victoria – Still Waters Massage and Wellness

I see my role as a practitioner of wellness as one of support. I will never ‘fix’ anyone or take the reins away from a client and tell them what they need regardless of their own wishes. This does not mean I am not confident in what I do, but it creates a client-therapist relationship based on mutual respect rather than one that is unbalanced where only one person holds the power and authority.

I believe a healers’ job is to support a client every step of the way, to offer options and support their choices.

A person is more than a mass of muscle, skin and bone. The mind stimulates the release of hormones, which shape the body and the emotions and I believe this all needs to be taken into account when working with someone. For this reason I am always working to learn new techniques that can help further the integration of all parts of a person so that they may feel more whole and in-touch with themselves so that in the future they can free themselves from pain and discomfort.

I invite you to come see me if you have been trying to deal with chronic issues, be they muscle tension, digestion or any general imbalance that keeps eluding you. Let’s work together.

Have a good look at the stretches in this picture and I would encourage you to get into the practice of using them in your daily life. Each of the stretches corresponds to one of the major meridian (or energy highway) systems of the body. If you are feeling particularly imbalanced in one of the meridians, I recommend doing the related stretch a few times in your day to encourage flow and movement in that part of your body and that region of your life. To learn more about the meridians and their associations have a look below. If you need help figuring this all out give me a call or an email, I love talking about this stuff (and working with it too).

If you do the full series of stretches, you are essentially opening all of your meridians for optimal flow in your life and considering it only takes about 5 minutes, that’s probably the fastest and cheapest way to optimal health. I recommend doing them once in the morning and again before bed, but how ever you can incorporate them will benefit you.
