Have you ever noticed a gnawing sense of emptiness, a deeply felt flaw, unworthiness, or loneliness?
Thank you so much to everyone who reached out after the sudden passing of my dear wife, Miriam, in August. Your support was so much appreciated!
While it is still raw and early days, I’ve resolved to deal with it from the attitude of gratitude for what we had, and the special light she was for all who knew her.
And I have her cute dog Luna, to help me through!
Prior to her death I had booked 8 days of Craniosacral training in September, specifically Somato Emotional Release (below), which I considered cancelling. However, I decided this may just give me the opportunity to do some much needed and timely healing for myself.

Bodywork is very gentle so very safe. Lately I’ve been seeing more children and getting encouraging improvements for them too.
However, I have been concerned for a while that I wasn’t reaching everyone that might get some advantage from bodywork that really needs it. As a one-person operation it is very difficult to continually fund advertising to get the message out there. And especially hard to get across bodywork’s potential when, even people who have had it can only really describe the outcome….

Dr Alexander is a US neuro surgeon who contracted meningoencephalitis. His outer brain, the neocortex, was basically fried by an infection which is almost always fatal. The few survivors usually have permanent brain damage. In his case, after 7 days in a coma, doctors were advising his family to prepare for the worst…
Stress, especially perpetual stress, that can’t be immediately released, gets physically held in our body – stored in bone cells, fascia and soft tissue. This creates barriers to healthy functioning of our body.
