Through informed touch, a practitioner assists the body's natural state of repair. This work stems from Osteopathy and has a rich basis in anatomy, it is gentle and non-manipulative. Clients have reported finding it particularly useful for balancing the central nervous system and our 'fight or flight' response which is aggravated in many of us, due to the stresses of our 21st century lives. The client remains fully clothed, lying on their back as the practitioner cradles certain parts of the body, depending on what their system requires - it could be the ankles, the head, the sacrum/tailbone. Through informed touch, the practitioner is able to facilitate changes in their client's system. These changes are paced at the priority of the client, rather than a 'here's where you're broken, I'm going to fix you' mentality. The practitioner listens to the whole, so often changes are global - even though you've come in with a knee issue, the hip and shoulder and perhaps the cranial base might have had to make adjustments before the knee can really release. Empowerment and a renegotiation with their own health occurs, which can express itself in a variety of ways from sleeping, to shaking, to deep relaxation and bliss. The system is held in a non-judgemental, neutral way. As it really appreciates this type of contact, shifts are often occurring in many parts of the body simultaneously or in quick succession. The body is given the opportunity to release what it no longer needs to carry. Testimonials: "I am 29 weeks pregnant and have been having some strong pelvic pain and sleepless nights. I saw Liz and had THE BEST sleep in weeks! No pain waking me up, I hardly moved all night either! No tossing and turning! I feel more relaxed and am sure my blood pressure has reduced too!! Thank you Liz!" - Kate Anderson, Wellington (Taken from video – directly after a treatment:) "I’ve just come to see Liz because I’m recovering from my 7th concussion. It just happened two weeks ago, when I was hit on the head. I came to see Liz last year a couple of times when I was recovering from my 6th one and it helped massively. I’ve come to see her straight away after this injury, and I feel very relaxed! Very at one with my body, which I haven’t felt for the last couple of weeks, so I’m really excited to see how the next few days feel and come back and see her soon. I definitely recommend coming and seeing Liz if you’ve got any injury that you’re trying to overcome, it’s a really good therapy, quite different to your traditional Western Medicine, but definitely worth a go, so give it a go! (Thumbs up)." - Ally Naylor, Wellington "A powerful and profound way to transition through old ways of feeling/thinking and into new ways of being. Liz you are beautiful and I am grateful for your work." - Chantal Cropp, New Plymouth "I started working with Liz in the aftermath of a significant health issue, and she has been the turning point for my recovery :) Our first session was nothing short of amazing!" - Stephanie Lay, Wellington
