ACUPUNCTURE

Traditional Five Element Chinese Acupuncture has been used safely and effectively for thousands of years. It is a natural way to help re-balance all aspects of our health and well-being. Poor physical and emotional health can often be the result of blockages or imbalances. Acupuncture views emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual well-being as interconnected and seeks to restore balance. It also aims to increase resilience, vitality, emotional regulation and deeper alignment. This ancient system can be particularly supportive for stress, anxiety, burnout, grief, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and a loss of connection to purpose or meaning.

(Acupuncture can often be combined with Transformational Therapy Coaching which works well in combination, as issues and energetic blockages explored in the Coaching can be targeted with the Acupuncture, bringing a deep shift.)

BENEFITS Acupuncture seeks to remedy and re-balance our deeper energetic imbalances. It can also work to alleviate specific health symptoms and often results in subtle experiences of well-being. Increased energy levels as well as greater relaxation may be experienced as consequences of this treatment.

SESSION You will be requested to lie on a therapy couch and some items of clothing may need to be adjusted or removed. Disposable, ultra-fine, sterile acupuncture needles are inserted into specific acupuncture points as needed, just below the surface of the skin. The needles may sometimes cause a slight tingling sensation. After treatment, you may feel very relaxed while the body and mind adjust to a more balanced state. Please wear loose comfortable clothing.

BIODYNAMIC MEDICINE

Biodynamic Medicine® is a 21st-century evolution of the Biodynamic Psychology and Psychotherapy lineage, developed by Mary Molloy and the Institute of Biodynamic Medicine (IOBM). Building on the original work of clinical psychologist Gerda Boyesen, it integrates neuroscience, autonomic regulation, specialised touch, and psychological work to restore balance across the brain–heart–gut system. At its foundation is Psychoperistalsis™ - the gut’s natural mechanism for processing emotional events and clearing the biochemical residues of stress and trauma. It is a comprehensive, gentle, and deeply restorative modality that works with the body’s innate intelligence to bring clarity, resilience, and emotional ease. The full suite of Biodynamic Medicine® protocols has been available at The Arrigo Programme for over four decades.

These have been curated by Founder Fiona Arrigo - a Senior Fellow of the Institute - and delivered under the long-standing clinical direction of Mary Molloy. Together, they have shaped a uniquely refined therapeutic environment known for depth, integrity, and profound restorative outcomes.

BENEFITS Biodynamic Medicine® at The Arrigo Programme is particularly supportive for: chronic stress, burnout, and overwhelm : trauma, emotional shock, and unresolved patterns : anxiety, numbness, and shutdown : digestive–emotional conditions and gut–brain imbalance : inflammatory, stress-related, and autonomic symptoms : modern nervous-system dysregulation.

SESSION Gentle therapeutic methods can vary. For example, you may need to speak, or simply rest and be rejuvenated. Using loudspeaker stethoscope technology and stethoscope massage®, Biodynamic practitioners listen to and support regulatory activity as it happens, bringing the whole system back into coherence. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing.

BREATHWORK

Knowledge of the benefits of breathing comes from the ancient Eastern philosophies. The power of conscious breathing has been used in the East for many centuries. Recently interest and research in this mind-body connection has developed in the West, when researchers discovered that altering the breath pattern can alter mental and emotional states. By changing the depth, rhythm, and rate of our breathing,our chemistry, outlook and attitude can alter. As we make these changes, we alter our perspective to engage a more positive mind-body state to improve our lives. From a physical viewpoint, our breath is our connection to life. Unless we are breathing deeply and fully, our bodies are not getting the oxygen needed for optimal health, yet the solution can be as simple as conscious redirection of the breathing pattern. The pattern can be re-programmed and the breathing muscles re-trained.

From a physical viewpoint, our breath is our connection to life. Unless we are breathing deeply and fully, our bodies are not getting the oxygen needed for optimal health, yet the solution can be as simple as conscious redirection of the breathing pattern. The pattern can be re-programmed and the breathing muscles re-trained.

BENEFITS The breathwork sessions will teach you how to use the breath to calm the nervous system, reshape how your mind responds to daily stress, which will also benefit your sleep. Breathwork can help clear brain fog to achieve better mental focus and boost lung capacity.

SESSION During your session you will be fully clothed and be requested to lie or be seated comfortably on the floor with your practitioner, who will gently help you and guide your breathing. As the body becomes oxygenated you may feel such as tingling in the hands or emotions begin to release. Please wear loose and comfortable clothing.

CRANIO-SACRAL THERAPY

Cranio-Sacral Therapy is a gentle yet profoundly deep form of bodywork that works with the body’s innate intelligence to restore balance, ease tension, and support healing on physical, emotional, and nervous system levels.

Trauma is not only remembered by the mind; it is stored within the tissues, fascia, and nervous system. When experiences are too much, too fast, or too soon, the body adapts by tightening, bracing, or dissociating. Over time, these protective patterns can show up as pain, restriction, fatigue, anxiety, or a sense of disconnection from oneself. Cranio-Sacral Therapy creates a safe, spacious environment where these patterns can be gently felt, met, and released.

By working through the fascia and fluid body, the nervous system is invited out of fight, flight, or freeze and back into regulation. As restrictions soften, the body is able to complete unfinished responses, discharge stored tension, and reorganise itself toward greater ease and coherence. This work supports deep integration - helping the body remember its natural rhythm, resilience, and capacity for self-healing.

BENEFITS The applications of Cranio-Sacral Therapy are very wide, from aches and pains to the most complex chronic or persistent issues. It can also be valuable in helping to resolve intransigent and persistent conditions that have not responded to other forms of treatment. Cranio-Sacral Therapy can enhance and stimulate core health, strength and vitality. You may experience not only physical relief, but a sense of grounding, emotional clarity, and reconnection with yourself.

SESSION This therapy is carried out lying down, fully clothed. Cranio-Sacral Therapy is a quiet, listening practice that honours the body’s timing and wisdom, allowing healing to unfold from the inside out. Using subtle, precise touch, Cranio-Sacral Therapy engages the cranio-sacral system - the membranes, fascia, cerebrospinal fluid, and connective tissues that surround and protect the brain, spinal cord, and entire body. Within this system, the body holds patterns of stress, injury, and trauma, whether from physical impact, emotional overwhelm, illness, or prolonged periods of holding and survival. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing.

EFT : EMOTIONAL FREEDOm TECHNIQUE

EFT, also known as ‘Tapping’, is an alternative therapy that scientifically affects the nervous system by combining acupressure with focused thought to send calming signals to the brain, which lowers stress hormones like cortisol and shifts the body from a ‘fight-or-flight’ state to a ‘rest and digest’ state. EFT can reduce anxiety, depression, PTSD and many other symptoms.

BENEFITS EFT reduces stress, anxiety, improves emotional regulation, releases trauma and can even help with pain relief. It can also help with issues like poor sleep, low self esteem, fears and phobias or food cravings.

SESSION AN EFT treatment can be done face to face or lying down. Certain acupressure points are tapped either by the therapist or the client, depending on whether the client is in person or being seen online. While these specific points are tapped an EFT statement may be repeated, or the therapist may invite the client to simply think about an old traumatic event while tapping the points.

EMBODIED PRACTICE

This practice is for those who want to develop a deeper relationship with their body. It is designed to cultivate connection and trust in the self. It offers an exploratory experience, drawing on the practitioner’s multi-modal qualifications as a somatic bodyworker and educator in The Feldenkrais Method and Compassionate Self Healing.

This creative session involves a series of activities that act as reminder of your sensory intelligence and embodied knowing. Themes such as trust, knowing, confidence, creativity, resilience, will be investigated through movement, drawing, and sensory experiences. The intention is to learn what the body’s signals, signs, and sensations are trying to communicate. How do you know when you like something, or when you dislike something? How do you know when you are overriding your own boundaries?

BENEFITS When someone is depleted and close to burnout, they have been consistently overriding their own boundaries for a long time. Perhaps a lifetime. Developing an embodied practice will help return the person to themselves and help them understand that deep connection with the self is the way out of exhaustion.

SESSION Individual sessions last 3 hours and take place in comfortable, everyday clothes sitting or lying on a wide, low, padded table.

FELDENKRAIS METHOD

The Feldenkrais Method® offers a unique way of making lasting improvements to our lives through the medium of movement. We learn how to move through the world with greater ease, co-ordination, flexibility and grace.

The Feldenkrais Method® is a somatic practice that harnesses mindful attention and gentle movement to heighten awareness of ourselves and our sensations. In doing so we learn from the inside out, making use of our brain’s plasticity – its ability to change for the better at any age.

BENEFITS The Feldenkrais method has the potential to benefit us all in some way. It offers a more fluid, skilful, easy way of moving. It promotes a sense of confidence and wellbeing. With guidance from a trained teacher, Feldenkrais can help with relief and recovery from pain, injuries and neurological issues. It can boost relaxation, resilience, attention and life-long vitality.

SESSION Individual sessions take place in comfortable, everyday clothes sitting or lying on a wide, low, padded table. Using their hands, a teacher will gently guide you through a range of safe, easy movement explorations, designed to bring awareness to parts of yourself that you may not tend to move much. This will encourage you to explore new ways of moving and organising your whole system (mind, brain, muscles and skeleton).

As you sense the new movement patterns, you find your movement options expanded. Many people also find that their thinking and feeling acquires new ease, at the same time as their body.

HUMAN DESIGN INTEGRATION

Human Design is a unique system of self-awareness that creates an individual chart using your birth date, time and place. It synthesises insights from Western Astrology, the I Ching, the Hindu-Brahmin Chakra System, the Kabbalah and contemporary understandings of human energetics and biology to offer a deeply personal map of your innate nature. Many people describe receiving their Human Design chart as one of the first times they have truly felt seen. Rather than placing people into fixed categories, Human Design offers a language for recognising the unique qualities, gifts and ways of engaging with life that have always existed within.

It is particularly valuable for those who find themselves repeating familiar patterns, experiencing burnout, struggling in relationships or feeling disconnected from themselves. Human Design provides a compassionate framework for understanding these patterns while offering practical guidance for making decisions, building relationships and living in greater alignment with your authentic nature to support the integration of its wisdom into everyday life. Tou can begin to make choices that are more aligned with your natural design and experience greater clarity and confidence.

BENEFITS Human Design Integration can support greater self-awareness, self-acceptance and confidence by illuminating your natural strengths, decision-making style, relationship dynamics and life themes. It offers a compassionate understanding of why certain patterns may have developed and how you can begin to move beyond them. Many experience increased clarity, healthier boundaries, improved emotional wellbeing, greater trust in their own inner guidance and a renewed sense of purpose.

SESSION Your journey begins with a comprehensive written Human Design report, individually prepared from your birth information and tailored specifically to your chart. This is followed by an in-depth online consultation where we explore the themes most relevant to your life, relationships, work and current stage of development, allowing time for reflection, questions and practical application. This creates a powerful framework for sustainable personal growth and meaningful change.

IFS : INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS

Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS) places emphasis and value on supporting the relationship between your ‘self’ and the many parts that make up your self. This allows us to more clearly identify the defences and protections that have built up over time as a result of challenging, difficult and traumatic experiences. These defences and protections may be sophisticated and deeply embedded, especially following acute or cumulative stress.

BENEFITS The benefits of IFS include enhanced self-awareness, emotional healing from past traumas, and improved relationships through greater self compassion and empathy. It helps individuals become more resilient, better able to regulate emotions, and develop a sense of inner peace and Self leadership by fostering a harmonious relationship between inner parts.

SESSION IFS is a fully clothed, talking therapeutic session. During the session we will be guided by your protective parts and listen to how they’re responding, both in terms of your mind and your body. Only when you feel safe will we work at unburdening deep and vulnerable parts of your self that have been wounded and become deeply buried.

NERVOUS SYSTEM PSYCHOTHERAPY & INTEGRATIVE COACHING

This integrative approach combines psychotherapy, nervous system regulation, somatic awareness and coaching to support lasting change. This recognises that many emotional, psychological and physical difficulties arise when the nervous system has adapted to prolonged stress, overwhelm, trauma or repeated life experiences.

We explore the patterns that have developed throughout your life and the protective strategies that once served you but may now be limiting your well-being. Sessions gently increase awareness of how your mind, body and nervous system work together, helping you develop greater capacity for regulation, resilience and connection. Drawing from evidence-informed psychotherapy alongside nervous system science, polyvagal theory, attachment theory, mindfulness, breathwork, Transactional Analysis, Internal Family Systems, Human Design and body-based approaches where appropriate, each session is tailored to your individual needs.

BENEFITS Many people experience increased emotional resilience, greater self-awareness, improved regulation of stress, healthier relationships, better sleep and energy, increased confidence in navigating life’s challenges, and a deeper sense of connection with themselves and others. Rather than simply managing symptoms, the intention is to cultivate lasting well-being through a more balanced and regulated nervous system.

SESSION Online sessions are typically 50 minutes long and are responsive to your needs on the day. Depending on what is arising, treatment may include therapeutic conversation, body awareness, nervous system education, breath and regulation practices, mindfulness, exploration of relationship patterns, emotional processing and practical strategies to support everyday life. Sessions may be experienced as reflective, restorative and deeply integrating, supporting greater awareness of both mind and body.

NERVOUS SYSTEM REALIGN

Nervous System Realign has been developed over more than 30 years and draws on both ancient wisdom and modern approaches to nervous system support. At the heart of each personalised session is the Traditional Chinese Medicine Five Element diagnostic system, which helps guide the curation of the practices most relevant to you. These may include Qi Gong, acupressure and specific breath techniques, alongside ancient Yogic breathing practices and mindfulness. More recently developed approaches have brought these ancient practices into conversation with modern understandings of the nervous system. Some of these, including vagal nerve and somatic exercises, may also be incorporated into your bespoke session. By bringing ancient systems of understanding together with modern nervous system practices, Nervous System Realign offers a deeper and more nuanced approach to supporting regulation, balance and connection within the body and mind.

BENEFITS Every person’s experience of nervous system dysregulation is different. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, as each person has their own story, patterns and needs. These personalised sessions offer space for greater peace, balance and a deeper understanding of how your body and mind respond to stress, helping you to recognise what is happening within you and find ways to regulate, readjust and support yourself.

SESSION During the session, you will be guided through a series of simple somatic techniques relevant to your needs. You may be seated, reclined or standing during the session, depending on what is being shown. The techniques may include simple Qi Gong movements, acupressure point location, breathing techniques, mindfulness and vagal nerve exercises. Information will be given about the relevance of each technique during the session. Each session offers a supportive and embodied system of methods to help with nervous system dysregulation, providing tools that can be utilised within your life beyond the programme.

PSYCHOTHERAPY & COACHING

Psychotherapy is a deep enquiry into the mind to explore blockages and resistances which may go back to childhood and beyond. Many clients begin therapy as a response to stuck-ness, sometimes a sense of being lost and, almost always, confusion. True commitment is required but earnest clients will experience a sense of freedom, relief and personal understanding they have not felt before. Symptoms that appear as, for instance, depression may in fact be a spiritual crisis and a search for meaning, often at mid-life, when people experience the need for re-orientation and a new map for living.

BENEFITS Psychotherapy holds great potential for both growth and personal development as well as providing greater insight as to individual purpose. Typically, clients feel lighter over time, less burdened, more capable of making decisions, achieving higher self-esteem. Some go on to spiritual heights if they so choose, others are content with smoother relationships and greater trust in life. Many experience health gains and an inner freedom previously unknown. The benefits of counselling are manifold. Psychotherapy takes clients into deeper areas of the mind into the forgotten past where many of life’s answers lie.

SESSION Treatment will typically begin with an exploration of the presenting problem which may lead into working on the Family of Origin, parenting patterns and the deeper causes of inhibiting beliefs and troublesome feelings. This is a gentle talking therapy with an experienced guide who will help you make the unconscious conscious, providing the courage and strength to move into life once again.

QI GONG

Qi Gong is known as the root of all Chinese Medicine and philosophy. The word ‘Qi‘ can be translated as breath or vibrational force which animates all matter and ‘Gong’ as the practice of cultivating the Qi, to use it for healing in the body to restore health and vitality. The main principles of Qi gong are to create a state of calm ‘relaxed attention’, to bring ease and posture with subtle movements of the body, and enter a place of attunement. The attention is in the Hara, or Tandien (the energetic centre just below the navel), in the soles of the feet connecting with the earth energy, the hands which conduct the flow of Qi, and the breath. Through the soles of the feet we receive energy from the earth that rises through our body to help us to become ‘grounded’. The practice of Qi Gong involves movement as well as holding static positions.

BENEFITS Regular practice of Qi Gong is said to be support health on many levels. It can create a more harmonious flow of ‘qi’ or energy helping the energy in your body flow more freely, unblocking places of pain or discomfort where there is stagnation and inflammation. It is known to reduce anxiety and give better sleep quality: help with physical pain; improve balance and mobility; boost the body’s immune function and cardiovascular health and improve cognitive function.

SESSION In a Qi Gong session you will learn the correct posture, breath and eventually mind state for each posture of a particular form. Your practitioner will guide you in the gentle movements and breathing needed to encourage flow and regulate the nervous system, and the static positions to help build stamina and strength. It can be practiced out doors in natural surroundings. Once your session starts, it is carried out without conversation. Please wear light, loose clothes for your session.

REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is more than just a foot massage; it’s a holistic therapy that offers a wide range of benefits for the body and mind. From stress reduction and pain relief to improved digestion and enhanced overall well-being, the healing effects of reflexology works in a similar way to acupressure and acupuncture, by using the principle that certain points on the feet and hands correspond to different parts of the body. As a holistic practice it treats the body as a whole, not just the isolated symptoms. It addresses the root causes of health issues, helping you achieve balance and harmony in mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach to wellness can lead to a higher quality of life and a greater sense of well-being.

BENEFITS Reflexology induces calm and relieves discomfort, improving energy flow around the body to restore balance, bring about a state of relaxation and help the body’s own natural healing process. This relaxation response not only alleviates stress but also contributes to improved sleep quality and overall mental well-being. Reflexology has also been shown to relieve pain, including headaches, migraines, and other chronic pain conditions. By stimulating specific reflex points associated with pain relief, the body’s natural healing mechanisms are triggered, releasing endorphins and reducing discomfort.

SESSION During your session you will lie on the therapy couch so your practitioner has access to your bare feet. Working with light but firm pressure with thumb and fingers to areas on the feet. By applying targeted pressure to specific reflex points can help release tension and promote a deep sense of calm. Some areas of tenderness may be felt as they are released. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing.

RELATIONAL PSYCHOTHERAPY & COUPLES THERAPY

Relationships have the capacity to be our greatest source of love, belonging and growth, but they can also become places where old wounds, protective patterns and cycles of conflict are activated. Relational Psychotherapy & Couples Therapy recognises that beneath many recurring disagreements are two nervous systems attempting to find safety, connection and understanding.

Drawing on Relational Neurobiology, Transactional Analysis (TA), Internal Family Systems (IFS), nervous system regulation and attachment theory, this approach helps couples understand not only what is happening between them, but why it continues to happen. The interaction between each person’s life experiences, nervous system responses and protective parts are explored, so unconscious patterns that shape relationships can be recognised, and new ways of communicating, repairing conflict and creating emotional safety developed. The aim is not to eliminate differences but to strengthen the relationship’s capacity for connection, resilience and mutual understanding.

BENEFITS This therapy supports couples experiencing communication difficulties, recurring conflict, emotional distance, trust issues, life transitions, parenting challenges, stress, trauma, affairs or a sense of becoming disconnected. Many develop a deeper understanding of themselves and each other, greater emotional regulation, healthier communication, increased empathy, improved conflict resolution and a stronger sense of emotional intimacy. Relationships can become more secure, resilient and fulfilling.

SESSION Sessions are typically 1.5 hours. Treatment may include therapeutic dialogue, nervous system education, body awareness, practical regulation strategies, Transactional Analysis to understand relational dynamics, and Internal Family Systems approaches that help each partner relate to themselves and each other.

NB “couple” does not necessarily mean a romantic couple. This can be siblings, parent to adult child, work colleagues, friends.

Reiki

Reiki is a gentle yet powerful healing practice that supports the body’s natural ability to restore balance and harmony. Originating in Japan, in direct lineage from Mikao Usui, it is based on the idea that a universal life force energy flows through all living things. Reiki is transmitted through the subtle energy field, helping to release energetic blockages and encourage flow within the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of being. Using a light, hands-on touch to channel this energy to help reduce stress, promotes relaxation, and supports the body’s natural healing processes. As a non-invasive and intuitive modality, Reiki can support pain and tension release, relaxation, inner calm, balance, and overall well-being.

BENEFITS Reiki can be helpful for relieving pain, reducing stress, and calming anxiety. It can support emotional balance, ease tension in the body, and promote a greater sense of relaxation and overall well-being. It can be especially helpful during times of fatigue, overwhelm, low mood, or emotional heaviness, as well as when you want to feel more grounded and centred. Reiki can also support better sleep, inner calm and an enhanced connection to yourself. Regular sessions can help maintain energetic balance and promote a sense of resilience and ease.

SESSION During your session, the practitioner will use light hands-on or hands-above-body techniques to channel energy according to your body’s needs. The treatment takes place fully clothed, lying comfortably on a couch. Touch is gentle and still, with hands placed on or just above specific areas of the body. Sessions are typically quiet and meditative, allowing you to drop into a deeply relaxed state. Reiki may also be combined with Active Imagination processing, supporting insight and integration of emotional or symbolic material that may arise during the session. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing.

SHIATSU

Shiatsu is a physical therapeutic bodywork that supports and strengthens the body’s natural ability to heal and balance itself. It works to align the physical body as well as subtly release deeply-rooted trauma and tension in the psychological and emotional aspects of being. It is a diagnostic treatment based on Traditional Chinese Medicine modalities, and as such can address whatever issue that is brought to the treatment, be it physical, emotional, spiritual or mental.

BENEFITS Shiatsu can be used in the treatment of a wide range of internal, musculo-skeletal, and emotional conditions. It can help reduce muscle stiffness, stimulate the skin, aid digestion, and influence the nervous system. Shiatsu is often used to treat a wide range of chronic conditions, such as headaches, PMS, digestive disorders, fatigue, insomnia, fibromyalgia, stress, anxiety, and musculo-skeletal pain, including low back, neck, and joint pain. It is believed to have both preventative and remedial effects. Regular treatments can help alleviate stress and maintain health and well-being.

SESSION During your session the practitioner may use touch, comfortable pressure and gentle kneading, stretching and rocking techniques to move your body. Shiatsu is a non-invasive therapy that is a deeply relaxing experience to overall well-being. Your session takes place on a futon-style mattress on the floor. Once your session starts, it is carried out without talking. Please wear light, loose clothes for your session.

THE JOURNEY

The Journey is a powerful therapeutic process originally developed by internationally acclaimed mind-body healing expert and author Brandon Bays. It is designed to help people access and resolve the deep emotional roots of patterns that may affect their health, relationships, confidence, and overall well-being. Your practitioner combines The Journey with a carefully curated synthesis of complementary therapeutic modalities, including a 7-step Forgiveness Made Easy Process, Ken Wilber’s 3-2-1 Shadow Work, Memory Reconsolidation, Parts Work (IFS), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Havening Techniques. Elements of Cognitive Processing may also be included to help identify and gently challenge long-held beliefs that no longer serve you. This is particularly valuable when working with self-forgiveness, as some of our deepest conclusions about ourselves are formed during emotionally charged experiences and are simply not true.This integrated approach allows each session to be tailored to your individual needs,creating a gentle yet profound process for emotional healing and lasting transformation.

BENEFITS This enhanced Journey process can help bring lasting change by addressing the emotional patterns and limiting beliefs that often lie beneath anxiety, stress, low self-worth, shame, grief, relationship difficulties, and significant life themes and challenges. Many clients experience a greater sense of inner peace, emotional freedom, self-compassion, and clarity following sessions. The experience can be very powerful - as if burdens have been released from the heart, and you may notice a tangible shift afterwards in how you feel about another person or yourself.

SESSION During your session you will sit or recline comfortably while being gently guided through The Journey / Active Imagination process. You will be invited to speak and engage with the guidance given and whatever arises as physical sensations, emotions, imagination, and awareness. This inward-focused approach allows deeper emotional material, memories, beliefs, and inner conflicts to emerge naturally in a safe and compassionate environment.

TRANSFORMATION GAME

The Transformation Game® is a unique experiential coaching process developed at the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland. Originally created as a tool for personal and spiritual growth, in a community setting, it provides a powerful yet enjoyable way to explore a specific life question or area of challenge. Through this guided one-to-one version of this profound board game, you’ll gain deeper awareness of the beliefs, patterns, attitudes and choices that may be shaping your experience, while discovering new perspectives and opportunities for growth. As you progress through the game, the experience invites insight on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels, helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom and align more fully with your authentic values and purpose.

BENEFITS This enhanced Journey process can help bring lasting change by addressing the emotional patterns and limiting beliefs that often lie beneath anxiety, stress, low self-worth, shame, grief, relationship difficulties, and significant life themes and challenges. Many clients experience a greater sense of inner peace, emotional freedom, self-compassion, and clarity following sessions. The experience can be very powerful - as if burdens have been released from the heart, and you may notice a tangible shift afterwards in how you feel about another person or yourself.

SESSION During your session you will sit or recline comfortably while being gently guided through The Journey / Active Imagination process. You will be invited to speak and engage with the guidance given and whatever arises as physical sensations, emotions, imagination, and awareness. This inward-focused approach allows deeper emotional material, memories, beliefs, and inner conflicts to emerge naturally in a safe and compassionate environment.

TRANSFORMATIONAL THERAPY COACHING

Transformational Therapy Coaching (TT) facilitates lasting change by working with the subconscious mind. It identifies and resolves the root of emotional, behavioural and psychological patterns. It accesses deeper layers of awareness, limiting beliefs, unresolved experiences and unconscious programming. (It can frequently be combined with Five Element Acupuncture, as issues and energetic blockages explored in the coaching can be targeted by the acupuncture, bringing a deeper shift).

Transformational Therapy Coaching weaves together therapeutic frameworks:

Hypnotherapy utilises a deeply relaxed state allowing the critical, conscious mind to soften while increasing access to the subconscious. Regression techniques explore life experiences and identify the origin of emotional responses, beliefs, fears, or behavioural patterns, allowing unresolved experiences to be understood, processed, and released.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) this is incorporated to help identify negative thought patterns, limiting beliefs, and self-sabotaging mental habits. Clients learn to recognise unconscious thinking styles and develop healthier, more constructive ways of relating to themselves and life.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming helps understanding how language, perception, and neurological processes interact to create meaning and behaviour. Through reframing techniques, clients develop new perspectives, interrupt outdated patterns, and create more empowering internal narratives.

Breathwork & Nervous System Regulation breathing techniques help regulate the nervous system by stimulating the vagus nerve, activating the parasympathetic nervous system - the body’s “rest and digest” response that creates a greater sense of safety, reduces stress responses, and supports the natural capacity for healing and integration.

Thought Field Therapy (TFT) emotional distress can be linked to disruptions within the body’s energetic system, by gently tapping on specific acupuncture meridian points while focusing on emotional experiences or traumatic memories, a reduction in emotional intensity, increased clarity, and greater emotional stability can be achieved.

SESSION During TT coaching you will be seated comfortably, for acupuncture you will be requested to lie on the therapy couch and some clothing may need to be removed for the insertion of the acupuncture needles. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing.

TRE® & BREATHWORK

TRE® stands for Tension & Trauma Release Exercises. It is a simple yet powerful practice that helps you reconnect with your body and its natural ability to release stress, muscular tension and the residue of overwhelming life experiences. Through a sequence of stretches and exercises it encourages the body to produce neurogenic tremors, natural, involuntary shaking movements that help release deeply held tension from the muscles, fascia and nervous system. As tension is released, your nervous system receives new information that it is safe to move out of protective survival states.

Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) is a deeply therapeutic practice using a continuous, connected breathing pattern, to quieten the thinking and allowing access to deeper layers of awareness, emotion and embodied experience. The emphasis is on nasal breathing and a relaxed exhalation wherever appropriate, helping create a greater sense of safety within the nervous system. Many people find this approach gentler and more accessible than faster mouth-breathing techniques, although other breathing styles may be explored if appropriate for you.

BENEFITS This combined session may help to release chronic muscular tension and protective holding patterns to reduce stress and support nervous system regulation. It can help ease physical discomfort associated with long-held tension and encourage deeper relaxation, better digestion and sleep as well as quieten an over-active mind.. It also provides a simple practice that many people can continue independently at home to support healing, growth and lasting positive change.

SESSION Most sessions begin with TRE®. You will be guided through a simple sequence of stretches and exercises, adapted to suit your body and level of comfort. You will then lie on a comfortable mat in a position that allows the neurogenic tremors to emerge naturally. Breathwork continues seated comfortably on the floor. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing.

YOGA

Contact Yoga is a heart-centred partner yoga practice that has its foundations in the Amrit Hatha Yoga tradition. Each of the counter-balance postures opens a somatic dialogue allowing the recipient to feel stretched and yet safely held. The emphasis for the practice is upon connection and support. Some of the postures are more therapeutic and lean towards yogic massage, whilst others are more dynamic. The practitioner curates the necessary moves and positions according to the clients needs.

Yin yoga is a practice of yoga where each postures is held for between 2-4 minutes. This allows the body to relax and release more deeply. You will be encouraged to use cushions and supports to create the most comfortable position for them in each posture. Working with the Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian system where each posture opens particular meridian energy lines throughout the body, it is deeply rebalancing and healing modality as a stand-alone practice or as part of an integrated protocol.

Somatic Yoga is a gentle, mindful practice that combines slow, intentional movement with deep body awareness. Rather than focusing on achieving specific poses, it encourages you to notice how your body feels from the inside. Through small, repetitive movement, breathing and conscious attention, Somatic Yoga helps improve communication between the brain and the muscles, enabling your nervous system to feel safe to let go of long-held patterns of tension.

BENEFITS Somatic Yoga practice can help reduce chronic muscular tension, increase mobility and flexibility, and ease discomfort. It supports nervous system regulation and relaxation, helping shift the body out of ‘fight or flight’ to a healing rest and digest state. As the practice prioritises self awareness over performance, it can lead to a greater sense of calm and confidence in the body’s natural ability to move with ease.

SESSION A Somatic Yoga session is slow, calming and deeply restorative. Movements are performed gently on mats, with the breath and with awareness. Please wear loose. suitable clothing.
