We take a holistic approach, giving consideration to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual factors that affect your health and wellbeing.

Craniosacral Therapy  (CST) assists the healing of trauma from injury, stress in the body-mind, and energetic inertias that disturb the craniosacral system. Over time, these disturbances lock into the body and adversely affect our natural rhythms and wellbeing. There is progressive damage to our health on different levels.

The Craniosacral System consists of the brain, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), membrane system inside the cranium, all 22 cranial bones, the spine and sacrum.

CST  is drawn from 3 principle traditions – osteopathy, energy work and Taoism. It aligns the 3 rhythms of the body. Breath is the most obvious. The Heartbeat is less obvious but still easily felt. The Cranial Wave is the most discreet of the 3 rhythms. It can only be felt in a meditative state. It is a silent, powerful field of energy which flows throughout  the Craniosacral system, giving it vitality and intelligent movement. It also extends in an electrical field beyond the skin’s surface and is referred to in eastern cultures  as “chi”, “ki” or “prana”. The therapist observes without judgment, and tunes in to this subtle  energy field. The ability to do this is called “the heart of listening” in visionary craniosacral work.  read more...

Body-centred Psychotherapy uses the body to access sub-conscious layers of the mind. It is based on the pioneering work of Wilhelm Reich, and developed by my teacher Gerda Boyeson in London. This therapy is based on the understanding that whatever happens in the mind is reflected in the body. For example, if you are mentally anxious, this will be reflected in a restricted breathing pattern and tensions in the chest, jaw and other areas. By using specific exercises to release physical blocks, the corresponding mental issues will also be relieved.  

It is very helpful for emotional issues from childhood, emotional imbalances such as excess anxiety or anger, depression, relationship issues, and generally learning how to connect with the life force in the body. 

By reconnecting with the inner life of the body (feelings, needs, sensations and so on) in  a balanced way, we are able to get to know ourselves on a deeper level. Then sharing and relating to others becomes more meaningful, and we can again feel fully alive and present in each moment.

Holistic Counselling. Using a combination of Rogerian and Mindfullness based counselling methods, these sessions will start by identifying the issues involved. They will allow you to explore, with an experienced counsellor, how to bring healing to the things that disturb your wellbeing, and also how to understand & integrate the needs of body, mind, heart and spirit into your daily life.     

Movement Therapy combines dance with hatha & tantric yogic techniques to release held areas in the body. It provides a powerful way to let you feel more vitality and aliveness, and will help you to re-connect with your body in a very direct manner. No prior experience necessary.

Reiki Individual sessions are to assist and promote healing, inner balance and general wellbeing.

Relationship Counselling is for both couples and singles, to explore all issues concerned with relationships.  There may be a need to work individually (1 to 1) on personal issues, as well as jointly as a couple. You will discover many tools to reach your full potential for sharing with others. 

Restorative Yoga is for those seeking calmness, healing and tranquility. We use Hatha Yoga practices to bring healing to the stresses in the body, and to encourage a state of relaxation and mindfulness. We will focus on recovery from injury or illness, release of mental-emotional stress, and correcting imbalances in immune, endocrine and energy systems. Individual sessions and classes available. 

All sessions are by donation, and are held at our Retreat Centre next to Wat Pra Bat (past Wieng Nur village)
