Story
Lou
I’ve always been curious about the human psyche, graduating from Notre dame University with a bachelor of Counselling in 2012. After many years of undertaking talk therapy for myself, I began a dedicated practice of yoga and within three weeks I experienced a significant reduction of anxiety, and an overall stillness and quiet confidence that I had lived without prior. At this time, I realised that there was more than one road to healing. Talk therapy had helped me develop an awareness of my suffering, the thoughts and behaviours and yoga helped me to develop a connection with my body and allowed me to let go of the relentless trying and just be. Getting to know the mind AND the body allows the whole system to heal... and along came massage.
