‘The cognitive process of combining fragmented sensory inputs (visual, auditory, spatial, temporal) into a unified, coherent and meaningful representation of objects or events.’
Perceptual Integration listens to:
- the physical body and how it interacts with its environment (postural, mechanical and energetic)
- the experience of our environment, walking alongside, both within and without
- emotional and cognitive experiencing
- visual and auditory experiencing
Perceptual Integration combines Intuitive knowing with Somatic listening, Manual therapy and Functional Integration. The intention to be more fully present within and available to new experience of self, postural cohesion and physical well being.
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. Intuitive listening, knowing and feeling guide an experiencing of the physical, spiritual and emotional selves. Physical touch witnesses tension, holding pattern, and held experience. Through integration we embody more of the full nature and posture of our being.
We listen together and meet the session as is appropriate to the situation; we meet the situation as it presents. You and I are partners, working together with the intention to understand more deeply into the authentic experience.
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.
Intuitive
Knowing is an understanding that exists within the expansion of the unknown. I work with intuitive knowing, listening, seeing, feeling and extra sensory experiencing into the physical, emotional and spiritual being. Together, we navigate experience with the intention of self knowing, a self knowing that expresses itself in a manner unique to the individual and exists within all dimensions of what is seeking to be understood and revealed.
Within every experience there is past and future, and within is a present of unfolding experience and new understanding. We are a bridge, we hold a light for what presents in the etheric field, and attend to a soul listening and higher consciousness.
Functional Integration and Manual therapy are two ways of bringing deeper listening into the physical body that allow for mechanical cohesion alongside physical integration.
Functional Integration
Functional Integration is a manual Feldenkrais technique; slow movement that directs our attention to unconscious postural holding patterns, allows for differentiation 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, it is new, in that it is relevant within the context, emotion and will of what is happening now.
Manual Therapy / Massage
Manual Therapy techniques are combined Osteopathic methods through Barral and Upledger Institute. My hands on approach is a deep cellular listening, attuned to somatic structures: attention to visceral vascular, cranio sacral, neural, fascial congruency and bone articulation.
