Natural Therapies

Natural therapies can be used to either compliment counselling or as an independent holistic approach to well-being. Kathy is qualified in a number of natural therapies as detailed below:

EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE (EFT)

EFT is a simple and gentle technique to release blockages in your energy system and bring the mind body and spirit into balance. EFT is a form of psychological acupressure, in which the individual taps on the same energy meridians that are used in traditional acupuncture using fingertips instead of needles.  EFT works on treating physical and emotional ailments.  Clients are guided through a process of tapping onto specific meridians while they repeat a dialogue relevant to their issue. The combination of tapping the energy meridians and repeating a mantra assists the client to clear the emotional block from their body’s bio-energy system thus restoring the mind and body equilibrium.

EFT can assist adults, teenagers and children.

Some of the areas where EFT can assist are:

  • Anxiety
  • Anger
  • Depression
  • Fears
  • Feeling stuck in life
  • Frustration
  • Grief
  • Low self esteem
  • Phobias
  • Stress

EMOTIONAL TRANSFORMATION (EMO TRANCE)

Emo Trance is an alternative medicine method based on the theory that by focussing the mind on the corresponding physical sensations, negative emotions can be alleviated.
Emo Trance does not use Acupuncture points like EFT. Emo Trance works directly with the kinaesthetic feedback from the client. Emo Trance has nothing to do with hypnosis, and the individual does not enter a trance state. Emo Trance works on transforming the blockages in the energy body.  The method is very simple and once you have mastered the technique it can be used anywhere at any time.

Emo Trance is a beneficial technique for adults, teenagers and children.

Some of the areas where Emotional Transformation (Emo Trance) can assist are:

  • Stress
  • Fear
  • Panic attacks
  • Resolve emotional trauma
  • Confidence
  • Anxiety
  • PTSD
  • Improve energy and well-being
  • Relationship problems

INNER CHILD THERAPY – Wounded Child/Wonder Child

Inner child work is very different from counselling or talk therapy. The strategies used in Inner child work allow the areas that have gone unhealed and unheard within the individual to be finally healed even after years of feeling sad, abandoned, unloved or lonely. The journey allows the individual to be free from self defeating behaviours and the negative narrative that may continuously run in a loop in the mind. The results are quite amazing even after a few sessions. The inner pain and old wounds can finally be fully healed and the individual can listen with openness and learn to trust their intuition, not impacted by the difficulties from their childhood.

MEDITATION

Meditation produces a clearing of the mind in ways that promote a sense of calm and heightened awareness.  Meditation can wipe away the stress of the day and bring about inner peace. The benefits of meditation continue long after you finish meditating.  If stress has you anxious, tense and worried consider meditating regularly. Meditation is considered to be the best type of mind- body complementary medicine. Meditation produces a deep state of relaxation and a tranquil mind and in many cases can be more restorative than sleep.

Types of Meditation:

Concentrating on the breath – consciously noticing the movement of air in and out of your nostrils or counting your breaths in various ways

Grounding and mindfulness – being aware of inner experiences such as feelings, thoughts, and memories and simply observing them without judgement.

Emptying your mind – allowing your mind to clear and float gently pushing aside any stray thoughts or allowing thoughts to float in and out of awareness

Looking at an object – focusing your attention, but not necessarily your thoughts on the shape, sound and texture of an object such as a tree, a candle flame, or an image

Using a mantra – repeating a word or phrase over and over, either aloud or silently, sometimes timing with the breath, to focus your attention and brighten your consciousness.

There are literally 100s of benefits from Meditation. Here are just a few listed below:

  • Lowers high blood pressure
