I was in Italy recently doing part of my course in Being Me Therapy and I'm now offering sessions in this brilliant Trauma Therapy work! I'm so excited, 2 years into my 3 year training (not all in Italy, I wish!).
Being Me Therapy is incredible work on the ways we adapted to our family and to life when we were very young. And on the ways these patterns still show up in our adult lives. Maybe you can imagine how being a people-pleaser was getting in the way of me running my business and believing in myself..... or feeling like I had to do everything myself and nobody would ever really be there if I needed support left me feeling drained.
It's talk-based work and we can do it online so if hands-on bodywork isn't your thing, or if you love the idea of working on your own patterns with your slippers on of an evening, let's chat.
I've just sent out an email to my client list about this and if you'd like to be added and to read it, message me with your email address and I'll send it to you. In fact, I'm doing a little series of them so you can read them all.
And see if you'd like to work on all the ways you inadvertently self-sabotage or find it difficult to feel you belong or think you have nothing of any worth to offer or where fear of rejection is keeping you somewhere that's not great. Bring that stuff or anywhere you feel stuck, stressed and we can explore it together and see what beautiful and alive part of You wants to be uncovered and come back to Being More You.

It's 10 years this month since I learned Kinetic Chain Release with the incredible Hugh Gilbert - look at the life beaming out of this guy!!

Not all pain is physical. When I went to Livingston for that first course it was a month after my Mum's funeral. I was in bits, tearful and struggling being away from my family so soon after it all. KCR did something for me I still struggle to put into words - it didn't change the grief but it somehow gave me the capacity to hold it, hold myself in it. I felt like it sort of brought me back to life with a sense of space and peace that has never left me since. Hard to explain but I've seen it in so many clients' eyes over the last 10 years and if you've felt it after a KCR session, you know what I mean. Some kind of KCR magic that returns us to a very deep sense of being.

You don't need to have something physical wrong with you to have a KCR session, you really don't. So if you're struggling, I'm here. KCR allows you space to release a LOT of tension from your body, at your own pace, and I'll work with you just as you are. You'll Feel Different.

I've also never forgotton the support and love on the courses - another trainee had lost her Mum around the same time as me and I've never forgotten that connection. I'm forever grateful to Hugh Gilbert and Jane Wardlaw and all our Ohana, thank you, thank you, thank you ###

Let's celebrate the uniqueness and the impeccable lineage of KCR and the man that made it all possible Hugh Gilbert.

I've had 3 people this week with similiar patterns of tension, very different ages and lives, all feeling sore in different places. They were all really happy to leave feeling so much straighter and no longer in pain.

Is it as relaxing as a Massage? .....sometimes, not always!
Is it deeply effective at reaching parts Massage just doesn't? ...... Yep!
Does the impact of a session help keep you free and comfortable to do what you really want to do? ...... Yes!
Does it help keep tight bits from getting worse and affecting other parts of your body? ...... Yeah.
Is it worth it? Will I have hands-on work for an hour that meets what my body needs and space to let the muscles ease out in their own time, rather than being forced, so that it's really working With my body? ......Yes!!..... so if you want to book in, email me at janetstherapies@yahoo.com or send me a wee message here!

Of course we're all unique - it's so good to feel everything all straightened out again!

Are you struggling to sleep well? It has a big impact on life and I've chatted to many people over the years about what gets in the way.
Clients have found these helpful:

* Indian Head Massage for when your mind is overly active at night.
* Kinetic Chain Release if back pain or sore hips are interrupting your sleep.
* Deep Tissue Massage if your shoulders feel they're up around your ears.
* Reiki if you need to regain your sense of deep peace.

Different things work for each person so chat to me and let's see what might be good for you! Quality of sleep = quality of awake time too.

Mass & Chat?! MASSAGE & Chat!
I'm not a 'conveyer belt' therapist, I like to give you time to ease into the session and very often, that involves a bit of chat before we get started. It's not necessary and you're very welcome not to but it's my way of making sure you are comfortable in the lovely room, you have time to ease out of the busyness of your week, we have time to chat about what you need and what you'd like from your time with me.

We might get onto talking about all sorts of things, like how your sore back is making you feel more stressed, how your journey with grief is feeling just now, how a relationship is bothering you, what flowers are growing in your garden, where to find good Thai curry paste (all true!).

Coming for a massage, you need to feel comfortable and safe with the person who's working with you. When you do, you can really relax. And the more you relax, the deeper your muscles relax. And that will let you get the most from your appointment, get what your sore back really needs.

Book now, come and take your time.
