Welcome to The Healthy Essence
|
The primary focus of The Healthy Essence is on delivering you the means of keeping the essence of your being happy, healthy, strong and balanced. We provide coaching sessions as well as treatments that support your body, mind and spirit in its natural drive towards constant rebalancing and re-instating the body's health and vitality.
We do this by offering treatments from an individual discipline - Craniosacral Therapy, Reiki or Massage, or a unique combination of physical and energy bodywork customised for you. We also love sharing encouragement, good news and helpful information throughout our caring community of like-minded people - and we donate to good causes regularly on behalf of that community.

The Magic of Head and Neck Unwinding
To those who have never received a craniosacral treatment, the term "unwinding"of the neck and the head will probably sound really strange and possibly even painful. It is a term used to refer to gentle manual work in which the weight of the head is fully supported by the therapist's hands. The hands gently cradle the base and the back of the head, acting like a sling. In this way, any movement in the neck is completely weightless, allowing full freedom and flow which would otherwise not be possible.
The unwinding process can be performed on any part of the body - frequently on restricted shoulder, hip or knee joints with reduced mobility, but it can also be applied on individual organs. However, it has been my experience that the site most likely needing this form of deep work is at the base of the skull. The weight of the head is here supported by the first few vertebras and the amplitude of frequent movements is rather extensive to allow us to freely observe our environment. This puts considerable strain on the supporting structures.....Read More...

Health & Healing – Nutrition Questions
Would you agree that the right nutrition is one of the key aspects of health and healing? Do you feel confident that you know what constitutes a healthy diet? Do you follow it? How easy do you find it? Do you cook and do you enjoy it? Do you have time for it?
In our upcoming complimentary health and healing lunchtime event, we will talk about various aspects that play an important role in our overall well-being - one of them will be nutrition.
Over the years, I have experimented with a number of approaches, from mixed diet to vegetarian, vegan, fruitarian, juicing and fasting, paleo and macrobiotic to gluten and dairy free, specific carbohydrate diet, raw diet, blood-type diet, no diet.....Read More...

What is "The Breath of Life"?
At the centre of our being is the natural, universal life force which is present in, and permeates all living matter. We refer to it as the vitality or the life itself. In craniosacral work, it is also known as "the breath of life". The breath of life is the expression of life itself, which manifests through constant movement and change within and around the physical body that we identify ourselves with.
It is present in all the tissues, from the deepest, softest tissues and organs located strategically for protection in the centre of the body, through the more condensed and strong supportive structures of our musculo-skeletal system, through to the connective tissues, the surface of our skin and beyond. It is also present in all the fluids that bathe and circulate around our vital structures. It doesn't stop there, it resonates further, enveloping our bodies with the infinite matrix which engages with all other matrices present in the entire universe....Read More...
