Gentle Release Therapy

Gentle Release Therapy draws upon the fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is a supportive treatment giving permission to the body to release and let go.

A powerful, yet gentle, hands-on therapy to help your body and mind release tension and stress.

Gentle release therapy is an extremely gentle process that could almost be considered a mixture of Energy Healing, Acupressure, Shiatsu and Acupuncture (without the needles), which combined with additional techniques such as Cranial Release and Hormone Rebalance, creates a synergy that allows the body to release and restore. It is a wonderfully relaxing treatment that fully respects and supports the mind, emotion and body connection.

I use Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Theory to understand what’s going on in the body. I concentrate on the key organs linked to and important in TCM such as the liver, spleen, kidneys, heart, uterus and intestines helping to bring them into balance. The liver for example is a key organ in TCM it helps the flow of qi (energy) around the body, the liver is linked to ligaments and tendons, so muscular tension may well be connected to the liver. The emotions connected to the liver are anger and frustration so by working this organ we are helping to release the emotional and physical aspect of this imbalance.

Gentle Release Therapy uses techniques to support and release not only the liver energy but also the other key organs in TCM. We also have extremely gentle emotional release techniques that we can use if there is a particular issue that is causing you stress.
​
In addition to the TCM work with the abdominal organs I also incorporate cranial release regularly into treatments which involves an extremely light touch which can allow the body to release on another level. I may also use endocrine (hormone system) balancing and lymph drainage techniques that may be incorporated as required. All treatments are tailored to deal with what your own body needs to release at that moment in time.
​
After a treatment you will often feel lighter, in both the head and abdomen, and very often be so relaxed you may want to go and take a much-needed nap, or you could feel very energised. How you respond depends on what is going on for you.

Gentle Release helps allow your own body to flow back into balance. It’s not what we do to our bodies as such, it is your body allowing the release, we are just giving the time and space for that to happen.
