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. That is your body will communicate, in the best way it knows how, that something is not in alignment. That is most often through pain, hormonal imbalance, gut issues, autoimmune disorders, mood imbalances etc. 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.
