WHAT ARE

Complementary Therapies

Complementary Therapy Sessions

Ill-patterns in our movement may call us to re-set our body. When we are in pain, busy-ness, drive, protection, exhaustion, carrying a load on our shoulders, or we get triggered easily in our moods and emotional reactions, well-being treatments can support us to release the energetic factors that have fed into these patterns in life. 

When we feel anxiety, stress, nervous energy, make poor lifestyle choices, or we struggle with switching off our thoughts to support our quality of sleep at night, we may seek to re-set a sense of harmony and settlement in our bodies.

Shirley-Ann Walter with a Patient

There are a range of well-being treatments that can offer settlement, a feeling of deep rest in the body that you may not have felt before. Clients often fall asleep during these sessions and awaken to a re-balanced and refreshed feeling again. Others find it supportive to talk through what may be observed in the body as it settles. 

Everyone is unique and the sessions are tailor-made to suit you, please ask for details.

Face Massage

When we focus on facial massage and similar treatments, this can be a deeply settling and powerful way to bring ease and surrender - because our whole body is reflected in and can be accessed in our face. 

With or without creams as you choose, the different areas of the face allow the release of deeply held emotions and tension which impact on all aspects of our lives, health, and vitality.  

Well-being massage can also be focussed on specific areas such as the back, neck & shoulders, calf muscles, arms, tummy for digestion, or feet. 

Connective Tissue Therapies

The connective tissue joins everything together, it forms the building blocks of every structure and transmits signals or messages around our body.

We can work with this delicate structure in the whole body, fully clothed under warm blankets, laying face-up or face-down, with a variety of hands-on gentle treatment approaches.

 

With hands-still, or with delicate tiny movements that release energetic blocks held within the myo-fascial connective tissue matrix.

 

Whether caused by pain, drive, protection, exhaustion, over-load, or from when we get triggered easily in our moods and emotional reactions, these well-being treatments can support us to release the energetic factors for which we​ may seek to a sense of harmony and settlement in our bodies.
