Treatments
I specialise in Craniosacral work. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is one of the most gentle and respectful of the body therapies.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy is a clothes on, sublimely gentle and still therapy in which you will be deeply held so as to gain access to the breath of life, the first tidal expression of our physical body. In this witness state, we are able to feel the subtle movements of the inherent forces which build and maintain our physical, mental/emotional and spiritual being. This is a most respectful practice. Whilst moving with guided hands, we are able to release layers of held contraction, trauma, pain and emotional wounding, allowing these energies to be resourced and reintegrated back into the system as greater energy, enhanced movement and metabolised emotions. It is my absolute pleasure to offer this deeply healing work.
Biodynamic Massage
Biodynamic massage is a combined experience of slow deep soft tissue work with still, resourcing Craniosacral therapy. This combination engages the body’s intelligence to resolve fascial constriction and pain whilst engaging the parasympathetic nervous system to allow deep rest and resolution. I love working this way. It is a deeply nourishing treatment bringing a sense of calm whilst resolving pain.
Physiokey/SCENAR Therapy
The Physiokey/SCENAR technology has been my saviour the past 18 years. As a massage therapist I came kicking and screaming to the use of a device but I have literally seen it work miracles in my practice in helping people deal with acute and chronic pain syndromes. The biofeedback technology works with the body via the autonomic nervous system regulating and increasing the immune system and triggering the body’s own healing systems, flooding the body with pain relieving neuropeptides e.g. endorphins.
This hand held device is felt as a tingling on the skin. and can be combined with massage and Craniosacral therapy to effect great pain relief for a variety of conditions including, general back and neck pain, injury/surgery recovery, neuropathy and many other conditions. It’s most stunning result in my practice was the full return of hearing in the ear of a patient who had lost it in a high speed waterskiing accident 30 years earlier. Subsequently he bought his own device.
People often come to Physiokey after a great search for pain relief elsewhere with varied success. Having used this technology in my practice now for 18 years I can say with confidence that almost everyone has a favourable outcome and often permanent resolution of pain.
SCENAR technology was developed in Russia in the 1970’s for their space programme. It is now used all over the world. Physiokey is German technology which has created a much more user friendly device.
Naturopathy
Naturopathy is the art and science of using natural compounds to treat patterns of experience held as our perception of pain and or imbalance. I like to use herbal medicines as my primary ally, but also employ nutritional supplements and lifestyle advice where needed. I was also trained in Homoeopathy and flower essences. Much of what we find begins in the gut, so this is often the first focus of our conversation. The session will involve a gathering of information about your state of health, energy levels, sleep and specific symptoms. My conversations will always involve your emotional state, relationships and your experience of connection to self and the earth. We will talk at length about your diet, not just of food but also how you digest your lived environment.
I am qualified to practice Naturopathy in Australia only. Zoom sessions are available to Australian clients while I am practicing in Salt Lake City.
