Poetry - Therapeutic Songwriting

Poetry to meet you on your path
So many people have been saved by a poem, transformed by a poem, or simply touched by a poem. So many of us have felt less alone, when we have read a poem that captures just how we feel.
This is your opportunity to explore one-to-one the power of the poetic word, which is totally life-affirming. It may reveal diagnosis, remedy or guidance. You may be looking for insight regarding a question or issue, or simply like to engage with the medium of poetry to enhance your inner world.

It offers a beautiful way to connect with your Divine Self and to move past emotional stumbling blocks.
Léan has over 20 years experience of songwriting as a way of emotional healing and inner
transformation. She is now inviting you to come and explore songwriting with her in a safe and
nurturing emotional space. With careful and expert guidance she will create a pathway for you to

Liny Kruger
Playing with the Images of Tarot
Tarot readings are traditionally used for divination, to predict future happenings. It is also a powerful tool to take us to inner places where spirit and psych meet, a guideline or sort of treasure map that directs us to explore the presenting images in our lives. These readings can offer helpful insights and shine a light into the vast matrix of Self. It reminds us that our stories are colorful and complex, that the solutions to our dilemmas and desires are within reach. Liny uses the images of tarot as an entry point to the sessions. A touch of divination, intuitive guidance, and elements of archetypal psychology will be at play. Book your session with Liny at 082 464 1926. Fee: R440 per session. Time: 60 minutes.

Transpersonal Numerology
Transpersonal Numerology offers an in-depth analysis of your personality. It helps you better understand who you are, and your role in terms of personal and business relationships and choices. By analysing two or more charts at the same time, we are also able to gain greater insight into your relationships. This process enables us to identify rewards and challenges of the relationship in question, as well as soul and karmic links between individuals.
Transpersonal Numerology includes the analysis of our shadow numbers or submerged characteristics. This gives us a greater understanding of the duality of our nature.
“Your numerical imprint defined you at the moment of your birth and in many ways, it is like an internal computer programme that has been installed. Your Transpersonal Numerology chart describes your personal programme – what is inside all those windows and toolboxes – and which ones you decide to use or not, is where your free will comes in.” – Richard Athol Higgins
R550 for 1 hour or R750 for up to 2 hours a reading.

Trauma Release Exercise (TRE)
Beth
TRE® is a powerful and yet very simple way to access the body's ability to shake off tension and stress.
It is a physical practice, in which we trigger the natural neurogenic tremoring process through simple stretches and muscle stress exercises, then by lying on a mat and allowing the body to release, in a sustained, yet controlled and gentle way.
Many clients describe it as feeling like a massage from the inside out.
CANCELLATION POLICY FOR THERAPISTS
