It combines the emotional, spiritual and structural aspects of bodywork as a complete holistic approach to healing. My intensive Hellerwork training certification program required over 1200 hours of anatomy, psychology, kinesiology. Hellerwork clients usually undress to their underwear and bodywork is focused on a particular area of the body. The myofascial work is slow, deep, and deliberate. We thoroughly discussed postural and movement patterns that were contributing to the discomfort she felt in her body and I offered suggestions for simple changes.
Emotional holding can also manifest into chronic pain and discomfort.
During Hellerwork sessions we explore attitudes held in the body through discussions or dialogue. I may use bodymind suggestions, visualizations, or voice dialogue techniques to bring emotional holding into consciousness. Once a client becomes aware of the held emotions he can make a conscious choice to keep them or not. Hellerwork Structural Integration is offered as a complete program for rebalancing the entire body. The series is 10 sessions, organized to build awareness and integrate the body in a systematic manner.
