SESSION

ORIENTATION

Our first session will allow for a diagnostic approach

• checking in as to how your body is feeling and what you may need from our work together

• supported complete breathing with biofeedback

• basic stretching exercises to open the body

• introducing the pain scale of 1-5 and practicing finding ‘the edge’ for effective tension release

• developing FELT SENSE - the ability to connect with and speak out from a non-conceptual, bodily-felt experience rather than reporting from the mind

FURTHER SESSIONS INCLUDE A BLEND OF THE FOLLOWING AS NEEDED​

AREAS OF SPECIAL ATTENTION​

FEET & LEGS

Your connection to the earth, your grounding

Here you can build the roots needed to trust in yourself, in order to let go of that which no longer serves you.

Treatment on these areas can relieve:

• plantar fasciitis

• knee pain

• back pain through postural misalignment

CLEARING THE COLUMN : NECK, SHOULDERS & SPINE

Delving into the connection between the head and the body

Opening the channel to come down into the sensations of the physical rather than being stuck in the mind

A deep tissue massage of the neck and shoulders will allow energy flow from the spine to the brain - connecting you to the sensations of the body. 

This will be followed with a Reichian spinal massage, uncovering any held emotions and tensions along the muscles either side of the spinal column.

Reminding these to move will allow you to let go of the old and make way for a flow of vitality within your bodies energetic system. 

Treatment on these areas can relieve:

• back pain

• neck pain

• hip pain

• sore shoulders

  It is possible to assist in integrating changes in your overall character structure over time by working regularly with Reichian Spinal Work alongside professional therapeutic support.

FACE, CRANIUM, NECK & ARMS

Areas that can hold a lot in regards to fear/anger/shock and control

I work with trauma sensitive techniques allowing plenty of space and time to feel into the touch and guide the pressure to your needs.

Treatment on these sensitive areas can relieve:

• tension headaches & migraine

• jaw pain (TMJ)

• stiff neck

• repetitive strain injury

Massaging the jaw through the inside of the mouth releases tension from the face.

​PELVIC EXPANSION : SACRUM, COCCYX, HIPS & PELVIS

Often left out of traditional massage treatments, this release of the pelvic girdle is key to finding your flow in life

Working around the sacrum and coccyx before releasing the Iliopsoas using touch into the abdomen, along the underside of the hip bones and down to the ridge of the pubic bone.

Treatment on these areas can relieve:

• sacral and lower back pain

• pelvic pain and soreness

• period pain and menstrual issues

EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION

These sessions can be adapted to respectfully include specific emotional release bodywork in the case of a theme you wish to work with.

This may be of benefit if you are looking tor a lovingly held space in which to explore and experience your grief - whether at the loss of a loved one or more generally around the theme of loss in your life and the pain it can bring.

Anger issues can also be brought more into consciousness through bodywork and bioenergetic exercises to embody and express your aggression and frustration.

Providing sufficient space and holding for our emotions to be fully felt and celebrated allows transmutation to take place.
