Holistic Services

Some people are especially sensitive; they feel things acutely, are able to pick up other people’s emotions, and sometimes struggle with the amount of stimuli that they perceive. It can happen that those feelings, thoughts and sensations become overwhelming and we don't know how to cope. 

A holistic session can then be very supportive.
 
A session may focus on mindfulness and observing what sensations happen in the body. It may involve looking at the images that come up when you think about something and it may be that we look at the energy that you can perceive.
 
A holistic session may involve all the ‘normal’ strategies but is additionally supported by active imagery work and (when appropriate and agreed upon with the parents or the adult) hands-on energy healing. 

Energy Healing

Energy healing can be a safe and effective support for many life issues and diseases. The basis for energy healing comes from the belief that the world is made up of energy and that by changing this energy through hands-on healing, there can be a great relief of physical, emotional and spiritual suffering. 
 
We each hold our energy in our body and in our energy field in a unique way. For instance, we may have met people who feel very "big" - the moment they walk into a room you know they are there. Or maybe we have encountered people who feel very rigid - they don't seem to bend to anything. Holding our energy in a specific pattern comes from our personality, our body blueprint, and any difficulties we may have encountered over the years. Holding our energy the way we do, can work for us, but often the energy is held too tightly and this can lead to discomfort or disease: we have physical complaints, we don't feel emotionally well or we feel disconnected from a bigger, purposeful world. Energy healing can help with these issues through laying on of hands and changing the energy patterns that are so familiar to us. 
 
Receiving Energy Healing:
We will start with setting a goal for the healing session(s). We will look at the issues that are presented, and discuss any relevant medical diagnoses and support already received. 

​You are then invited to lie fully clothed on the healing table, and to relax and close your eyes. During the healing you can ask me any questions and I may ask you to observe your experiences during the healing and share if appropriate. At other times you may wish to just relax and perhaps fall asleep. 
 
After the healing you can relax on the table to allow you to integrate the healing. A brief conversation in which we share our observations rounds off the healing session. 
 
Session(s)
How many times you come depends on you and your healing goals. Sometimes one healing can address the issue.  Often a healing journey will look at long established patterns and an average of 6-8 sessions will offer the chance to look at all aspects of the problem. 
 
Tackling the issues
Healing can be effective for many physical, emotional, mental and spiritual issues. I have helped with areas ranging from broken bones, fertility, post-birth trauma, sports-injuries, to grief, depression, childhood trauma, anxiety, and coping with family issues. 
 
Children & Healing
A healing session with children may be quite different. It may not always be appropriate for a child to be on a healing table and so the healing can be done during play or while talking with the child. In addition, it is usually recommended that the parent(s) are present during some or all of the healing sessions. 
 
Distance Healing
With the right intention, energetic connections can be made between people anywhere in the world. Thus energy healing at a distance can be an efficient alternative when hands-on healing is not possible. A session would consist of a telephone/Skype discussion to identify the goals of the healing, and then a period of relaxation in a safe and quiet place. After the healing we will have an opportunity to discuss the experience.

Imagery

We usually experience our world through our left brain, analysing, observing, and making rational decisions. However, there is another important part of us, often ignored and undervalued. Our right brain tells of our subconscious, our intuition, our body sensations, our images, and our dreams. The two always co-exist but we are trained to focus only on the 'rational' side.
 
What if you could dive into the right side or your brain, the subconscious, and see what is there, and how it influences our perceptions of the world and who you are? What if we could change it and therefore clean up old subconscious beliefs and thinking patterns, allowing new images, beliefs and futures to emerge? Through the use of imagery and dream work we can do just that. 
 
There is considerable research that concludes that images influence our immune, cardiovascular, and nervous systems. Imagery work is extensively and successfully used by athletes when preparing for a top performance. 
 
Below are listed some IMAGERY TECHNIQUES:
 
Guided Imagery
In guided imagery, short exercises are conducted by the healer. You are invited to consider the images that come up in response to the exercises and to consider the message or challenges that may come out of them. Through correcting or creating your own inner landscape, you are able to journey on your own road of transformation. 
 
Waking Dream
Waking dreams occur while the dreamer is fully conscious and alert. A question or situation may be presented and then explored through moving in the world of dreams and images that lie hidden.
 
Dream Opening
Dream Opening is when a night dream has been written down and is shared with the healer. The healer "opens" up the dream by looking at the story, the patterns and the messages the dream may have. This is done through the healers own responses and associations. You are then invited to comment on the opening and consider the implications. 
 
 
An Imagery Session:
 
In an imagery session, all of the above techniques can be used depending on the issue at stake. In addition, imagery practices may be proposed for homework. A session takes about one hour and can be done in person or through Skype.
