Hi there! My name is Georgia, I am a qualified Acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner, a certified Spinal Flow practitioner, Reiki practitioner and Pilates instructor.
I found my love for holistic health at a young age. After graduating high school, I began my studies in Acupuncture and TCM and pursued a career as a Mat Pilates instructor. Throughout my studies, my interest in learning about alternative healing modalities grew. My curiosity led me to discover the power of Spinal Flow Technique and Universal Healing (Reiki) – two modalities that work to help bring ease, flow and balance to the body both physically and energetically.
I believe that the body’s physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual bodies are all interconnected and play a role in one’s overall well-being. When approaching healing, it is important to consider all of the aspects that influence one’s health.
For example, emotions, stress and trauma are stored in the physical body – the body keeps score. When trauma is stored in the body it creates blockages which may then manifest as physical pain or other ailments. In this example, treatments must be focused on releasing these blockages and restoring flow by balancing the mind, body and spirit through a multifaceted approach. My treatment approach aims to provide an integration of Acupuncture, TCM, Spinal Flow Technique and Reiki to address the root cause of dis-ease and optimise well-being.
Below I have outlined brief descriptions of Acupuncture, TCM, Spinal Flow Technique and Reiki/Universal Healing and how they may help in restoring balance to the body.
Acupuncture and TCM
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles or ‘pins’ along the body’s energy pathways – known as meridians. This clears energy blockages and encourages the flow of energy (otherwise known as Qi) throughout the body to create balance.
The needling of acupuncture points stimulates the cardiovascular system and the nervous system. By stimulating these systems through acupuncture, we influence the flow of Blood and Oxygen around the body (or in TCM terms Qi).
Acupuncture and TCM work in unison. Often treatments will involve a variety of other therapeutic tools such as moxibustion, cupping, Gua Sha, Tui Na (Chinese Massage) and Chinese Herbal Medicine. Ultimately, the aim of these tools is to address the root cause of dis-ease, relieve signs and symptoms and restore flow to the body.
Acupuncture and TCM can treat a wide range of health concerns such as pain, fertility, women’s health, hormonal balancing, sleep, immunity, general well-being, mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression, energy levels, digestive/gut-related disorders, etc.
Spinal Flow Technique
Spinal Flow Technique is a gentle yet powerful modality that was created by Dr Carli Axford. Spinal Flow’s philosophy is derived from the science and anatomy of the spine and nervous system.
Spinal Flow is designed to reconnect the brain and the body by creating flow and connection through the seven gateways of the spine. Spinal Flow uses touch-led healing sessions to bring ease to the body by relieving any spinal blockages. Spinal Flow aims to transform these stresses in a way where they can be integrated into the body. The aim of the game here is to bring the body back to a baseline (rest and digest) state – where healing can happen.
Spinal blockages are caused by emotional, chemical or physical stressors. Spinal blockages interfere with the nervous system and the flow of blood and oxygen to particular spinal regions. All of the nerves innovating every part of our body originally stem from the brain (cranium) and the spine. When one has spinal blockages you may experience an array of other bodily symptoms depending on the location of the blockage in the spine – this is due to the dermatome neural connections.
Spinal Flow utilises gentle touch on ‘access points’ – areas of abundant dura mater (tissue protecting our brain and spinal cord) to tap into the nervous system and promote a wave-like response of ease and flow. This allows the body’s innate healing intelligence to flow through the body, connecting all seven gateways of the spine and promoting well-being throughout the whole body.
Spinal Flow can help clients experiencing symptoms ranging from pain, depression, anxiety, headaches, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and more.
Reiki/Universal Healing
Reiki is a form of energetic healing that works to balance and promote flow through the body’s energy centres (chakras) to promote well-being.
The body’s chakras process energetic vibrations between the outer world and the physical body and soul. When balanced, energy can flow freely through the chakras, harmonising the mind, body and spirit. When chakras are blocked, imbalances can cause mental, physical, emotional and spiritual ailments.
During Reiki, the practitioner places their hands on or just above specific areas of the receiving person and channels ‘life force energy’ onto their body. When a practitioner is Reiki attuned, the ‘healer’ acts as a conduit for universal healing energy to be drawn from the source and then channelled onto the recipient. As Reiki utilises universal healing energy, the energy delivered is specific to the person receiving it.
Reiki assists in healing mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and energetic blockages by clearing away any negative or stagnant energies. Reiki helps to return the body to a relaxed and balanced state – promoting ease, flow and an enhanced sense of well-being. Reiki can often leave a person feeling calmer, lighter, energised, clear and more connected to self.
These three modalities promote ease, flow and balance to stimulate the body’s own innate healing abilities. They aim to work alongside the nervous system and the physical, emotional and energetic bodies to bring the body back to rest and digest (parasympathetic) state – this state is where healing occurs. There is no one-size fits all approach to facilitating healing. Each individual is unique in their own way – this is the beauty of holistic, vitalistic-based modalities and their outlook on health.
