Esalen Massage
The tradition of Esalen Massage combines many elements and traditions of massage, including Shiatsu, Swedish, Thai, and Feldenkraus. It is a full body massage and works on the basis that the body is whole. I treat both the healthy parts so that they stay healthy and the poorly parts so that they can become vibrant and well. It is the most thorough type of body work I have come across and clients always comment on how extraordinarily well and deeply relaxed they feel afterwards – like coming home again.
It is being cared for, being held, being seen as you are, without judgement.
Treatment ranges from gentle to deep tissue massage, involving passive movement of the limbs which greatly increases the release in muscles and ligaments. I specialize in treating physical, emotional, mental and energetic blockages through deep relaxation.
A session always includes a discussion before and after massage – and sometimes during it if appropriate – and usually lasts 90 minutes. When it is beneficial, I am able to weave other traditions into the experience, drawing from Mantra, Sound Healing, Singing Bowls, Reiki, Meditation and Yoga.
Just as everyone is different, so every massage is unique. Even when there are particular ailments the body is treated as whole, the idea being that the well parts get stronger and support the weaker parts.
No matter what your condition, Esalen massage is an experience like no other.
Reiki
Reiki can be a hands on or hands off healing experience; it works equally as potently both online or in person. It originates from Japan and uses universal energy to bring the client into a healthy state, both mentally, physically and emotionally, by restoring the energetic field of the body. Reiki can be experienced for the pure joy of the experience and it also has excellent success with stress reduction, anxiety, insomnia, ill health, grief, fatigue and general ill health.
Integrated Yoga Therapy
Integrated Yoga Therapy (IYT) uses the techniques of yoga – asana-postures, pranayama-breathing, relaxation and meditation – to develop balance within a system.
Where there is balance there is harmony. I also call upon the techniques of Mindfulness and Sound Healing to further remove that which is keeping you from optimum and peaceful living. During these sessions we discuss and find the root causes to the obstacles in your path. We design a unique programme for you and a clear journey towards obtaining health, clarity, connection and purpose.
Shamanic Energy Medicine
The Extraction Process
Extraction pulls out unwanted energies or entities in our LEF. Our LEF is the software that informs our DNA hardware on what to create – illness or health. When our LEF is cleared of past traumas and unwanted energies, we change the story written for us by culture and family genetics.
The illumination process
Illumination clears our Luminous Energy Field (LEF) of any imprints (such as those for disease) so we can heal from the traumas of the past. Thus, our past, our culture, our society, our parents, our wounds – our stories up until this point – no longer define us, and we become the authors of our own destiny. When we let go of our personal history, we begin to understand that we are energetic beings on a timeless journey. We have lived countless lives, and will live infinite more.
The Soul Retrieval process
The soul retrieval process helps you to recover an essential part of the soul, lost to trauma, enabling you to live your life as an empowered being.
Resetting the fight or flight mode of survival
After a traumatic event, many humans become stuck in the fight or flight mode, and can be stuck for the rest of their lives. When our fight or flight mode kicks in and we begin to make decisions in this survival state, we create dangerous situations for ourselves, and reinforce the idea that our world is not safe for us. While animals will innately reset their fight or flight mode, humans do not, because they cannot. However, when we look towards energy medicine, we see that shamans have discovered a way to reset our fight or flight mode of survival. This resetting is known as the decoupling process.
In western theology we are taught that we only live one life, and when we die, all we ever were is gone and forgotten. Shamanic teachings say that the soul is on an infinite journey through infinity, beyond death. Once we realise we are beings on a never-ending journey, we can break free from the fear of death, and work with our energy field to change the blueprint that organises our physical and emotional lives.
Energy informs the soul; Souls informs the mind; Mind informs the body.
These imprints will also be passed down to the LEF of our descendants. However, we can erase these imprints! This may shed some light on why the illumination technique is so important. The illumination process cleanses our LEF of these imprints, so we can heal from the traumas of the past. Thus, our past, our culture, our society, our parents, our wounds- our stories – up until this point no longer define us, and we become the authors of our own destiny. When we let go of our personal history, we begin to understand that we are energetic beings on a timeless journey. We have lived countless lives, and will live infinite more.
Our Luminous Energy Field (LEF) contains the information and instructions on how our human body is built, as well how our emotions, actions and behaviours will manifest. We also know that each individual LEF has existed, and will exist infinitely. We know that our LEF connects us to each and every being, and the energetic field of the earth itself. Now, we know how unresolved psychological, physical, or spiritual traumas can leave imprints in our LEF. If not confronted, these imprints will manifest in toxic ways- as illness or disease, consistent bad behaviours and decisions, constant negative emotions, and being stuck in fight or flight mode.
