One key to this work is that we are trained to work with people and not to work on people. The difference is profound, we don’t see people as machines to be tuned up but rather as beings that need to be listened to, and helped to find that essential self that we had in the beginning.
Hence the name Re-balancing. We had balance before, it’s our nature!
So many people over so many years have benefited from this work. Young people (youngest 4 yrs old*) old people (87yrs old*) pregnant women, sick and healthy people.

Osho has said that we often meditate when we feel bad and meditation is certainly helpful then,. but it can be, oh so much sweeter when we meditate when we feel good! The same goes for Rebalancing! It can be SO helpful when we have aches and pains but when we are well, it’s even better!

- Girl of four years old had a facial scar that had healed awkwardly leaving the scar puckered and purple in colour. After a few 10 minute sessions of gentle firm work the scar had flattened and lost most of the purple colouring.
- Gentleman 87 years of age. Suffered from chronic neck and shoulder pain and stiffness (He was very stooped) He understood my explanation that in order for him to relax we work with his tight belly and diaphragm muscles as well so that he can stand more upright and not have to hold his shoulders back with tension. He also was very tall and was hunching down to not be a ‘Tall Poppy’! After some work he liked ‘just being himself’ and also was chuffed at his new ‘long strides’ (hunched over folk have to take short steps!)
- Client was to have an operation to help alleviate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, we worked together to release tension in his hands arms and shoulders, and started a particular stretching routine and the symptoms abated to the point that his Doctor cancelled the ‘Op’!

Ailments that can be helped by Rebalancing
Muscular and Skeletal aches and pains
Most aches and pains are symptoms and not causes. Through a profound understanding of how patterns are formed and held in our bodies, a session of work individual to each person is created to address unnecessary rigidity and tightness.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis
is a lateral (sideways) curvature of the spine. This helps create a lot
of tension as the muscles try to create stability and balance in an
attempt to have weight evenly distributed over both legs. Rebalancing
helps adjust and loosen this pattern for maximum freedom and better
stability and balance.
Repetitive Strain Injuries (R.S.I.)
These
injuries are caused by any activity that is very repetitive and cause
muscles to tighten and become unconscious. (We tend not to feel
unpleasant sensations as a method of survival!) Continuing to use these
muscles and tendons causes inflammation that makes things stiffer still!
However, we ALWAYS have the potential for grace and fluidity of
movement. Rebalancing works with these tight muscles and tendons to help
them relax and I teach some stretching exercises to help keep them
loose. By and by the inflammation reduces, we become more conscious of
how we can use our bodies without much tension and, well, life can
become easier and more fun.
Depression and Anxiety
Rebalancing helps by bringing us into better physical contact with ourselves. Rebalancing brings us into this moment, and feeling these sensations in our bodies. Our bodies are our anchor in this existence and through them we feel our true belonging here. Thoughts and thinking cannot survive when we are in the here and now. Being, and feeling the life within us is very concrete and pleasurable. We have a tendency to promote within us that, which is pleasurable, and our body sense gets stronger and stronger.
Clients experience a relaxing ‘high’ with this work, which, I believe is due also to the release of endorphins. A fun, wholesome physical life continued after Rebalancing sessions have finished helps promote this sense of belonging and well-being.
