About Us
What We Do
We help people who struggle with pain, health problems and stress to achieve optimum health and wellbeing. Yoga empowers people to take charge of their own health and learn tools they can implement themselves. Craniosacral Therapy enables people to resolve past trauma and restore good health. And massage feels good!
Our Philosophy
Each body is completely unique, hugely complex, extremely intelligent, and nobody knows yours as well as you do. Our role is to help guide you onto a pathway where you can find your own optimal alignment, heal yourself and maintain good health and wellbeing. This way you are equipped to deal with life’s challenges and constant changes, and are not dependent on going to a specialist or therapist to be “fixed”.
Our Goals
Our first goal as your therapist or yoga teacher, is to listen to what your needs are and what you would like to get out of your time with us. Our second goal is to have you walk out the door with your needs met!!!
Our key goal that we carry through all our work, is to connect people to health in their body and strengthen their relationship to health. We also like to role model having a strong relationship with our own health.
Our Methods
Yoga – In order to maintain your optimal alignment through all your daily jobs and activities, you need to form a strong perception of what good alignment feels like, so you know when you are in it. That is why we practice yoga. The more we practice this and the stronger our awareness becomes, the more good alignment becomes second nature and we maintain it subconsciously.
Craniosacral Therapy – Re-programme the nervous system to orient towards health and break old pain pathways. It’s like hitting the “reset” button, so your whole body can re-organise in a healthy, painfree way. See the Craniosacral Therapy page for more details.
Massage – offers the body a chance to break down facscial adhesions (knots) in the muscles which may be causing pain and discomfort and creating compensatory patterns in the connective tissue body.
