow
