Energy Healer | Meditation Teacher | Manual Therapist |
Pilates & Slings Teacher
As a Holistic Bodyworker, I help you to come home to yourself in the Mind, Heart, Body and Soul. My unique approach combines INHEANITY Energy Healing, Structural Bodywork based in Anatomy Trains, Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation, McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release (MSTR), and Pilates & Slings techniques to address the root causes of pain and discomfort in the body. The sessions are interactive, where I will guide and empower you to take an active role in your own healing process.
Treatment Modalities
INHEANITY Energy Healing
INHEANITY Energy Healing aims to bring harmony to the Mind, Heart, Body and Soul. Under this modality, the main focus is on improving the flow of the three main types of subtle energies within the human body - Qi, Life Force and Prana. This modality is effective in addressing psychosomatic pain where the physical symptoms are manifestations from root causes that lie in the mental, emotional and energetic realms. It is also a great complement to all other forms of manual therapy mentioned below, and is therefore often the foundation of my healing sessions.
​
Structural Bodywork (based in Anatomy Trains)
Structural Bodywork is a revolutionary approach to massage therapy that recognises the interconnectedness of the body's fascial network. By working with the fascia, I can help you to release tension and restrictions throughout the body, therefore improving mobility and reducing pain.
​
Visceral and Neural Manipulation
Visceral Manipulation and Neural Manipulation are gentle yet powerful techniques for addressing internal imbalances and relieving pain. By working with the organs, nerves, and other soft tissues of the body, I can help you to restore optimal function and promote healing.
​
McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release (MSTR)
McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release (MSTR) is an effective way of treating scar tissues, no matter how old the scars may be! Scar tissues tend to create numbness/reduced sensation, chronic pain, tingling/burning sensations and reduced range of movement. Through gentle yet precise touch, MSTR creates long-lasting results in restoring sensitivity, Qi flow, range of motion and overall strength.
​
​Pilates & Slings
Pilates & Slings is a full-body exercise that strengthens the core, improves postural alignment, mobility and flexibility, as well as creates greater awareness of our bodies and movements in daily life. As a certified Polestar Pilates Studio Practitioner, I incorporate movement therapy in my sessions to help clients maintain and/or enhance the results they experience through manual therapy.
My Story
My journey started in 2011 when I met my meditation and energy healing teachers, Cordelia Lee and Kon Ket Sing. I became their student and began training under the INHEANITY Energy Healing programme. I learnt about the different energies that flow within the human body - Qi, Life Force and Prana. I also learnt about the chakras and the aura as well as how they interface with the dantians and the meridians.
Through years of practice, self-healing and guidance by my teachers, I developed a heightened sensitivity to subtle energies within myself, in other people and in the environment. I noticed that for a lot of people, energy blockages tended to arise due to emotional stress, harmful thought patterns and memories of past traumatic events. These energy blockages also manifest themselves as physical ailments, such as back pain, abdominal pain, indigestion, stiff neck and headache.
Motivated to find out how the energy systems are connected to the human body, I started exploring manual therapies that had a direct focus on human anatomy such as:
-
Structural Bodywork (based in Anatomy Trains) - study on the body-wide myofascial system.
-
McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release - study on scars and how they can cause physical pain and affect the flow of energies in the human body.
-
Visceral Manipulation - study on internal organs and their relationship to each other.
-
Neural Manipulation - study on the nervous system and how it relates to the entire body.
Based on my experience, these manual therapy modalities are effective in freeing up restrictions in the Body. However, when complemented with INHEANITY Energy Healing, the effects are much deeper and can last longer. This is because INHEANITY Energy Healing helps to release unaddressed root causes of psychosomatic pain that lie in the mental, emotional and energetic realm.
For example, I often have lower left abdominal pain that would disappear immediately after receiving manual therapy from a therapist. However, the pain would return within a few days. Upon self-reflection, I realised that I store a lot of guilt, shame and self-blame in my lower left abdomen. As I worked on healing these emotions through counselling and meditation, I noticed that the tension in that region eased on its own. I also noticed that the effects of the treatment from my therapist would last longer.
I have come to realise that the Mind, Heart, Body and Soul are aspects of a human being that cannot be separated. This is why I decided to be a Holistic Bodyworker - to promote integration of the Mind, Heart, Body and Soul through manual therapy that is complemented by energy healing.
