This treatment is a culmination of Jodie's experience in complementary medicine and her own personal experiences navigating the mental heath system.    

Her touch and intuitive skills are finely tuned after 3 decades of experience in bodywork. Jodie also helps you to bridge the gap between treating a symptom and accepting that medical intervention often needs to be accepted whilst educating you about choices which are the only long term way to address the cause of pain - be it physical or in the body-mind. 

From "The Body Keeps Score":

“Traumatized people chronically feel unsafe inside their bodies: The past is alive in the form of gnawing interior discomfort. Their bodies are constantly bombarded by visceral warning signs, and, in an attempt to control these processes, they often become expert at ignoring their gut feelings and in numbing awareness of what is played out inside. They learn to hide from their selves.” (p.97)”
― Bessel A. van der Kolk.

On the flip side, many patients can become hyper vigilant and rather than ignoring the messages from the body, become overly preoccupied with past trauma or unresolved grief and/or illness. Even just a visit to the supermarket can trigger a stress response that is then perceived as physical pain. This response is often outside of our conscience control.

This treatment may utilise breathing and movement techniques to support the body & nervous system including vibration and sound therapy as well as posture and acture education.  Jodie is one of Australia's most experienced Yoga teachers fusing traditional methods with evidence based techniques.

Excellent for PTSD & anxiety disorders as an adjunct to psychotherapy or an alternative where talk based therapy has failed or physiological desensitisation is required as a form of exposure therapy.
