Shaking it off!

An interesting presentation at 'The Therapists' Network Annual Conference - Holistic Therapy Works' by Kate Munden, on how we process stress. It seems that trauma release exercises (TRE), that allow the body to 'shake' can be an effective way to aid recovery in those with post traumatic stress or have experienced stressful situations. TRE allows a way for the body to release the stress hormones produced at times of high stress, with shaking being found as a way to discharge the trauma effects.

Kate showed how we all have natural oscillation, and this can be felt by trying to stand completely still with your feet together. Something I wasn't aware off! Here is an interesting article that was in the press recently regarding shaking.

Great post thank you.

My Story

I am a mum of 2 young boys and prior to becoming a reflexologist I worked within health and education. I am a former Midwife and have also worked in adult education and schools with children with additional needs. As a Midwife, I became frustrated with hospital policies, time limits and staffing, all of which prevented me from being able to give the quality of care and time that I wished to give to families at this precious time in their lives. Working with children and adults in a variety of roles, has helped develop my knowledge and skills in working with people from all walks of life.

I have suffered with chronic pain problems which has impacted my life on a daily basis for nearly 10 years. After numerous tests and investigations I was told the only available treatment from traditional healthcare was to take long term pain medication. Reflexology was part of my midwifery degree training and a friend also suggested I try this therapy for pain reduction. After a couple of treatments I found I benefitted greatly with a reduction in tension, chronic pain and also hormone related problems which I had suffered with since puberty!

I decided to become qualified in reflexology, and train to a high standard to be able to meet the needs of clients, bring deep relaxation and assist clients with a vast range of health conditions. I also wanted to become a specialist in maternity and baby reflexology. I now feel I have come full circle in my life. I can now give the care and support to all clients, young or old.
