HOLISTIC PRACTICE
PHILOSOPHY
The body inherently wishes to experience wellbeing and appreciates freedom from structural patterns that restrict movement. After many years of working as a massage therapist, aromatherapist and childbirth educator I trained under the Rolf Institute, whose dynamic and inspirational work promotes the idea that myofascial release can allow for a greater sense of ease, freedom from pain, and provide a deeper relationship with our individual journey through life. We live in gravity, and how wonderful it is when gravity is working for us. Decades later this core work remains true. The essential recipe of ten sessions is the core framework of my treatments. With a diverse background and subsequent learning opportunities I offer an approach that is holistic, and sensitive to what will provide integration and organization for each individual, taking into consideration their overall needs
"When you touch one thing with deep awareness,
you touch everything."

About The Sessions
Dr Ida Rolf pioneered this work at a time when there was little interest in facia, and myofascial manipulation. More recently, this has become a significant area of research, and has stimulated various forms of “deep tissue” work.
The standard form involves a series of 10 sessions, each of which addresses a specific aspect of work which leads towards
integration, and overall wellbeing.
To learn whether this work will suit your needs, book a session and experience for yourself the benefits of lengthening,
releasing, and organising the practical functioning of the moving body.
Ideally three sessions, no more than two weeks apart would be best as the three sessions address the superficial fascial
sleeve of the whole body.
Through years of working with people, I have cultivated a deep listening and appreciation for each person's individual journey, and compassion for the struggles and challenges that we face as human beings.
