Elisabeth van der Veer has been in private practice since the 1990 in Rebirthing/Breathwork/Breath Integration, as a participant, practitioner & group leader. She brings a wealth of knowledge, training and life experience to her work.
SERVICES
Her special interest is the use of creative expression in a group setting to access limiting beliefs and self defeating blocks. Her gentle strength, groundedness and sense of humour make it both safe and fun to work with her. Elisabeth runs a Somatic Psychotherapy practice both in Sydney and in the Blue Mountains.
Somatic Integration Therapy
Somatic Integration Therapy is becoming aware of how you have embodied your experience as a human being and how this does or doesn’t serve you right now.
Working with movement breath and sound inviting greater aliveness through relationship, presence and respectful touch.
In a safe environment the client is supported to make the change that will enhance their happiness and general wellbeing.
As a somatic therapist I work on a one to one basis supporting my clients to identify how they are, how they want to be, and how they would know if they got there.
Alexander Lowen says: “Mental health is the maximising of freely available bodily energy. This is the source of spontaneity, creativity, sensuality and joyfulness. we move towards this state by freeing up energy used in holding back unreleased emotions”.
Biodynamic massage
Biodynamic massage is a nourishing and relaxing form of bodywork that helps to reclaim the connection between emotions and body sensations which many of us have lost.
As the body and mind functions are intertwined, this healing process also brings ease, pleasure and a sense of our own unique wellbeing.
Moving from habitual contraction by melting tension, allowing the body to guide us to a greater aliveness. The sessions vary according to the individual requirement and body structure.
Biodynamic massage benefits a variety of problems whether physical, emotional or mental.
By combining the natural healing capacities of the body with this special technique, we can help to re-balance the body’s energies and assist in releasing persistent pain.
Rebirthing/Breathwork
Using a gentle integrative breathing technique called conscious connected breathing, we access suppressed experiences causing us tension and stress. In this way it is possible to gain access to our ‘memories’ from the first years of our lives, our birth and the time in the womb.
By simply changing our normal breathing pattern slightly in a very easy to learn and safe way we can release emotional, mental and physical blocks, bringing us into a state of deep relaxation. Letting go of the past, finding simple, pleasurable and gentle ways to experience life in all its colour and variations. Developing a sense of wellbeing, independent of whatever is happening. Understanding that our current reality is founded in conception, birth and early childhood experiences. I am committed to working from the base that NOW is all there is.
