The Intuitive Body

There's a few new faces here, so I thought I'd take the time to reintroduce myself.

Hello everyone,

I’m Eppie, aka The Intuitive Body. A massage therapist, reflexologist and bodywork currently working in Newcastle at the wonderful .

My massage style is intuitive, connecting and nurturing ❤️

🧡 I qualified as a massage therapist in 2007, graduating with a BSC Degree in Integrated health from Northumbria University. My course incorporated a variety of massage techniques, giving me a depth of knowledge and dimensions to my practice.

🧡 I believe deeply in the power of touch and the essential role it plays in our wellbeing.

🧡 Our bodies hold stress, emotion, physical and mental pain, which I believe can be healed through touch therapy.

🧡 As a progressive Massage Therapist, I believe in nurturing, rather than battling against the body.

🧡 During sessions I use breath work and mindfulness techniques to help you connect with your "calm" nervous system (parasympathetic), for your body to receive at its optimum. I invite you to become aware of your body and notice what you feel. Your body is intuitive to what you need, I guide you to listen to it.

🧡 I use a combination of massage styles; Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, Indian head massage, relaxation massage, myofascial release and gentle joint mobilisation.

🧡 I aim to create a safe space, in which you can feel comfortable to let go of anything you need to.

I'am working evenings at Viso, I will be there until the end of Sept, when I'll return to Aotearoa. Get in touch if you'd like to see me for a session.

🧡 PM me here

Warmly,

The Big Ol Sun setting across Beautiful Fluffy Clouds on my descent into Newcastle, a week ago ⛅⛅

There may not have been much of Mrs Sun since then but the warmth of the toon has absolutely been filling my heart 🧡🧡🧡

For me there's a certain sense of being held here in the North East that I don't get in the same gravity anywhere else in the world. That's special. It feels special.

I hope your all feeling the warmth and nurturing of this special place too, even without the sun.

I'll be extending this energy out to anyone who would like to receive bodywork from next week onwards.

Send me a DM if your interested.

I'm especially enjoying giving guided meditation and massage at the moment and feeling into the benefits of this I see with clients. It can be powerful stuff.

Guess who's going to be back in the UK and offering bodywork soon?

I'll be available for bodywork sessions from the beginning of August, in Newcastle.

Here's a wee reminder of what to expect from my sessions.

My massage style is intuitive, connecting and nurturing ❤️

I work with physical and mental health, fatigue, tension, emotion and stress.

As a progressive Massage Therapist, I believe in nurturing, rather than battling against the body.

I use breath work to help you connect with your "calm" nervous system (parasympathetic), for your body to receive at its optimum. I invite you to become aware of your body and notice what you feel. Your body is intuitive to what you need, I guide you to listen to it.

Your session is very much dependent on your needs. If you'd like one of these as a stand alone session, you can. Mostly I will use a combination of all or some of the techniques below in each session.

🍂 Aromatherapy

🍂 Deep Tissue Massage

🍂 Swedish/therepeutic

🍂 Indian Head Massage

🍂 Reflexology

🍂 Guided meditation and massage

🍂 Relaxation Massage

I'll only be working a couple of days a week, so I have plenty of time for family and friends. If you already know you'd like to book in, get in touch and let's get it locked in.

Prices:

45mins - £39
60mins - £45
75mins - £54

And so my Hakomi journey begins......

Hakomi is a Mindful, Somatic (body-centred) Psychotherapy.

I've just completed Module 1, of level 1 of training. My aim is to deep dive into this work, welcoming my fears of not performing or achieving perfectly and following my own deeply carved out path towards becoming a qualified therapist.

The word Hakomi is a Hopi Native American word, meaning:

"how do you stand in relation to these many realms"

or more simply

"who am I"?

The meaning fits well with the practice itself. Journeying of self discovery, back to the organic self. Following our innate bodily wisdom.

The approach and method was developed by Ron Kurtz and his colleagues in the mid 1970's.

Hakomi draws on a range of sources. Psychotherapies from Gestalt, Reichian, Bioenergetics, Focusing, Eriksonian Hypnosis and Neurolinguistic Programming. Body therapies, Feldenkreis and structural bodywork have also contributed.

Inspiration has come from Buddhism and Taoism, with honouring of non-violence, going with the process and recognising compassion and loving presence, as healing forces themselves.

Hakomi thought has also been influenced by General Systems Theory, seeing individuals as self-organising systems that contain within themselves their own innate blueprint for growing and becoming. Their innate wisdom.

On my personal journey, Self study and study groups with my peers have commenced, between my training modules.

So far I am loving being back in the learners seat. I had almost forgotten the joy of learning and the benefits that come with pushing ourselves to the edge of possibility.

Its been a long, sometimes tough journey to get here. I'm so happy I've finally landed.

I think it's a good time to reintroduce myself and explain why I've been soooooo quiet on here. My account was hacked and I've only just been able to access it again. So I'm happy to put that behind me and start interacting with you all again, which is wonderful.

Warmly,

Eppie x

These beautiful shadows are what you see when you slowly start to open your eyes, after our session comes to an end. I love the dancing candle light and shadows created by the intricate details of my Morrocan lanterns. 🧡🧡🧡

I have just two weeks left at Driftwood float spa. How time has flown by! I've loved my time here, if your a therapist looking for a space..my room is soon to be free.

If you'd like to book in before I fly off, I have a limited number of spots available, so DM me here or text me on 07719148109 to see if I can fit you in.

Lots of love, as ever
