Meet the Body & Express the Soul​

TRE (Tension & trauma Release Exercises) is a series of seven exercises devised by Dr David Bercelli, to stretch and tire the hip flexor muscles and activate the natural shaking mechanism in the body to release chronic held tension patterns held there. It is a safe and natural process and once learnt the exercises can be done on your own at home or/ and in a group with a TRE provider. For more information on TRE go to www.traumaprvention.com. The first session with me lasts for 2 hours and includes a health questionnaire, subsequent sessions are 90 minutes.

I have developed a therapeutic touch treatment that combines my skill and experience of therapeutic massage and healing techniques. The treatment focuses on holding and touching the body in a gentle and loving way as if you are a baby. You are fully clothed and lying on a futon or treatment couch, it  can be combined with TRE or you can have it as a stand alone treatment. This treatment is especially beneficial to people who were deprived of gentle loving touch as babies and children, receiving it as adults can have a soothing and healing effect on the nervous system and in the being of a person. A treatment can take from 30 minutes to an hour depending on what you need.

Brainspotting is a brain-body based relational therapy. Developed by David Grande it is described in a sentence as "where you look affects how you feel" and "what's in the brain is in the body and what is in the body is in the brain"  The foundation of brainspotting lies in creating an atmosphere of safety and attunement between the therapist and the client.   Brainspots are then identified as a way into working with an activated issue, the therapist follows the client's lead in establishing what is going on in the body sensation and emotionally as the client fixes attention on a spot in their visual field.  The process is able to work on the subcortical layers of the brain, where areas of held trauma can be healed and resolved.
