HOLISTIC COUNSELLING AND REFLEXOLOGY

Holistic Counselling

A holistic counsellor is conscious of clients in their totality; they take an integrative approach to healing the mind by considering physiological and psychological disorders as parts of a greater whole and regard the mind, body and spirit as fundamentally interconnected.
Their work takes them into the multiple dimensions of human experience; the physical, the spiritual and the psychological. Ultimately, they seek to heal by helping their clients to break free from destructive behaviours and enjoy a new and improved state of mental, spiritual and physical health.
The pebbles and boulders that are stopping flow in our lives are beliefs and behaviours that may have helped you in the past, but are no longer true and are not working for you. It’s our job to figure out together what they are, change them and get you unstuck in body, mind and spirit.

Reflexology

Reflexology is based on the principle that all parts of the body are reflected in miniature in reflex zones on the feet, hands, face, head and ears. Reflexology helps to create a deeply relaxing, healthy and harmonious state within the body and activates the client’s natural powers of self healing. Stimulating or sedating a reflex point using specific techniques triggers a response in the corresponding area of the body. Techniques include using alternating pressure, thumb and finger walking, smoothing, hooking in and up, rotation on a reflex and muscle stimulation within the session. Sessions may also include Lymphatic Drainage techniques. Sometimes the body is in a state of ‘imbalance’ following illness or injury, disease or stress and energy pathways are blocked preventing the body from functioning effectively. The use of precision pressure movements allows the whole body to relax and de-stress, restoring and maintaining the body’s natural equilibrium and encouraging healing.

Although my treatments are soothing and restorative, reaching an incredible level of full body relaxation on a cellular level, they are amazingly powerful. I bring an extra dimension to these sessions by engaging my clients to be more present within their own treatments while I stay present, grounded and in a calm, centred state of awareness.

Facial Reflexology

Facial Reflexology is a reflex technique based on neuro-biochemical action resulting from the stimulation of an area or point on the face which has an effect on various other areas of the entire body. Facial Reflexology involves the identification and assessment of the root causes of an illness through Facial Reflex Therapy techniques and a visual analysis. Using these two methods it is possible to identify the cause of imbalance in our body and then based on this assessment, to plan a complete program of stimulation of points, zones, meridians, muscles and plexuses, working on the entire body to bring balance to the natural flow of energy and support the self-healing systems of the body. This technique is often combined with the use of high-quality natural products such as essential oils and creams like Organic Rose Hip Oil, Frankincense and Myrrh.

Ocular Therapy

Ocular Therapy is the use of Facial Reflex Therapy with specific nerve and acupressure points around the eyes. Therapists use individual protocols for specific patterns and medical eye dysfunction conditions. In addition to assessing the condition of the eyes it is important to understand the condition of a person’s overall health. Once a complete health history is taken and a Facial Reflex therapy evaluation has taken place a treatment protocol is designed according to the individual pattern of each patient.

Cosmo Face Reflex Lifting

Cosmo Face Lifting is a Reflexology based beauty treatment for both men and women. It is a natural, painless, relaxing, non-surgical face lifting method that firms and tones the foundation muscles that support the facial structure and dramatically improves the complexion by increasing blood flow and lymphatic drainage. It also naturally increases the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in a firmer younger looking face.

This technique benefits the whole body and improves skin tone by working on the underlying muscle structure, so it is also perfect for any facial muscular dysfunction like paralysis, TMJ problems and Bell’s Palsy. It also has the added bonus of being a wonderful feel-good therapy which is incredibly beneficial as a stress release.

RECONNECTIVE HEALING with KERRIE BALDOCK​

WHAT IS RECONNECTIVE HEALING®? Reconnective Healing is a return to an optimal state of balance, wholeness and vitality. It is a bridge between the perceived limitations we have come to accept in our lives and how life can be when we tap into our actual potential. It’s tangible, measurable… You can actually feel it! 

Reconnective Healing gives you access to an inner awareness with a vibrational resonance that promotes strength, brainpower, wisdom, emotional stability and physical vitality. When you access this spectrum of Energy, Light & Information™, it creates a chain of events that can greatly enhance and improve all aspects of your life — health, career, relationships, abundance… Seemingly unreachable potential becomes reality. 

Recognized and supported by science, including researchers affiliated with institutions such as Harvard, Yale and Stanford, this powerful approach to healing offers you the opportunity to attain lifelong optimal health and balance. It is recommended by leading scientists and endorsed by well known people such as Lynne McTaggart, Dr William Tiller, Deepak Chopra and Dr Wayne Dyer.

Everyone’s experience with Reconnective Healing® is unique. Often healings are reported after just one session, although it is suggested that you receive up to three sessions and then allow your experience to unfold. Healings can come in all forms; physical, mental, spiritual or emotional. The optimal way to allow for a healing is to proceed in a state of expectancy, without specific expectations or attachment to results.

While most individuals are looking for healing on the physical level it is important to understand that Reconnective Healing is so much more – as Dr Pearl says :”There is always a healing and it may come in the form you anticipate… Or it may come in a form you haven’t even dreamed of, one that the universe has designed specifically for you!”

Massage primarily works with the structure of the body by changing the soft tissue directly stimulated and most clothes come off .

​

What can I use Reflexology for?

The effects of reflexology are unique to each person. Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits in the soft tissues and imbalances from touching the feet, hands or ears. Reflexology gently nudges the body toward better functioning by improving lymphatic drainage and venous circulation.

​

How Does Reflexology Work?

The healing art of Reflexology works from the inside out to restore wholeness to the body. Reflexology is believed to work on many levels. Among the theories are:

• Nerve Impulses – Parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system. Reflexology works through the nerve endings to relax and calm the body. Manual pressure applied to the feet or hands stimulate the nerve endings through the neural pathways to the central nervous system and back.

• TCM Meridian Theory (Chi or Ki) – energy pathways are stimulated during Reflexology, helping to clear blockages along these channels.

• Gate Control and Endorphin release – for pain management.

• The intrinsic need for nurturing human touch – to give a sense of overall well-being and improve the quality of life.

• Totally hands-on modality – to connect client and practitioner in the healing space of Now.

​

How Often Should I Have Reflexology?

Frequency of visits depends on the health and wellness goals of the client. Clients with chronic conditions can benefit from bi-weekly or weekly sessions. Usually, the time between visits increases, as the body begins to regain a state of natural balance and vitality and then monthly visits can help keep stress in check, build immunity and maintain good health.
