I fell into . . . .
My story
Having been involved in predominantly women’s work since my initial clinic in Brisbane city in 1979 – as the only female working central Brisbane for years – I attracted those women whose bodies seemed to be failing them. Anyone in chronic pain (no modern drugs, arthroscopies then) was in trouble. Needles, hand work (all my soft tissue training as I was taught acupuncture by a chiropractor) – and moxa use plus my naturopathy and critical thinking – why something is STILL not fixed) was all it took . .
Heather’s Moving Blockages (to healing) was born. Out of necessity, What may be taught from books may not work in real life. Holistic, multi modality, multi lineage, multi dimensional, transfromational Qi and body aligning.
Hands-on
Unusual for a classically trained acupuncturist. Or any form of energy medical health care worker – I was taught the acupuncture component by a chiropractor who also led us into mind/body connections, and the budding art of kinesiology. Whatever helped move a person from stuck (and in pain) to freely flowing again . .. He was the only fertility specialist in Brisbane pre IVF. His primary focus was in correcting uterine positioning.
His teaching of us held a lot of the soft tissue viscera work, adhesion breaking, lymphatic moves, prostatic drainage and joint mobilisations that I assumed all taught acupuncture knew. As this is not the case – and as all are now taken through the biomedical version of Qi – this may not be what you wanted and what may need tweaking – as I found it did.
My playing with this work researching patient by patient . . I added in what made differences on all.
Cupping the cold from the navel (old people’s ways from China via Dr John Shen), rescuing the yang using navel moxa afterwards, chest and rib gouging, Stuck Liver Qi Release, Diagrammatic Release, sacral moxa fan, sacral release work on into pelvic opening.
I also went into the belly – gyne/visceral corrections. Additional to what I was already onto – belly work. I discovered the Maya/Arvigo® – I added in to my Foundational Moves – more various slow lymph clearing moves. The addition of the Maya (CLICK)/Arvigo® and the Mercier work has meant I now offer Living Ligaments as part of The Gentling Way.
My personal maternity intervened regularly
Babies born Feb 1977, Jan 1984, Nov 1986, Nov 1994. Very different cultures of birthing and motherhood. As a budding acupuncture student I was compelled to do this – for the future health of my then 6 week old son in tow. Anything that may help him in the growing up to be a well unit was studied – naturopathy, Western herbs, all massage and energy work that came my way. I attended the births of those women whose pregnancies had been enhanced through my attentions. I saw them at hem after wards for post partum improvement. I held their babies, I looked after their broken hearts when their lives maybe went awry . . I co – designed a better acupuncture course than I had been taught through – I taught, I mentored, I grew more in the maternal field as the babies developed and years and husbands passed. Being a new mum – as the impetus to begin the acupuncture and the concurrent naturopathic and Western herbal training, I found whatever energy work – Reichian release, Rolfing and all flower and gem and crystal essences, Aura Soma, Reiki and Sekhem/Seichem, leading me into the Anatakarana meditation (CLICK) and the various clearing ways that come through being a multi dimensional healer. We have all had lives. Residue is left. Maturity called.
A break in my hands-on maternity – meant time for me. Sacred sexuality work beckoned after my 8 year intensive working on my own full time home based trauma. (CLICK) Rescuing my daughter – massively brain injured, then profoundly autistic as a vaccine injured adult totally dependent on others. I know trauma. I know recovery. I work at the interface of transitioning however this looks. Multi modality, multi lineage.
The Gentling Way offers you an opportunity to open your heart to soul filled hands-on touch energy work.
It all works!!
Here is the essence of it . . .
“It is too simple. No one seems to get it . We just tell them what they are doing wrong – they stop doing it – and then they don’t need us.’ Christine, Brisbane
A note from someone Maja, Cairns – a Shiatsu/Moving Blockages worker for the past 12 years and now a Gentling Way practitioner. “My husband wants to know what magic you sprinkled around on me. I feel amazing, greatly reduced pain, iIm laughing and happier. You truly are an angel. God bless you!
What some acupuncturists have shared with me.
“Watching you work on the eLotus – Easy Babies 3 patients was intense. It was honestly the reason I avoided fertility all these years. Especially IVF. I always had this feeling that something was wrong with it, and in watching the EB 3 I realized that my intuition was correct. I’m so saddened by the state of people’s consciousness around birthing a child as if it was a commodity. However, I found myself working with pregnancy and over the last few months fertility patients started showing up. And I asked for guidance and your work came into my life. Thank God. I am so excited, honored and humble to one of the women to learn your work. It is quite amazing. I love watching the clients transform before my eyes. It is powerfully life changing.” Carine LA.
“I am doing myself out of business – women ring up with Hypermesis and I tell them what to do whilst waiting for an appointment – and they ring back as they don;t need me – when they stop creating the problem! Same with ‘inductions – I let them know that they are getting in the way of baby coming – and they go into labour when they do a few simple things”. I now love my work again – as I am seeing instant results, and everyone is happier”. Teri Kaitaia, NZ Also using the channeled remedies from Kaliana Rose:
“Heather guided me to place the drop of Bao Mai essence to my finger, connect it to my Yintang 3rd eye, then bring it down my midline until I reached my uterus. I did this then sat quietly. Moments later, ‘boom’, as my heart felt as if it ignited with fire. Another moment, then ‘boom’, same in my uterus. Wow, Bao Mai connection re-established! The channel was treated from the spiritual level. This is Holistic healing.
‘Since then, I have been using this essence for women (and men) in my clinic. It is really beautiful. Just this weekend I got my patient to do the same Bao Mai pathway opening with the essence topically. It immediately released her trapped tears. Another time the essence was used in a ceremonial way while sitting around a campfire. There ended up being 4 of us women together. All having just met for the first time that weekend in this small festival. After throwing a substantial amount of mugwort (fertility herb) into the fire, I was moved to give everyone an experience with the Bao Mai essence. The first woman used it. After that, the fire roared more than double its size as she released a lot of past from her uterus regarding 6 miscarriages into that fire. She had her eyes closed as this was going on and was asking the remaining 3 of us why the fire is now suddenly hotter? As you can imagine, the 3 of us were excitedly telling her, it’s you! A few months later – this woman is now pregnant! Ana, Auckland.
