A weekend of further training...

Another beautiful weekend! This one I didn't spend out in the sun, but at yet another training. I took a closer look at one of my "tools": a refresher in Holistic Pulsing.
The power of Holistic Pulsing lies in its softness. The gentle rocking creates ripples through the body, mobilising all the body fluids. Apart from being deeply relaxing, I found it especially effective in restoring freedom and mobility to the joints.

Going back to what I have already learnt is always a good experience: it deepens my understanding and gives me the opportunity to concentrate on the smaller details. With bodywork, a lot of learning actually happens through receiving. On a full weekend of hands-on training I learn not only to apply a technique, but also how it feels like on my own body. I notice the effect it has, sense what feels good - or not so good. And most of all: how it can feel even better! Often it is just a tiny change, that creates that difference in the quality of touch! And that is what I'm striving for...

Thanks for a great tip...

Queen's Birthday. What have you done today?!?
We as family love a good bush walk - especially on a beautiful day.  Today we went for a walk we haven't done before. Or to be more correct: we didn't know exists. A friend of mine told me about it!!!
It is a very nice walk which follows and crosses a stream several times through beautiful bush, and than opens up to a great view over the Hutt Valley!

Honestly, if it wouldn't be for the tips I get from other people, I would have missed so much: a fair, a good movie, the orcas in the harbour, a nice motel on the way. And probably I would not be with my GP, dentist, optometrist, hair dresser,...
And yes, a lot of my clients come to me, because a friend told them about me!
I personally are really thankful for a good tip. And I like sharing the good things I have discovered.
So here the details for the Rata-Street-Loop track in Naenae.

D.I.Y. back massager (not only) for pregnancy and labour...

21/5/2012

If I would make a statistic about the area I massage most - the back would be the sure winner!
A good back rub is something, noone can resist. And pregnant women even less...
As much as I love to give professional pregnancy massages, I am also a big supporter of D.I.Y.
I found this little video on youtube -  a very simple, cheap and effective way to give a great back massage, even if you have 2 left hands...
One thing I would like to add, which isn't mentioned in the video: avoid direct pressure ON the spine, only work along both sides of it!

Mother's day...

It's the time of the year where we honour this very special person in our life: mum! And being a mum myself, I am even more thankful for all what my mum has given me: endless hours, unconditional love, encouragement, roots to grow and wings to fly... What she has given to me, is now impacting the next generation!
Mother's day shouldn't be the only day to thank our mums. But it certainly is a great opportunity to say "thank you for all your time you choose to spend with me, for all the hugs and stoking my hair, your taking care of my needs - physically and emotionally and just being who you are..."
If you are looking for a present, which resonates with that: how about a massage voucher?
It really fits through all generations: from the mum-to-be to the great-grandmother....

... because, like today, I can grab one of my textbooks ( you can never learn enough! ) and take it to the beach to read. So much better than sitting in the study!
Going down to the beach, watching the waves and the sea birds and getting the feet wet is almost as relaxing as a massage! Well, it definitely is a great way to finish one. That's why I like to recommend my clients to take advantage of my studio's location and go for a walk along the beach  - and maybe head for one of Eastbourne's lovely cafes...

A whole hour for your feet...

7/3/2012

Last week a friend asked me if I do foot massages. And if I would do a full hour of foot massage.The answer was simple: Yes, I do!
I like to work (w)holistically, that's why I usually don't work on one muscle only, but include a whole area or the whole body. But feet are different. Your feet have thousands of nerve endings, which will all be stimulated by a massage. So in a  way I am working the whole body by massaging the feet. That is probably the reason, why almost everyone loves his/her feet massaged ( and I always like to take on the challenge if someone tells me they are too ticklish -my success rate is around 98% !).
Your feet are the ones supporting and carrying you through your life. They bring you ahead, keep you moving. But often they get really badly treated: squeezed into shoes all day long, no air to breath and no room the stretch. And while we tend to put cream on our hands quite regularly, our feet often miss out.
So give your feet a little "thank you" today: A refreshing foot bath, a little squeeze & stretch, and some nice lotion or oil. Than let them breath and walk bare feet. They will love it!
And maybe you want to give them a special treat and book them in for a professional foot massage.
My friend's feet thought it was pure bliss...
