ABOUT

THERAPIST

LIZ RYDER

As a badminton and swim coach with a passion for competitive tennis, I have always had a keen interest in the body and how it works. I am also a great believer in educating my clients in techniques that help them to gain the most from their bodies.

When I suffered paralysing nerve pain in my upper and lower back a few years ago, I feared I would never play sport again. I began to search for methods to heal myself and saw first-hand the enormous benefits of what massage and energy healing can do - both mentally and physically.

I studied different ways of healing and my curiosity led to a life-long passion and an expertise in helping  the body to heal itself.

During a career spanning two decades, I have dedicated myself to healing my clients and restoring the balance of both their bodies and their minds.

For the past 13 years I have used massage combined with other techniques such as kineisiology, chakra balancing, reiki and myofascial release, to create a holistic healing of the body.

Having suffered severe back pain myself, I understand what many of my clients are going through and am committed to working with them to reduce discomfort and improve flexibility.

As a therapist, I believe that balance of mind and body is essential for restoring health and well-being.

THERAPIES

KINESIOLOGY

Kinesiology uses muscle feedback as a stress monitor to help identify imbalances in your structural, mental and emotional energy systems. This allows the identification of factors and belief systems that can be affecting your wellbeing. By correcting these imbalances we can reactivate the body's natural healing ability.

REMEDIAL MASSAGE

Remedial massage uses a combination of superficial and deep massage techniques, ie (cross friction, trigger point) to help alleviate chronic patterns of tension throughout the body.

REIKI

WHATS IS REIKI?!

Reiki is a japanese  healing technique used for stress reduction and relaxation.It is  based on the principle that the therapist can channel an unseen spiritually guided “life force energy”

which flows through us by  the laying on of hands to the patient.

It  can assist and activates the natural healing processes of the patients body to help restore physical and emotional  and spiritual well-being.

The word Reiki is made up of two japanese words - Rei which means “Gods wisdom or “Higher power” and Ki which is “Life Force energy”

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

Myofascial release is a safe and very effective hand-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the myofascial connective tissue restrictions to help eliminate pain and restore motion, it helps create space in the body.

FASCIA

The fascial system (connective tissue) is a specialised system that spreads throughout the body in a three dimensional web. It surrounds everything under the skin all the way down to cellular level. Therefore any malfunction of the fascia  can create a binding  effect within the tissue which can result in an abnormal pressure on nerves, veins, organs etc, creating pain and malfunction throughout the body with sometime bizarre side effects in seemingly unrelated areas.

Some possible symptoms related fascial restrictions are:

• Problems sleeping


• Tiredness


• Cramps


• Headaches


• Over sensitivity of the skin

CHAKRA BALANCING

WHAT ARE CHAKRAS

The word chakras is a Sanskrit word meaning "wheel" or "disk" and denotes a Point of intersection where mind and body meet. Chakras are also called lotuses, symbolising the unfolding of petals, which metaphorically describe the opening of a chakra.

At the central column of the body there are 7 major chakras and many minor chakras most of which are located in the joints.

They have the ability to receive, assimilate and transmit energy. This life force energy Is called "Qi" or "prana", or universal intelligence. They are continuously spinning, like a vortex.

CHAKRA BALANCING

Stresses placed upon us by the demands of life can interfere with the energy flow of our Chakras, this can be related to emotional, physical and psychological trauma in the Present as well as past trauma.

A chakra imbalance can result in:

• reduction in energy flow ( Qi).


• a blocked or closed chakra.


• physical and emotional pain in and around the chakra that is disturbed.


• a chakra being out of alignment.


• an over energised chakra.


• a displaced chakra.

Balancing is focused on restoring a balanced flow where there is not enough, and regulating energy where there is to much, and aligning where there is distortion or displacement. This is done by using a series of different modalities, kinesiology, meridian therapy, myofascial release, colour therapy and reiki, depending on the clients needs.

ENERGY HEALING

Energy healing is a practice of creative , intuitive and soul centred ways of working with self and others for awareness, wellbeing, empowerment and healing.

The term soul relates to our depth, mystery and our quality of connection with oneself, and others around us.

Soul centred therapy is a conscious way of being in relationships, so as to embrace the diverse healing powers of nature psyche and spirit.

WHAT IS ENERGY HEALING

Energy healing looks beyond the physical body to the subtle energy systems (meridians, chakras, auric field) this is where dis-ease is located.

Many different modalities can be incorporated to help repair, rebalance, reenergise and unblock these systems, depending on the clients needs.

Reiki, meridian therapy, meditation, crystal healing, auric clearing and kinesiology are just a few, there are many more.

Emotional trauma, stress, unhealthy beliefs can result in these systems being blocked and out of balance and this can occur not just because of one event but a slow build up over a period of time, resulting in a pressed and suppressed energy system, negatively impacting your personal, spiritual growth.

Energy healing can help restore your sense of wellbeing both physically and mentally.
