Clients self-refer for anxiety, depression and relationship issues, work, health or other stress-related events, including problems unresolved by prior treatment. Stress-related difficulties can appear as G.I. tract, respiratory, cardiovascular, muscular or immune systems symptoms—or in any part of the body. Typically, treatment (intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy) will involve looking into complex feelings contributing to the difficulties presented.

Living a vibrant, healthy life can be more than a dream. Pauline’s approach to counselling is bioenergetics involving mind (analysis), body and Spirit in the process of integration. Tension felt in the body is often due to emotional blockage.

Consider releasing buried emotions - often underlying cause of anxiety, low self- esteem, relationship problems, lack of sexual integration, etc. Certified Bioenergetic Therapist.

NSAO NOVA SCOTIA ASSOCIATION OF OSTEOPATHS

Website: www.novascotiaosteopaths.ca

Ostopathy uses manual therapeutic techniques to restore mobility and proper biomechanics to joints, muscles, the vascular and nervous systems, and fascia. It restores optimal vitality to the digestive, circulatory, immune and nervous systems using a gentle hands-on approach to detect restricted movement.

Osteopathy was introduced by Dr. Andrew Still in 1874 and is based on four principles: if a structure in the body is injured, the body won’t function at its best; the natural flow of the body’s lymphatic, vascular, and neurological fluids must be maintained; the body’s physical, emotional, social spiritual, and cognitive systems work in harmony; and when the body has no restrictions, it can heal itself.

Rolfing® Structural Integration works to bring the body to a better alignment. It does not aim at treating symptoms, but at correcting posture so that symptoms never arise. Rolfing has a proven ability to change, directly and rapidly, the physical structure of the client. Relief from muscle or joint pain, increased energy, and freedom of movement are among the many benefits. John trained at the Rolf Institute in Colorado and has been practicing since 1998.
