Steven Goldstein

Steven GoldsteinIntegrative Fascial Release

A Description of IFR for Clients and Interested Persons

Most clients who come to me are referrals, either through my practice or from my teaching of IFR) Integrative Fascial Release.  One of the obvious questions I get, or people ask, is what does this fellow do, and how would you describe it, and is he ONLY a Remedial Massage Therapist?

To answer this is pretty straight forward…I hold a Bachelor of Health Science in Musculoskeletal Therapy (2007) with a degree in Education (1984) which qualifies me as a clinical therapist, remedial status in Australia, and more highly educated, which moves more towards Osteopathy.  I am not an Osteopath, but I do employ Osteopathic principles, in that I work with more than the muscular system to address soft-tissue dysfunction.

I target the connective tissue of the body, primarily myofasica, ligaments and joints, and I do so in a manner than is ever mindful of the autonomic nervous system.  The nervous system is the primary focus in regards to releasing soft-tissue. the nervous system is the ‘horse’, soft-tissue is the ‘cart’.

How this is achieved is through lighter application of touch, to facilitate sensory receptor response in all the various soft-tissue…so I do treat the muscles, but unlike massage therapists who primarily focus on muscle, muscle is my last ”port of call”.  I treat the musculature at the very end of a session, not the beginning.

Another aspect that distinguished my work from others in the field, is that I assess and treat ‘globally’ before I address the local or regional concerns. This is accomplished by blending the assessment and release of  global lines of myofascial tension (Myers) (Schleip) (Paoletti), with articular receptor facilitation to unwrap and unwind soft-tissue with little or no force.

I’ve drawn from the work of Micheal Shea for Autonomic Nervous System approach and expression as the foundation of any soft-tissue work, and Craniosacral therapy to facilitate change to transverse planes.

The Articular or ‘joint’ treatment I employ is Osteopathic in principle.  I discovered how to treat joints independent of any Osteopathic training.  However I was t rained as a massage therapist in Washington state with the now famous Brian Utting School in Seattle in 1985-86. With 25 years of clinical experience, and having taught in massage education since 1992, the parameters of joint treatment were very clear. No Manipulation. We can as remedial therapists, mobilize a joint, but we cannot and will not use any forceful or ‘thrust’ maneuver, as that is outside my ‘scope of practice’.

Techniques include the ‘Two Point’, which is the placement of  hands on the body in a light manner to connect with the client’s nervous system, and to ascertain the ”energetic state” of their system and to evaluate the myofascial tensional relationship along global lines.

The ‘Fulcrum’, Static & Leverage Compressions techniques which are introduced simply are one dimensionally, then combined by ‘osteopathic stacking’, I introduce more complex releasing patterns with constant autonomic nervous system awareness, expression and response. Sound structural underpinning knowledge with an indirect approach, allows the practitioner to work more quietly and effectively.

I tend to ‘unwrap’ soft-tissue, use compressive friction sparingly, utilize the autonomic response is akin to how kinesiology utlilizes the ‘neurology’of the body before change occurs to the physical tissue.

Conditions that IFR Addresses

There are a number of clinical complaints I address routinely, these include, but are not an exhaustive list:

  1. Systemic conditions including Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue and Chronic Pain
  2. Regional dysfunctions, including Frozen shoulder, Shoulder impingement, Rotator Cuff dysfunction
  3. Lower back pain
  4. Joint pain
  5. Cervical, Jaw and Neck pain and dysfunction

Emotional and Somatic Bodywork

The work can through the release of soft-tissue allow for ‘emotional content’to release from the tissue.  These possible ‘emotional storms’are handled in the most professional and compassionate manner therapeutically speaking.  that is, no ‘counselling’ or ‘therapising’is done. As an IFR practitioner, I am not interested in your ‘content’only how you can make sense of it in relationship to your body. Where the ‘feelings’arise in your body, and what memory, meaning or emotion you attach to it in relationship to the area it arose from.

Many of my clients are meditators, yoga practitioners and teachers, receive treatment from Network chiropractors, and see many other practitioners of various modalities.  IFR is very compatible with other modalities, as it is non-intrusive, respectful and gentle.

This does not mean that i don’t on occasion go deeper, or that pain sensations aren’t navigated…I do not buy into the old axiom “no pain, no gain”.  However, negotiated and strategic application can be utilized, provided I maintain constant awareness of your pain threshold and how you are responding to the application of technique.

Noni Turner

Hypnotherapist and Ego State Therapist, Psychological Astrologer, Massage Therapist

Hypnotherapy                                                                                                                                                                                             Noni has worked with hypnotherapy for 6 years,
working with both Ego-state Therapy and
Ericksonian Hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy helps re-connect you to your inner
resources - to that part of you that knows what it
is that you need to create what you want for your
life. It is gentle, transformative, explorative
 and delightful work.            

Common Question about hypnotherapy:

What is hypnosis? 
Hypnosis or trance is an everyday experience very like being absorbed in a good book or an engrossing film.  It’s  simply a state of focused awareness, sometimes deeper, and sometimes lighter.

Both Ericksonian hynotherapy and Ego State Therapy are client centred and solution oriented. I work with th einformation supplied by my client, working from the premise that the client knows best what they need. My job is to facilitate their reconnection with their own inner resources in order to find their own solutions.

Ericksonian hypnotherapy assumes that the client already has the resources he/she needs but has lost connection to them. Through using metaphor, imagination, activating the client's positive memories and projecting positively into the future, and by kicking the mirror neurons into gear, the client re-connects to his/her strengths and finds a solution to the problem. A simple example: A client who wanted to stop smoking, even though she only smoked a couple of cigarettes a day, realised she smoked to calm her feelings of anger towards her boss. In hypnosis she connected to her stronger, assertive self, which functioned perfectly well in other areas of her life, and brought it into play when dealing with her boss. No more smoking needed.....

Ego State Therapy works from the theory that the personality is not a homogenous whole, but is made up of different parts. The parts are thought (very simply, here) to be neurological pathways in the brain formed either by repitition or by trauma. We move - quite naturally - in and out of these parts or states throughout the day, and identify as "me" whatever part happens to be in the executive at the time. States may or may not get along. For example we may have one part that loves to smoke and another part that hates smoking. Whenever someone says, "I hate that part of me", it indicates ego states in conflict. Ego State Therapy aims to bring harmony and resolution between the states. Rather than working purely intellectually with an issue, Ego State Therapy allows the therapist direct access to the state that actually has the problem and also the capacity to elicit support from other stronger states. In the case of physical illness, and pain, there is very often an emotional component to the experience. This is where Ego State Therapy can help. Ego State helps access those states that do not have the problem to help heal the states that do. An example: A client with chronic fatigue discovered a link between her illness and a terrifying and disempowering event in her childhood. This was further compounded by her years in boarding school where she felt unable to ask for help when she was sick. After four sessions, accessing parts of her that are able to rest well and are able to nurture her internally and help he feel safe, she is now able to get through her day without an afternoon sleep, and is feeling much stronger.

 

Both of these techniques - which I combine - are powerful, empowering, and quite beautiful ways to work with problems that can seem insurmountable. They offer a gentle way to work with trauma and unhappiness. My clients find the work quite fascinating, useful and rewarding, as do I. Clients report feeling more alive, stronger, more relaxed and clearer. The techniques are effective for both adults and children.

What will I experience? Trance is a gentle but powerful experience. You’ll  feel connected, centred, empowered and quiet inside.

Will I lose control?
You are always in control with hypnosis. You go as deeply or as lightly into trance as you choose.

Why use hypnosis? 
Whenever you’re in conflict, when you feel stuck, when you want to improve your performance, hypnotherapy can help. When a part of you feels one way and another part of you feels the other, hypnotherapy helps you find the place of no conflict. Perhaps you want to stop smoking but part of you loves to smoke; or part of you feels too afraid to do what another part of you really wants to do. Hypnotherapy helps when you can’t resolve an issue just by thinking about it.

What problems can hypnotherapy help?

anxiety
- so many men, women and children suffer from anxiety related disorders : panic attacks, phobias, obsessive nervous habits, or just plain excessive worry. Noni works with groups or individually to help understand the anxiety process and to restore trust and confidence in life.

depression - hypnotherapy helps you re-connect with and re-member that part of yourself that loves life. Hypnotherapy helps grow your self-esteem.

pain and illness - while it is well-known that hypnotherapy helps deal with chronic pain, it is not so commonly known that hypnotherapy can help heal or reduce the symptoms of many illnesses - chronic fatigue, menstrual migraine, blood pressure etc.

birth preparation -It is a well-known and clinically proven fact that preparing for birth with hypnosis can shorten labour, reduce pain and reduce the need for medical intervention.It is less well known that using hypnosis for childbirth is a truly delightful process that can empower and enrich your birth experience. 3-5 sessions recommended, from around 30 weeks. (Complementary cd provided)

How many sessions will I need?                                                                                                                           This will vary – anything from one session to as many as you feel you need. Sessions usually last 1 – 1½ hours.

(Dip. Ego State Therapy. Dip. Solution Oriented Hypnosis.; Adv. Dip.Solution Oriented Hypnosis, Dip. Esoteric Hypnosis.) 2000-2009)

Noni’s sleep/relaxation cds for children are also available from the clinic.

 Psychological Astrology – This is a fascinating tool for self understanding. Exploring your potentials and pitfalls of your birth chart brings you a deeper, broader perspective on the workings of your psyche. It helps you understand your inner conflicts and brings you greater self-acceptance. It helps you understand the demands of the coming year, where you are in your journey, and to reassure you that no, you’re not going crazy – what’s happening in your life is actually reflected in your chart. Noni also uses the Symbolon cards for deeper insight.

Noni also works with charts of children and with babies – a great gift for new parents. Exploring the child’s chart helps parents understand and integrate differences that might otherwise be problematic, and illuminates how to best support and nurture their little one.

(Dip. Applied Astrology.1997-2003)

Massage therapy helps you get back in touch with your body – you can be more comfortable, have less pain and re-experience that wonderful feeling of increased energy, more movement and deep body/mind letting go. Noni combines remedial massage with deep relaxation, sometimes with hypnosis, sometimes with astrology – as your fancy takes you. (Cert. Massage VSMPC. 1985)

Lauren Allender

Lauren AllenderHomoeopath

Imagine a gentle, natural and fast way to treat your children.
 
Visited a doctor but your child is still unwell?
 
Many parents use homeopathy to complement their children's health program.
 
Did you know homeopathy gently stimulates your child's natural healing ability?
 
Lauren is a caring and experienced family homeopath. She specialises in treating children and babies. As a family homeopath, she also treats adults and the elderly.

1 hr - $90, ½ hr - $60,  Mondays & Fridays

Homeopathy and mainstream medicine are different

Before treatment, unlike a doctor, your homeopath must know who your child is.

Understanding their personality, past illness, inherited genetics and more, helps your homeopath prescribe the right medicine.

Homeopathy is effective and safe for babies and children

Did you know homeopathic medicine gently stimulates your child’s natural healing ability?

Helpful for colic, teething, coughs, colds, ear infections, tonsillitis, parasites, worms, behavioral problems such as autism, learning challenges such as ADHD, tantrums and hyperactivity.

 Homeoprophylaxis is also available to strengthen your child’s ability to ward off common childhood diseases.

Not just for the little ones

Great for teenagers and adults too. Effective for treating skin conditions, acne, warts, period pain, cystitis, candida infection, glandular fever, irritable bowel syndrome, hay fever and sinusitis. Also stress, anxiety and depression resond well to homeopathy.

 

Testimonial's
 Currently, I’m on an amazing journey of personal growth and am exploring better health options for myself. I now realise there’s more to my body, mind and spirit than orthodox medicine can address and that’s where homeopathic medicine fits in for me. Lauren’s overriding intuition and wealth of homeopathic knowledge has positively impacted my state of health. Lauren has helped me move towards a stronger, balanced level of energy that supports me as a whole. If you’ve tried other therapies and are in need of a new perspective, give Lauren a call. Like me, you might be surprised by the results.
S.C. (Scientist)
 
I started using homeopathy during my pregnancy and was really amazed at how effective and gentle it was.
 During pregnancy my hayfever/dust allergy was the worst it had ever been, and it remarkably cleared completely with Lauren's homeopathic treatment which has never happened in the past.
I also was feeling overwhelmed and emotional at times and I noticed after a few weeks I was dealing with situations with more patience and I wasn't feeling such intense emotions.
  During my labour I had a birth kit prepared, I experienced some intense neck stiffness during the labour and used the homeopathics suggested and it relaxed the area so I could go deeper into 'the zone' that was needed. As I had a homebirth and knew I wouldn't be using drugs that were optional in hospital for pain relief, the birth kit felt like a safety net for me emotionally and physically. I had a really amazing and beautiful birth experience and believe that the homeopathic treatment was one of the components to making this possible.
  Postnatally the homeopathic treatment has helped both myself and my baby girl with issues such as nappy rash. I will continue to utilize this form of treatment for myself and my family.

Teacher, educator, mentor and life coach

Clarify what really matters to you ...
www.sourcingfromwithin.com
jenny@sourcingfromwithin.com
Phone: 03 9699 1673

Is the life you are living, the one you want? 

Have you wondered how you can get to have the life you want?

Did you even stop to consider or realise that this isn’t where you wanted to be?

Would you like to discover a more authentic expression of who you really are?

Bringing your attention to the gap between ‘what you really want’ and your ‘current reality’ is essential if you wish to create the life you want. This is a cornerstone to engaging in life creatively.

Today’s world is so fast moving that is often difficult to keep up with the pace of life, let alone create what we really want, so our deeper values and aspirations fall by the wayside in our effort to cope.

Using a creative approach, you will discover real solutions for issues and problems that you are overwhelmed by AND learn the creative skills that equip you to create what matters most to you. This combination provides an easy pathway ‘home’ to yourself.

In response to a world and a way of life that is increasingly fragmented, I employ an integrated and fluid approach to:

·        Engage in rich and meaningful dialogue that supports you to discover what you care most about, providing clarity

·        Teach the skills that you need to create whatever you wish to, ensuring that you are effective in all that you do.

·        Promote authenticity and integrity as foundational premises for living.

·        Use whole-body learning, breath and movement, as a way for you to discover what is really going on. This provides deeper answers that lie beneath the surface of our awareness.

·        Build congruency between your deepest values and highest aspirations, and your actions. This ensures that the life you are living is what you want it to be.

·        Building BodyMind Vibrance is the leading edge way of working. This is the fast track to vitality that ensures transformation and that learning is permanent. Change is felt in the body, mind and heart.

·        Invite play and curiosity as great ways to s-t-r-e-t-c-h our boundaries and perceptions. This is a great way to learn in a fun and interactive way.

·        Pay non-judgemental attention to yourself and your body, and discover a more authentic expression of yourself. Living truly is congruent with living freely – and there is no better way to live.    

·        Create an action plan with you that builds the structure for your forward movement and your capacity, and encourages a ‘YES, I am glad I am here’ attitude to living.  

In the process, fixed patterns that limit you are broken. You will see all the rich opportunities that life presents to you that were previously unseen, and you will be willing and able realise these possibilities. Not only will you be more aware, you will have the skills to enrich your life, your relationships, your wellbeing and your business.

I do not seek to tell you ‘how’ but rather create a rich learning environment that serves as a catalyst for YOU to clarify what really matters to you.

 

When we let go of what confines us, new possibilities are already emerging.

Testimonials

“I was having great difficulty after a long-term relationship breakdown. I felt I was unable to move on.

“What surprised me most about the process of working with Jenny was how joyful and exciting the journey with her was and very quickly my life held many new possibilities, and change from within came about with relative ease.

“My life has changed irrevocably in a most wondrous way. I now have a sense of freedom and an understanding of myself which I never knew was possible. Life for me has a completely different and beautiful meaning.

Jenny is a tremendous life mentor.”
Brigitte – Chef, Writer & Wine Bar Proprietor

 

“Jenny provided a foundation for skill-based living, and the development of an awareness- based understanding of how my choices affect my life. Many times I sat with her and said: “In my head I can see what you mean and understand what you are saying, but how do I find the courage to jump off what seems to be a cliff?

“It took quite some time, but eventually I did jump. It proved to be a cliff in my head, and the world didn’t end. In fact, for the first time in my life I felt certain that I was in control of myself and what happened to me – and unafraid that, whether I made money or not, whether I was in a relationship of not, I would be fine. It’s a hard-to-describe feeling that, on the one hand you are in the hands of the universe, or the gods, or God, and on the other you are responsible for yourself.

“I think that last bit is the key – ultimately your fate is in your own hands, and the key test in life is to discover that and then use it. And that’s what Jenny helped me to learn – that’s her talent, and for that I’m very grateful.”

Martha

Reiki Practitioner

Martha is a qualified Reiki practitioner and psychotherapist specialising in spiritual healing.

The natural healing energy of Reiki allows stress and pain to find outlets, allowing bloackages to be released.

Martha has been practising reiki for over 12 years.  During that time she has studied under Caroline Myss Phd and also completed studies in psychotherapy.  The benefits of incorporating a psycho-spiritual model help us distinguish between authentic emotions which energise us and distorted emotions which keep us stuck and in unnecessary suffering.  This philosophy combined with reiki provides a gentle yet effective way of re-balancing our system.

The benefits typically recognised are;

  • Deep relaxation and healing
  • Greater awareness and connectedness
  • Increased energy and emotional balance
  • Enhanced health and wellbeing
  • Reduced aches and pains

Additionally, clients typically feel less stressed and better able to focus on positive emotions.

Flowing (JSJ)

 

 

Jin Shin Jyutsu® Physio-Philosophy

 

 

·         bring balance to the body's energy to achieve optimal health and well-being

·         harmonise the body with  mind and spirit

·         induce a deep sense of relaxation

·         reduce the effects of stress and anxiety

·         increase the body’s innate natural ability to heal itself

 

What is Jin Shin Jyutsu

 

Jin Shin Jyutsu is an ancient Japanese art of healing that uses the gentle placement of the practitioner’s fingertips on established energy flow points of the body to balance and harmonise the vital energy flowing within. It helps to unblock and restore our energy or life force. 

Jin Shin Jyutsu is gentle and non-invasive. It works without manipulating muscles, using needles, medicines or other products.  It is effective as a single modality and works well with other natural therapies and modern medicine, acting as a valuable partner in the healing process. 

How can it help?

Jin Shin Jyutsu helps:

·         induce relaxation

·         reduce stress and fatigue

·         let go of anxiety

·         promote more restful sleep

·         if we are ‘stuck’ in thoughts, attitude or patterns of behaviour and wish to move forward

·         before, during and after pregnancy

·         before and after surgery to help the body heal more quickly

·         eliminate the cause of the condition as well as the effect

·         bring inner peace

 

JSJ is for everyone - a simple, powerful tool available to all to restore balance and fulfillment in our everyday lives.

 

As we become more health conscious we want to do something for ourselves that is truly healing.  More and more people are looking to Jin Shin Jyutsu to treat the total being – body, mind and spirit. 

 

History

 

The Kojiki (Record of Ancient Things Japan, 712AD), housed in the archives of the Imperial Palace in Japan, contains the earliest written records of Jin Shin Jyutsu.  The art was passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth and was revived by the Japanese philosopher Master Jiro Murai at the start of the 20th Century. It was brought to the western world by his long term student Mary Burmeister in the 1960s. A relatively new art in Australia, there are thousands of students throughout the world.

 

What can you expect in a session?

 

A typical session lasts around an hour for adults and 15 - 20 minutes for children.  After some discussion the practitioner will listen to the pulses at your wrist, then gently apply her fingertips (over clothing) in sequence, to established energy flow points of the body.  The sequences are called 'flows'.  Clients usually experience feelings of relaxation and tranquility during and after a flow.

 

After there is some time for discussion and for the practitioner to provide some advice for ‘self help’.

 

How many sessions are needed?

 

Clients may come for one or several sessions initially. In most cases three to six sessions are recommended, depending on what the client is looking for, as the benefits increase with each session.  Some cases require continued and frequent treatments.  Sessions become further apart and eventually clients may continue fortnightly, monthly or whenever they choose.  Many clients enjoy the opportunity to just relax for an hour and let go of stress and anxiety as they feel the need.
