Rest and Release
Finding that space of relaxation and rest where you're almost asleep, but not.
The modern life is hectic.
It is immediate responses, fast turnarounds, noise, lights, worrying about the past and the future all at once.
In these sessions, we help you find a state of rest. After all, it is only with rest that we can have the energy to do again.

What's in a session?
The focus of these sessions is on regulating your nervous system. What that means is finding ease, comfort, safety and a sense of peace in your body and mind. These sessions do not focus on resolving any pain or injuries you might have, though might help with that.
Part of building a resilient body and nervous system is learning how to down-regulate and knowing what a down-regulated state feels like, these sessions help you with that.
Sessions consist of:
-
Understanding how you are feeling and sensing your body when you arrive
-
Hands-on therapy (a mixture of touch therapies depending on what suits your body for that day)
-
Breathing
-
Somatic therapy techniques
-
Mindful body awareness and mapping
-
Imagery and visualisation
-
Other release techniques with tools that are gentle
-
Giving you things you can implement in your life
