Body-centred therapy combines Manual therapy, Functional Integration and Intuitive listening. Together, we meet accident, injury, condition, pain, loss, transition and curiosity.
Body-centred therapy
- Manual therapy observes function and is attuned to somatic structures.
- Functional Integration attends pain and tension through observation of postural patterns, differentiated movement, and fascial congruency.
- Intuitive listening attends physical, emotional and cognitive sensations.
This is an intuitive approach with an intention that honours what is happening within the body in that moment, as well as any influences present from other relevant moments. Through integration of the present and other thoughtfulnesses, we embody more of the full nature and posture of our being.
Our habits hold us in postures, states, patterns of thinking that interfere with our natural state of being.
I bring education and experience to the conversation; education and experience that exists both within and outside of ordinary sensory experience. I offer impartial logic and have a feeling for what is true. My hands on approach is a deep cellular listening, attuned to somatic structures, and where we physiologically track breath, postural habits, emotional and physical holding patterns, accessing neurological-emotional states and holding these experiences. Being in two places at the same time, here and now, also walking alongside the other experiences presenting in the tissues.
Body-centred therapy
Manual therapy and Functional Integration are two ways of listening into the physical pain/injury/posture. Each allow for mechanical cohesion and postural/fascial integration and differentiation. Our approach meets how the situation presents.
Functional Integration
Functional Integration is an intuitive manual Feldenkrais technique; slow movement that directs our attention to unconscious postural holding patterns, allows for differentiation, fascial support and self direction for a neurologically reoriented experience of the self in relation to our environment. Our internal and external experience is available to our understanding and alterable by ourselves through our knowledge. With this inner knowledge, there is capacity and freedom to choose. Essential thinking occurs within movement.
Manual Therapy / Massage
Manual Therapy techniques are hands on, combined Osteopathic methods, informed by massage, and attend visceral vascular, cranio sacral, neural, fascial congruency and bone articulation.
