Chi Nei Tsang Abdominal Massage
A Taoist technique which focuses upon detoxing and stimulating the health of the internal organs and digestive system.
A deep practice of listening through the belly. This touch awakens the organs, clears stagnation, and releases emotional residue stored within.
Each organ carries its own voice, lungs and colon hold grief, kidneys hold fear, liver holds anger. Through the navel, we enter the meridians, the breath, the unseen.
Soft or deep, the work opens the diaphragm, expands breath, and reconnects you with the quiet pulse of your own Being, the remembrance of wholeness beneath all separation.
Supports digestive balance, women’s health, and emotional clarity.
Ideal for providing relief for all types of digestive issues: Gas, bloating, discomfort, constipation, and diarrhoea.
Somatic stress and trauma release session
The body holds our stress and traumas, causing us a higher emotional reactivity, chronic stress, anxiety and sleep issues.
This session activates a tremor mechanism that literally shakes off and releases everyday stress or old layers of trauma without having to talk it out, relive or remember it. Developed for PTSD therapy for the USA army, this simple lying down practice brings deep relaxation, a sense of calm and balance. A powerful therapy which you can also learn to do by yourself for long term benefits.
Best to wear comfortable loose or stretch pants
Ideal for dissipating chronic stress and emotional reactivity
Emotional-body de-armoring session
A combination of deep physical massage, fascia release and energy work on specific problem areas of your body. This session releases negative emotional and mental patterns that are holding tension and pain in the body. Guiding words are spoken to release those patterns, giving insight to the underlying themes.
When we are triggered or closed off emotionally, it’s usually because we have old wounds which we are hyper protective of. This work allows those shadow areas of our psyche to be touched, cellularly heard, honoured and released so we can move forward in life without being bound by reoccurring self–destructive patterns.
Ideal for chronic pain that seems impossible to shift with just physical work
Head, Neck, Jaw and Shoulder massage with sinus cleansing
Releasing tensions in this often-afflicted area of the body, with a variety of speciality techniques, to open the multi-faceted layers of tensions and blockages, so the tissues may return to their natural equilibrium.
We work with the muscles, tendons, fascia, lymph and sinus, and you may choose to include Nasya in which warm oil is gently dropped into the nose to either soothe or cleanse the sinus. In Ayurveda, the sinus’s hold the key to accessing emotional memories so we can release them and breath fully into trusting Life again
Ideal for headaches, migraines, TMJ, sinus, throat and ear issues, memory issues, swollen face or bags under the eyes, stress and of course pain in this upper body area.
