Head to Tail

myofascial release

We hold the past in our bodies, and this can be the root of our present problems. Myofascial release techniques, such as CranioSacral Therapy, can help us unwind the scars left by our history. All the techniques that I know, though, leave out the tailbone (the coccyx), yet in a sense the tailbone in where we start, where we begin. I have developed a simple, non-invasive technique to release tensions tied up at our base. If we are going to unwind the body, it is important to balance the floor.

I have collected techniques to release tension and contractions at all levels of the body including, and in some ways especially, the top and the bottom, the tailbone and the skull and the jaw. It is only after we unwind the past that we can be at ease in the present and ready for the future.

Head to Tail myofascial release starts with a free fifteen minute consultation to introduce you to the seven half hour sessions that constitutes the basic full body unwinding/release procedure.

The fee per session is $80 if paid at the time of the treatment: however, we offer a 25% reduction if you pay for two sessions in advance: i.e. $120 for two sessions. We will give you a further session free if you pay for the whole course of seven sessions: i.e. $360.

Psychoanalytic Therapy Wins Backing

A review of 23 studies of neo-Freudian/Psychodynamic psychoanalysis, published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) found this classical long-term talk therapy to be as effective, or more effective, than other varieties of psychotherapy (such as Cognative Therapy).

Recent discussions in the media have also discribed how neuroscientist are looking at Freud ian Theory with a considerable degree of respect.

Not exactly a newsclip but, I heard on the radio (and then googled) that
St. Johnswort stimulates the liver to deal with toxins (see immediately below), which is why it can be tricky with many pharmaceutical drugs, because it helps the body get rid of them... so, St. Johnswort for detox! (take the tincture or tea).

St. Johnswort cause the production of an enzyme, PXR, which causes the production of a cytochrome P450 (which is a major detox vehicle) that gets rid of "xenobiotics"(i.e. unnatural chemicals): it increases the metabolism of the detox system.
