 Healing trauma is the way back to health.



 

Trauma is anything that shocked or overwhelmed the body or mind and as a result became suppressed. Birth trauma is one of the most prevalent and debilitating imprints in our nervous system and yet can be released through hands-on somatic techniques that restore balance to the skull, the brain and the essential nerves exiting from the brain stem.

Another trauma that is becoming more common with the popularity of “cleansing” is toxin trauma. The body is unable to release parasites, bacteria, fungi or cellular debris and will create tumours and cysts to keep these threatening elements contained at a cost to your health.

The most important underlying principle of my work is to calm the mind so the body can heal.

Through mind-body release systems I use gentle, specific steps towards healing that leads to:


• elimination of pain and illness
• revitalization of organs and endocrine glands
• greater emotional and physical health
• release of toxins and harmful micro-organisms
• improved cellular and nerve communication
• peace and clarity of mind
• stronger sense of self, stability and confidence
• clearing subconscious fear patterns

I work with your “healing pattern” which is the imbalance in the musculo-skeletal form, creating disease or symptoms.


    'Activating Health' - Grettal's Vision

“USING NATURE TO CHANGE THE HEALTH OF YOUR BODY,
AND USING YOUR BODY TO CHANGE THE NATURE OF YOUR HEALTH”

grettalThe universe is a web of threads carrying life force. We and everything else live in this web receiving and sending out energy through lines of threads. Threads of Suprapresent Energy are always available to recharge and repair our own systems, shifting us out of destructive habits and getting us to relearn a healthier way of being. We can learn to draw energy from Suprapresent Energy Threads and tune ourselves with its frequency, like a guitar string that gets another string vibrating.

We can virtually couple or entrain another frequency in order to help our own sluggish, stuck or dormant rhythms. Through learning to associate with the vibration of a substance, including our own bodies, we can “kickstart” and regulate our own healthy rhythms and pulses. We can reshape our lives and change old ways of thinking by becoming familiar with our body’s interior geography: its currents, its tough rocky sections, and its starscape.

We have thread-like filaments that float in a sea of energy. Fear or worry about protecting ourselves makes these filaments curl inward and retract from the energy field. We are literally withering away from our surrounding source of energy. Instead, much of our energy is invested in other people, what they think of us, or how they might reject us. We use the words “good” and “bad” a lot. We are too serious and forget to have fun and play.

Healing initiates the movement of stuck energy imprisoned within our bodies. This energy is created by unresolved sadness, resentment, anger, guilt, self-loathing, and unworthiness. Feelings and thoughts are transmitted neuro-chemically into our bodies and affect us posturally and energetically. Parts of our body become deadened and separate from the natural flow of energy as our judgmental brain disconnects from them.

Our soul-nature reminds us to go within to our inner intelligence to find out what we need to relearn in order to live in a freer, lighter body. Disease is a call to go within. There, in a different consciousness, we see that we are supported lovingly by an amazing meshwork of energy. We discover that the body knows what to do to guide and heal ourselves. The safety net is never far from us.

   

 

"Healing The Inner Child"



 

"The more we ignore our childhood wounds, the more they fester and grow. Until we heal the child we used to be, the adult we want to be doesn’t stand a chance." - Taken from, “The Age of Miracles” by Marianne Williamson

Inner Child Work is done through dialogue, breath work and body work in conjunction with healing flower essences. It is a brain-body partnership emphasizing compassion and non-judgment as opposed to “diagnosing mental or emotional illnesses”.

Grettal helps you to develop processing skills that keep you grounded on the track of truth, spirit and healing.

What people are noticing after a few sessions:

"This recent work was like peeking in some corners and letting the next layer of some issues arise and dissolve. I do feel like we did some further unwinding in my legs and have to say that when I next did my calf stretches that night, there were no knots and they were soooo much looser. My hips too are not tight and feel like my legs and lower body are grounded in the here and now finally!

It feels as though we worked on a level of anxiety from letting people literally get me BENT OUT OF SHAPE seriously and literally. I'm a psychic sponge and take it all in and do not release it. I feel now we somehow strengthened my energy and made it more protective and by talking, I know I will PROCESS and RELEASE.

I feel grounder and reconnected to SIMPLY ME! My attachments seem to have disappeared or at least are more at peace. I also have more energy to get up early and do things FOR ME since I have less bodily pain to fill my heart with anxiety!"

"I wanted to take a moment to say thank you so very much for the good work you did with me on Wednesday. I have been waking up refreshed with more energy and my arms are no longer numb when I awake and my head doesn't feel like a bowling ball anymore!

I feel like I've come back to live in my body after all the pain I've been through made me hide in my left hip pocket, as we discovered. I am so clear, relaxed, serene and have a new beginning that started with your good
energy and work. Of course, as you so wisely know, I have to do my part too, as I have been these last couple days and I feel renewed and on a great new path. One step at a time now. I will be back to work with you again for sure.

Thanks for all that you do. You are a great spirit!"

 

"I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for the work you did with me.  The last few weeks have been filled with insight, acceptance and realization, thanks to what you have allowed me to 'download' from my state of 'frozen consciousness'.  Growth and evolution are not always easy or without a certain degree of perturbation, but they are a necessary part of a conscious life."

- Jade Altavilla (Polarity Therapist and Reiki Master)

"I was struck by a van while crossing the street and was taken to emergency where a doctor said my jaw was displaced. He told me I would need oral surgery. I was not able to close my mouth, speak properly or chew food. After two sessions with her my jaw was comfortably back in place and the pain was gone. When I went back to the hospital for an X-ray the doctor said I would not need surgery! Her work is the future of healing."

- Amy Pearl ( songwriter/performer)

Grettal has been pioneering a unique system of healing with herbal vibrations on the energetic level. With proven successful outcomes in many case studies, she feels it is important to bring this body of knowledge to others. She in now teaching a system that incorporates the body’s natural healing phases, hands-on techniques and the integration of supportive herbal vibrations. Grettal has her own practice as a Cranio-Sacral Therapist, Somato-Respiratory Facilitator and Intuitive Energy Healer.

Her work, knowledge and intuition in the natural healing process, is the most advanced, synergized, and truly somato-psychic modality that I, in my intensive research and experience, have been gratefully able to grow within and be a part of.

– Ezra Grant

"My thirteen year old son had been diagnosed with TMJ and his dentist suggested a Cranio-Sacral Therapist. His jaw hung down and it gave him a strange look. During the first few sessions with Grettal a lot of pressure was released from the gums and teeth. During the third session, his body went back to the memory of an accident at the age of 2 1/2. He had stood up in a shopping cart and it fell back, with his head landing on the hard floor. The shock of the fall had never been released and the pressure affected the ligaments and bones of his jaw. Within a half an hour the impact unwound itself and there was a noticeable change to his face. A week later the lower part of my son's face had toned up and began to realign. It was an amazing change."

- Donna (Holistic Health Administrator)

"My whole family has been going to Grettal and I am noticing a change in the way we interact. We are more loving and attentive to each other. We are working through our anger issues more quickly and we are able to communicate without going out of control."

- Rose (Interior designer)

"I have had srabysmus (lazy eye) and headaches for years. Treatments with Grettal has made a difference to my eyesight and my headaches are gone."

- Graydon (business consultant)

"I have suffered from depression and ended up taking drugs and going to a psychotherapist for an eating disorder. Sessions with Grettal revived my spirit. There were several unresolved issues that had bee buried deep down inside, asking to be sorted out. Grettal's caring intuitive abilities and bodywork guided me through to healthier perspectives and a deeper understanding of what made me behave in the way I did. I take more time for myself and l am learning to value me."
