My Background

COURSES IN COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE AND  NATURAL HEALING

• Bach Flower Remedies  
  Bach flower remedies are dilutions of flower material developed by Edward Bach. The Bach Flower Remedies are 38 plant and flower based remedies, each one specially devised to treat a different feeling. The remedies are used primarily for emotional conditions, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, insomnia and stress. The course was facilitated by Dr. Laura Nordling.
• Aura-Soma Colour Therapy – Level 1 & 2
  Aura-Soma is a holistic colour centered healing therapy developed in 1983 by Vicky Wall that utilizes dual-coloured Equilibrium bottles to bring an individual the knowledge necessary to fulfill one’s life purpose. This course was taught by Melissi Jolly.
• Aura Soma Colour Therapy – Level 3
  The aim of the Level 3 Advanced course was threefold. Firstly, to explore the language of colour through the sequence of the Master bottles. Secondly, to foster further awareness of Consultation skills, observation skills and listening skills – this course was an important opportunity to support practitioners wishing to work more fully with the public. Thirdly to develop the correspondences between the Aura-Soma Colour System and the Tree of Life. Each Equilibrium bottle presents an aspect of the structure of Creation, and this part of the course really opens a whole new level of possibility into the Aura-Soma system.
• Biochemic Tissue Salts
  Dr. Wilhelm H. Schussler of Oldenburg, Germany, worked over three decades during the 19th century, 1872 to 1898, discovering the 12 tissue salts. Tissue salts do not act by directly supplying the deficiency, but act homeopathically and therefore creatively, by restoring the body’s ability to assimilate and utilize the deficient salts. The remedy will treat the cause of the disease. Tissue salts create, nourish and preserve every organ, tissue and cell of the body.  This workshop was conducted by Natura.
• Raw foods to Heal the body and Mind
  Plagued for many years by ill health, Mary-Ann Shearer embarked on a personal quest for a common sense approach to health and well being. Her intensive into nutrition and lifestyle led her to develop a simple yet highly developed programme that develops high levels of health and vitality.
• Natura – A natural way of life
  Course conducted on Homoeopathic medicine and intensive product training.  Natura offers a wide variety of homeopathic treatment products that are safe, gentle and deep healing. These products are suited for the treatment of a variety of common conditions, illnesses and injuries. Homeopathic medicine is widely acknowledged to treat the cause rather than just the symptoms of disease and is one of the safest forms of treatment available.
• Introduction to CranioSacral Therapy
  CranioSacral Therapy works by helping the body’s natural healing mechanisms dissipate the negative effects of stress on the central nervous system. This is accomplished by utilizing a physiological body system called the craniosacral system, which maintains the environment in which the central nervous system functions. It consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord, extending from the bones of the skull, face and mouth (which make up the cranium) down to the tailbone area (or sacrum). The role of this system in the development and performance of the brain and spinal cord is so vital that an imbalance or dysfunction in it can cause sensory, motor and/or neurological disabilities.
• Healing with Crystals
  This course was facilitated by Ingrid Richert. A method of healing with the use of crystals placed on or around the body is called Crystal Healing. Since the earliest times, crystals have been used to heal and restore balance. They help in releasing and clearing negative energy, thereby assisting in energy healing. Each crystal has a unique vibrational resonance. They owe their unique qualities to their mineral content, their inherent geometry and the colour frequency they emit. The human body has a complex electromagnetic system, also known as a vibrational energy system. Nature has created crystals to be perfect electromagnetic conductors, capable of interacting with our electromagnetic system. Crystals have been found to carry a vibration that activates certain energy centers within our electromagnetic system, thus having a positive effect on our entire body systems.
• The Biology of Belief
  I attended this workshop in Sedona, Arizona in the USA.  This informative and self-empowering presentation on the nature of the mind-body interaction emphasizes how our learned perceptions control our health, heredity and behavior. Dr. Lipton examined the principles of quantum physics and how they might be integrated into his understanding of the cell’s information processing systems. He produced breakthrough studies on the cell membrane, which revealed that this outer layer of the cell was an organic homologue of a computer chip, the cell’s equivalent of a brain.
• Resonance Repatterning
  Resonance Repatterning (RR) formerly known as Holographic Repatterning® is based on quantum physics and is a process to help you clear the beliefs, behaviors and negative emotions that create a limitation in your life.  Much of what holds you back comes from subconscious patterns, or programming, that took place early in life.  These subconscious patterns create static or interference that prevent you from having the happiness, abundance, and fulfillment in work, love and health that you desire.  These patterns are not yet in our conscious awareness yet have a major impact on our life, so repatterning first works by bringing the patterns into consciousness so they can be addressed.  Founder of Resonance Repatterning is Chloe Faith Wordsworth.
• Transforming Primary Patterns
  During this seminar we learnt that the primary pattern that controls our life is our own mind. Our thoughts create our reality. We learnt five Repatterning protocols that enable us to resonate with empowering thoughts;  about the five categories of Life Needs that are essential for life;  expanded our repertoire of Modalities. These were Repatternings for resonating with positive thinking, which in turn creates life-enhancing cascades of neurotransmitters that support a heightened sense of well-being in yourself and your relationships. The Self-Healing Modalities taught at this seminar included the safety energy locks of Jin Shin Jyutsu® physio-philosophy, the self-healing use of tuning forks,  Katsugen, and the Resonance Repatterning Energy Constriction Release.  This seminar was taught by Lori Forsyth from New Zealand. 
• Transforming Unconscious Patterns
  This seminar teaches early protection-safety responses to what felt threatening, which continue to keep you stuck in constriction, and prevent your expansive growth and the fulfillment that you want for yourself and those you love. Confidence and skill in using the coherence muscle check and the resonance muscle check increase with practice. The Repatternings to release inappropriate constriction responses that are no longer needed in the present included the Limbic Brain Repatterning, the Breath for Life Repatterning – release unconscious resonance patterns concerning any life-depleting breathing experience, particularly the first breath after birth and constricted breathing from shock and trauma.  The Earlier Experience Repatterning Release resonance with needs that were not met in the womb and childhood, which set your limiting life patterns in motion.  The Parental Repatterning Allow yourself to resonate with the higher learning your parents hold for you, no matter what your past experience was; The Compensation Repatterning and the  Integration for Growth Repatterning. Self-Healing Modalities taught to input coherent energy to the body-mind system included; The Quantum Healing Codes for vibrational sound healing; The use of the colour torch (flashlight) for self-healing; Cranial contacts for core balance; and the Hanna Somatic Movements to release habitual stress responses stored in the physical body and spine. This seminar was facilitated by Shady Sirotkin
• Transforming Chakra Patterns
  This seminar introduced the Ayurvedic chakra system and its seven major concentrated reservoirs of energy that impact your body, your emotional responses, your thoughts and your life attitude.  It teaches one to balance dissonant energy patterns associated with each Chakra, for personal growth, improved health and relationships and for resolving your problems.  The Modalities that harmonize each chakra taught at the seminar included; The Resonance Repatterning Fusion Process;  The Heart Entrainment for deeper intimacy and bonding; Chakra movements; How to use the  Colour Glasses to absorb specific light frequencies; An introduction to essential oils for the chakras; Ayurvedic chakra sounds; Polarity Energy Contacts to balance each of the chakra energies.  This seminar was facilitated by Chloe Faith Wordsworth.
• Transforming Five Element And Meridian Patterns
  In this seminar introduced the Chinese Five Element and Meridian system of natural healing. The five-thousand-year old system of Chinese Acupuncture balances the natural flow of energy to enable you to maintain harmony, optimal health, constructive thinking, emotional well-being and longevity. In the Five Element and Meridian seminar, we learnt the attributes of each acupuncture Element and Meridian and how to balance the meridians and strengthen the flow of chi life energy. This seminar was taught by Lori Forsyth.
• Principles of Relationships
  Principles of Relationship is an advanced seminar and was taken in the USA. Principles of Relationship seminar covers fourteen Repatternings and includes process work on relationship issues through demonstrations and the participants’ practice of the Repatternings with each other.  The seminar was taught by Chloe Faith Wordsworth.
• A New Vision
  A New Vision seminar may only be taken after attending the Principles of Relationship seminar. This advanced seminar introduced the three principles of light, movement and memory images, which transform how we see on all levels. The Principle of Light is a law that describes how we absorb and radiate light, or photons. Light provides the primary nutrient for the brain, eyes and whole body. When you experience unresolved tension, shock and trauma, your eye muscles constrict, which distorts how your eyes take in light. As a result, your entire system is deprived of light energy. The seminar was taught by Chloe Faith Wordsworth.
• Energetics of Relationship
  In this advanced seminar, taken in the USA, we learnt ways that support deep self-healing from shock and trauma, and Repatternings that energetically support successful long-term bonded relationship. The Energetics seminar introduced the four components of an electric circuit, which mirror your human bio-electric system. These components can be used to identify both dissonant patterns and self-regulatory solutions for a bonded relationship. The seminar was taught by Chloe Faith Wordsworth.
• Holding the Healing Space Seminar
  Holding the healing space is central in our development as Practitioners and as human beings. In holding the healing space for another, we have confidence in a certain set of known skills that allows us to enter into the unknown places with another. We then  use the safety created in our relationship with the client as a primary catalyst for their healing.   This seminar teacher –  Shady Sirotkin.
