MSTR - a scar tissue release. AromaTouch - essential oil experience. Nerve Dynamics - nerve fascial kinetics MY STORY & INFORMATION ON THE THERAPIES

I first experienced and trained in Reiki in 1995. I was beginning my journey into living and experiencing my life in a different and more spiritual way and exploring the practices and therapies that might enable me to do this. In 2022 I became a Rei

ki Master and now I enjoy empowering others to use this wonderful therapy. In 2013 after having experienced the benefits of Emmett Technique, I undertook the first levels of training. I have currently attained all the competencies up to EP6 practitioner training. I love how simple and effective this technique is and how my business is built up on referrals from happy clients. In 2017, having used essential oils for over 30 years, I rediscovered how important they are for our moods, emotions and well-being, and trained in AromaTouch technique. Most recently I became a MSTR practitioner - an innovative and effective hands-on therapy for the treatment of scar tissue. I am continually amazed at how transformative this treatment can be. I have also practiced Tai Chi and Qigong for over 25 years and believe that we all have the power to implement positive change in our bodies. Sometimes our body needs assistance in enabling this process to begin. Relieving pain and discomfort, and allowing healing to take place on a physical, emotional and spiritual level, can be the first step towards good health. Emmett, Reiki, MSTR and essential oils, either alone or combines might be just the support you need. I have an honours degree in Psychology, experience working with children over many years and hold a current Working with Children Check. Reiki appointments can also be done by 'Distance Healing'. EMMETT TECHNIQUE
Emmett Technique is a safe and simple muscle release therapy developed by Remedial Therapist Ross Emmett. It is used to address pain and discomfort, improve body movement and can restore a positive emotional state. Emmett Technique is a special form of body therapy that involves application of light finger pressure at specific points. These are in sequences that enable gentle releases for common problems which include neck, shoulder and back pain. Techniques derived from Ross's observation skills are also integrated within the treatment to encourage homeostasis. The Emmett Technique sequence of muscle activation points can unlock muscle memory. This activation gives the brain the opportunity to re-evaluate the initial activator that created the neuromuscular problem for that client. Emmett Technique can be used as an effective adjunct to enhance the treatment value of other types of muscle release and neuro-musculoskeletal therapies. The therapy addresses tissues that may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, or other connective tissue (fascia), as well as lymphatic vessels, or organs of the gastrointestinal system. Ross Emmett's "Emmett Technique” has been growing in popularity worldwide since he first started teaching the technique in 1999. It is a powerful standalone technique in its own right, or can be used in a truly complementary way with any other body work or exercise system, offering a valuable addition to those seeking to ease pain and discomfort or restore musculoskeletal function. MSTR®
MSTR® ( MCLOUGHLIN SCAR TISSUE RELEASE®) is an innovative, pain-free, natural method of helping you with your scars. Gentle, finger-tip pressure is applied to the area to help free the restrictions in the scar. No force is involved and the work is always applied within your tolerance. According to research, if a scar is left untreated it may make other therapeutic interventions less effective or not last as long. Even though your scar may be many years old this may be the release your body has been searching for. Often just one or two sessions can produce dramatic changes that you can see and feel! Scars may have a huge influence on our presenting problems. They can
cause:
• restrictions in the fascia
• reduction in blood and lymph flow
• weaken muscular strength
• reduce the flow of energy
• inhibit joint movement

McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release® work is suitable for post-surgical scars such as:
•mastectomy, lumpectomy etc
•appendix, gall bladder etc
•hysterectomy, C-section
•joint replacement scars – knee, hip etc
And may be considered for burn scars, trauma wounds, facial scars, muscle tears etc.. REIKI is a non-invasive, gentle, yet powerful method of healing that enhances the body's natural healing ability and promotes wellbeing. Reiki helps to heal mind, body and spirit, by accelerating the body's own ability to heal itself physically, and by opening the mind to the emotional and mental causes of disease and pain. A Reiki treatment can stand on its own as a healing practice and can also safely be used to support orthodox and complementary medicine. Reiki doesn't interfere with or diminish the intended effects of other health or medical practices. Reiki energy is accessed by the practitioner during the treatment through channelling of the Universal Life Energy through the hands. During a treatment session, the flow of energy is typically experienced as warmth, but it may also be felt as a fine tingling, a tremor, or even a deep chill. For most people Reiki is experienced as tension dropping away and the mind becoming still, which in turn leads to a deep sense of relaxation, and an overall sense of well-being. There might also be an emotional release as old emotional conflicts start to melt away. The Usui System of Reiki Healing, is the most commonly found modality although this system has evolved into different forms. A common element of many forms of Reiki is a set of principles or precepts. While there are variations in the expression and interpretation of the precepts, they are all based on the original teachings of Mikao Usui. AROMATOUCH
The AromaTouch Technique is a simple yet powerful way to provide every individual with an essential oil experience. High grade Doterra essential oils are applied to the back, shoulders, neck and feet in this beautifully relaxing body treatment. Each essential oil in the AromaTouch Technique was selected for its individual aromatic properties, and for their powerful aromatic properties when combined. The AromaTouch Technique uses specific guidelines and instructions for both dosage and application that make it a safe and effective way to receive the full benefits of essential oils. Pricing:

Having a bit of fun with technology ... Qigong practice.

Where there's yin there's also yang.

Where there's yin there's also yang.

There’s something powerful about choice. 💫

When we choose to take action—no matter how small—we can create a response we never expected.

As Ross Emmett reminds us:

“We create an involuntary reaction with our voluntary action.”

Our actions can shift movement, change patterns, open possibilities, and create new outcomes.

So today, ask yourself: What small, intentional action could create a meaningful change? 🌿

Don’t underestimate the power of one voluntary action.

Love today's astrology. The stars are aligned somewhere. I'm not only overseas in Vietnam, but also studying the ancient practice of 8 Trigram Qigong. It's a form of traditional Daoist Qigong that incorporates Traditional Chinese Medicine, modern fascia and sports science

This week’s Practitioner tip comes from Julie Scanlon, an EMMETT Technique Practitioner at Bodywork on Bushby. This tip is for practitioners and students managing long-term client cases and navigating the deeper responses that come with physical breakthroughs.

Originally an international educator before settling in Western Australia, Julie has spent decades working with complementary health modalities like Reiki, MSTR, and the EMMETT Technique. Her experience shows that a major structural release can carry an unexpected impact for both the client and their family.

🟡 Her tip for practitioners and students? Be prepared for the emotional and cognitive shifts that happen when a long-standing physical restriction is finally cleared. When a client has been stuck for years, the sudden recovery of movement can trigger a powerful emotional response as they process the reality of the change.

🔵 The result? Julie experienced this firsthand when working with a client whose husband had been unable to lift his arm for eight long years. When the restriction finally cleared and his arm raised above shoulder level, it triggered an intense, emotional moment for the family as they witnessed the immediate breakthrough.

Feeling energised after a wonderful weekend of Qigong & Breathwork in Perth .
Just what I needed in this winter weather.

I'm often asked about how Emmett works. This gives a good explanation 😊

I'm often asked about how Emmett works. This gives a good explanation 😊

That persistent ache in the upper shoulders isn't always a muscular problem - often, it's a defensive shield 🛡️

When stress, poor posture, or fatigue hit, the nervous system instinctively locks the neck and shoulder muscles to protect the head. Trying to force these muscles to relax with heavy, painful pressure can cause them to tighten even further in self-defence.

The EMMETT Technique approaches this upper body tension differently:
🔵 Light touch intervention - works with the body's guarding reflex instead of fighting against it.
🟡 Instant communication - sends a rapid sensory signal via the soft tissue receptors straight to the brain.
🔵 Neuromuscular release - allows the upper trapezius to soften and lower naturally, restoring comfortable head rotation.

It is a smart, non-invasive way to clear shoulder restriction without the post-treatment soreness.

Today we're putting the spotlight on Julie Scanlon, an EMMETT Technique Practitioner based in Western Australia who operates Bodywork on Bushby. For the past two years Julie has been sharing her passion for bodywork, helping clients and students experience the rapid resets of this unique modality.

Originally from North Yorkshire, Julie’s path to bodywork was paved by a global teaching career as an ESL teacher and trainer across Africa and South East Asia. Settling in Australia sparked a deep interest in holistic, traditional, and complementary health - leading her to study Qigong and Reiki before discovering the EMMETT Technique. Reaching practitioner level inspired her to establish her business, where she now seamlessly integrates EMMETT with Reiki and McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release (MSTR) ✨

In her clinic, the outcomes speak for themselves:
🔵 Subtle, progressive shifts - changes that unfold quietly over a few days, leading clients to note unexpected improvements in their overall physical comfort.
🟡 Immediate breakthroughs - profound moments of structural release, including a client's husband instantly raising his arm above shoulder height for the first time in eight years.
🔵 Holistic impact - shifts that go beyond the physical, helping to clear emotional and cognitive blocks to restore true balance.
