NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming Have you wondered why we do what we do? How we think? How we learn? Why we get angry, especially with those who mean so much to us? Neuro Linguistic Programming will help you open up choices, enhance communication and relationships. NLP is practical, about your experience, what it is and not what it should be. It enriches your own view of the world. Modelling in NLP addresses brilliance and quality. NLP is not just a set of techniques, it is a way of thinking, a frame of mind based on curiosity, exploration and fun. In order to model, NLP starts with curiosity and fascination connected with people and studies the structure of subjective experience. NLP can be used personally and professionally in any field. The techniques and resources that you already have within you will become heightened with increased awareness, allowing you to balance the different parts of yourself that can be taken to all areas of your life.

Practitioner: Linda Bagaini Reflexology Reflexology is the technique of applying gentle pressure to the reflexes on the feet or hands in order to bring about a state of deep relaxation, stimulate the body's own healing processes and help the person to return to a state of balance and wellbeing. Systems in the body can easily be thrown out of balance by a wide variety of factors including prolonged illness, stress, long working hours and diet. The resulting imbalances prevent efficiency of vital body functions. These imbalances can be detected on the feet, where corresponding parts of the body can be identified, and pressure applied to specific reflexes to restore the body to a state of equilibrium. Practitioner: Romana Le Page ReikiReiki is a Japanese holistic, light-touch, energy-based modality. Working as a support mechanism to the body, Reiki re-establishes a normal energy flow of ki (life force energy) throughout the system, which in turn can enhance and accelerate the body's innate healing ability. Through a series of hand positions either directly on or just above the body, the energy worker allows for the flow of energy through their body. The client’s body then draws off the amount of energy that is required.The simplicity of a Reiki session may raise some skepticism, however, after experiencing it, many clients keep coming back for more of those relaxing feelings. Practitioner: Jacquie Lloyd Sports Massage Sports Massage is a form of massage typically used before, during, and after athletic events. The purpose of the massage is to prepare the athlete for peak performance, to drain away fatigue, to relieve swelling, to reduce muscle tension, to promote flexibility and to prevent injuries. It is intended to help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity. Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, massage can break them down quickly and effectively. Sports massage can help prevent those injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement, whether a person is an athlete or a once a week jogger. Sports and therapeutic massage is especially recommended for acute and chronic sports injuries and a range of lingering conditions, including:

Stress Management Many people feel overwhelmed by stress and don't know where to begin in leading healthier lives. Too often, stress affects health and leads to unhealthy behaviours and a downward spiral of more and more stress. Stress management can show you how to feel better right now, and give you a clear path to a healthier lifestyle. Practitioner: Linda Bagaini Practitioner: Jacquie Lloyd Practitioner: Gill Abrahams Thought Field Therapy When we think of a particular problem (such as a specific fear) we generate an individual thought field in much the same way as an electrical field is generated around an item of electrical equipment. According to Dr. Callahan’s theory, emotional problems are generated by equally specific interference patterns in these thought fields, which he describes as “perturbations”. These perturbations have been found to be the generating power behind the emotional (and occasionally, physical) signs and symptoms recognised by conventional medicine. Most existing therapies simply attempt to subdue those symptoms with varying degrees of success, or teach the patient coping skills. Whatever the outcome of such treatments the perturbations in the Thought Field (the cause of the problem in the first place) still remain. In order to remove the perturbations completely, and therefore the problem itself, one must apply a code that nature has provided. Practitioner: Available by Arrangement Traditional Chinese MedicineTraditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete system of healing that developed in China about 3,000 years ago and has changed very little over the centuries. It's based on the idea that laws of nature can be used to understand the inner workings of the body.Your health, like the universe at large, is subject to constant battling between opposing forces such as heat and cold, male and female, joy and sadness, which manifest themselves in your body as too much or too little activity in particular organs. An imbalance between any of these forces can cause a blockage in the flow of your qi (chee) or vital energy travelling through your body along invisible pathways known as meridians. TCM practitioners typically use acupuncture and herbs to help unblock your qi and bring your body back into harmony and wellness. Practitioner: Adam Leighton |
