Rachel holds extensive experience in a number of modalities
Supporting mental health and trauma
Our society and culture often perpetuate a self belief that we are broken or a part of us needs fixing. My approach supports you to understand why your nervous system is reacts or responds in certain ways and how your adaptive coping skills came to be. Building awareness through kindness and compassion, counselling and kinesiology techniques assist your nervous system to settle so that you can begin to rewire new patterns and helpful coping skills. This work is all about safety, learning to feel safe in your body and feeling safe to hear the wisdom within you.
kinesiology
Kinesiology is an incredible modality that assists you in clearing stress from all levels of your being to bring you back into balance- emotionally, physically and energetically. We work together, with your body as the guide, to explore stress across the conscious, subconscious and unconscious layers. What we experience in the physical or emotional realms can often be linked to metaphysical imbalances. Your body communicates, in the best way it knows how that something is not in alignment. Most often that communication presents as pain, hormonal imbalance, gut issues, autoimmune disorders, mood imbalances or illness. Kinesiology allows us to locate, understand and clear the stress that is being communicated through these imbalances so that your body can access it’s innate healing abilities.
counselling
Counselling provides support, understanding and insights into daily life situations, exploring the issues, while working together, planning actions steps and rewiring thought patterns in a safe and relaxed environment. Using wisdom from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Poly vagal theory, mindfulness and somatic practices to assist you to develop skills to settle your nervous system in your daily life.
COUNSELLING KINESIOLOGY
Talk therapy alone isn’t for everyone. For many people it can feel like the mind gets stuck in loops and talking only goes so far. Sometimes we feel like we can’t find the words to describe what is going on for us. And sometimes we feel like we have rehashed the problem so many times, we simply don’t want to talk about in anymore. Combining Kinesiology with Counselling allows you to go deeper, to move through the loops, beliefs and patterns that are creating blocks and stress and allow the body to do the talking. Combining both modalities means that we tailor each session to match what you are most needing at each visit to support you to move from stressed and disconnected to aligned, confident and reconnected to your inner wisdom.
Human design
Human Design is a self-discovery system that guides how your energy naturally wants to express in the world. Human Design encourages you to experiment with your energy expression, where you are expressing authentically and where you are carrying conditioning from others that is holding you back. Discover your type, strategy, authority, profile, definition and openness with a Human Design Reading. Combine Human Design with Kinesiology to allow you to discover and clear energetic stress related to specific aspects of your design and expression.
