Anouk is a certified Massage and advanced Bowen Therapist as well as a Reiki Master.

Realigning Structure, Reprogramming the Mind & Healing the Soul

Having trained partly in New Zealand and partly in the United States, Anouk is a certified Massage and advanced Bowen Therapist as well as a Reiki Master. Wellington has been her city of choice for over a decade now and many clients know her from her beginnings within an on-site environment at the Ministry of Health, IBM, ANZ Bank, the Ministry of Education as well as Datamail. Working within the clinic environment means she can offer her full spectrum of services and design an individual treatment which will take the session to another dimension.

The modalities Anouk practices have assisted her clients in releasing tension and pain that was holding them back from achieving balance and happiness. Using body and mind therapies is for her a way to engage the whole person through a synthesis of structure, function, energy and emotion to promote wellness and relaxation. Depending on how open clients are to the path of transformation, the sessions will address the person on all levels and help them reconnect all their aspects.

Regular body therapy brings peace to your mind and vitality to your body. A decade of bodywork has proven to Anouk that integrating mind and soul aspects is indeed very relevant to the structural work.

It is the purpose of Anouk’s practice to put you in touch with your inner wisdom, to help you see your issues and difficulties as pathways or portals into the deepest parts of yourself, and to transform your problems from areas of weakness into sources of strength.

The Bowen Technique

Simply stated, the Bowen Technique resets the body to heal itself. Using cross-fibre manipulation, it rebalances and restores energy. Gentle and effective through clothing, it is useful for everyone from new-born babies and special needs, through to the elderly. Rehabilitation time is improved and regardless of how old or new the injury/illness is, Bowtech makes a positive impact, creating a relaxed wellness over the whole body.

* Bowen has healed her hip tilt and lower back pain where every other therapy failed.
* Over the period of one year Anouk has treated at least 10 people a day between two and three days a week with the Bowen Technique which has given her invaluable expertise in this modality which she has been practicing for a decade now. Anouk is now one of few advanced practitioners in Wellington.
* Bowtech is a modalities that use cross-fibre moves which through its piezzoelectric effect increases communication within the body, sets stronger impulses through the nervous system and induces structural changes.
* Bowtech addresses not only the body but also mental aspects as well as trauma.
* Anouk had been following her clients with cutting edge technology over a treatment period of six months to a year. The technology (EIS) showed major body realignment, stimulation of internal organ systems and reduction of inflammation.
* A Bowen treatment can be successful as a one-off but please consider that when the compensatory patterns took many years to set in, a minimum of three treatments are recommended.
* If you purchase a series of four treatments you have your last session half price.
* If you purchase a series of eight treatments Anouk is happy to give you the 9th treatment at no cost.

Testimonial
"My motto: Don’t knock it until you have tried it. I presented myself to Anouk with codeine addiction headaches and sore lower back which was misaligned. The Bowen technique provided by Anouk was amazing 3 sessions and I was in great spirits. No pain, no headaches and what an experience!  The treatments were unreal, I was the most relaxed I have ever been almost in a meditative state. I arose refreshed, relaxed and uplifted. I plan to have top up treatments as a treat to my body and my spirit.  I have even been running again which I have not done for well over a year. I truly recommend the Bowen technique to anyone! - As I say ‘Don’t knock it until you have tried it!’"
Di Crosby, Early childhood centre manager.

"You were on my list this morning to say thank you for the bowen treatment - it has made a difference, was still very sore yesterday BUT today when I woke it is much much better, in fact I dont seem to be limping at all - it is still sensitive but your magic has worked, thank you very much."
Andrea.

Hot Stones to melt away the Stress and Tension

Combining Ancient Wisdom and New Therapies - The Geo-Thermotherapy can be traced back to the times of Hippocrates.

Massage is thousands of years old, and so is geo-thermography. Energy has been with us since before the Earth was formed, energy shifts created this planet we live on. In New Zealand we are even more aware of those energies than we might be in other places.

Please expect more than just a massage with hot rocks. This is about creating a ritual to honour mother Nature and father Sky to celebrate them and become one with the energy of the universe. Native Americans believe that the rocks and boulders hold the memory of every event that has occurred not only on the planet but throughout the universe. The hot stone ritual addresses chemical, physical and spiritual healing within the mind, body and spirit to create a perfect balance.

Rather than burning sage to open the ceremony and prepare spiritually Anouk will burn essential oils instead to clear and ground the space. All the other elements will be included into the ritual too.

We all know how our bodies welcome heat and warmth to find comfort and security.

A 60-minute session will have a sedative effect on the muscles and nervous system. I use deep, penetrating massage techniques and highly effective energy work. This ensures that every cell of the body receives more oxygen and nutrients while at the same time toxins are being removed more efficiently. Great for athletes and those wanting to boost the immune system and create more energy in their daily lives. The hot stone massage takes the massage relaxation to a far deeper level as the heat penetrates through all your body.

A 90-minute session will allow time for more spiritual and energy enhancing and balancing components of the ritual which will include crystal clearing.

Anouk encourages her clients to think about all the aspects of their lives that they are grateful for, especially for the hot stone ritual because we are looking at lifting the vibration of the body which is achieved through gratitude and love for everything that the universe has made available to us. And we want to think of the aspects that we want to let go of or change. Awareness is the first step to change and that in itself is a positive step. This is not about overanalysing or achieving perfection, but a gentle and compassionate process of transitioning into lightness and joy. (Anouk won't prompt you to share your process, this is not a coaching session but it will enhance your session if you would like to give it a thought).

Often Anouk's clients will comment there is no going back to conventional massage after their hot stone experience!

Mental or Emotional Healing

Mental attitudes will cause conflict and lack of well-being in your system. But if you were to reeducate yourself to understand how important your feeling are, you could actually let go of them.

The Emotion Code

Most of us are uncomfortable looking at those negative feelings or experiences that affect our physical health. Yet blocked emotions are certainly one of the main causes of most physical ailments. Our body's symptoms are a sign that changes need to happen in our emotional and human energy field. Trapped emotions create a lower energy field and distort our vibration. Tissue in the affected area will adapt to the new frequency.

The good news is that we can identify the trapped emotions, establish when they occurred and release them for good. Anouk uses muscle testing to allow your body to communicate what needs to be released and so far she hasn't met a person that hasn't needed clearing.

By realizing humans are beings of energy we can only comprehend new ways of viewing health and illness and find new ways by which we can be healed of our sufferings. We are not just a body; we are multidimensional beings with subtle energy systems. Emotions are energy in motion. We are freeing up the energetic pathways in the body for good. This is no temporary chakra balancing, this is a long lasting relief which gives the body the spiritual power to know and heal.

The Bowen Technique sessions with Anouk have helped me heal a great deal in the past but since we used the emotional releasing, the bodywork has taken me into a new dimension of healing. Anouk has been a true catalyst for me. Tania, Wellington

Spiritual Healing

The spiritual level gives us a foundation from which we can more easily move into other levels of healing. Without at least starting our spiritual healing it can be difficult, or even impossible, to find the hope, understanding, and strength we need to confront the difficulties and challenges of healing the other levels.

Dolores Cannon Quantum Healing Hypnosis

Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy is like interacted Dreaming.

Dreaming is safe, we do that every night. We also know that people talk in their sleep. How wonderful is it that we can talk with the dreaming self and find answers from beyond our rational minds? Anouk describes this process as interactive dreaming and if you are interested, you can go exploring.

Using dreams for healing predates modern medicine. Here's an excerpt from an article on The First Hospital:

"There was no hospital in the ancient world - physicians would sometimes allow patients to stay in their homes while they were treated, but there was nothing like a hospital until the cult of Asclepius and the Temples of Healing. Asclepius was in Greek myth the son of the god Apollo and Coronis, daughter of King Phlegyas of Trikka in northern Greece. He is associated with the physician staff with a snake wrapped around it. Today this is the symbol of the medical profession. The cult of Asclepius spread throughout Greece and in about 430 BC a great temple was built to Asclepius at Epidaurus, nearthe east coast of southern Greece. Hippocrates, the famous ancient Greek physician and founder of the Hippocratic Oath taken by all physicians today, was an Asclepiad.

The temple at Epidaurus began as a healing shrine. The process of healing was known as incubation. The patient spent the night at the temple. During the night they would be visited by the god in a dream. Priests would then interpret the dreams and prescribe treatment."

Well, now thanks to Dolores Cannon, we have a wonderful updated version of this healing process! Dolores has certified Anouk as an advanced practitioner of her technique this year. The journey which she has been sharing with her clients through the dreamwork has been a true honour and gift.

Commonly achieved through the session:

* Finding past events or current blockages to leading a free and joyful life.
* Releasing outdated contracts and karmic burdens
* Uplifting the vibration and bringing closer to source.
* Healings on an emotional, physical and spiritual level.
* Cleansing of traumatic events.
* Exploring soulmates.
* Life guidance and life purpose.

and you may have many other elements to be explored...

Depending where you are on your personal journey you might receive messages around self-realization, physical and financial wholeness, ego-created problems and get in contact with the divine consciousness within.

Anouk will be guiding you through Dolores Cannon's Past Life Regression Therapy. It's a beautiful way to converse with your subconscious, shrink the resistance to life's magic and create a space for spontaneous healing. Your subconscious will give guidance on your life purpose, lift your vibration and give you true advice on how to overcome what separates you from realising full happiness and making the law of attraction work for you.

Anouk's clients report they face the world with greater focus, presence and passion after the session. They feel uplifted and peaceful. After having been regressed once, you can achieve the deep level of relaxation within a short time which means any follow up sessions will only take half the time should you like to revisit this beautiful space.
