Massage, Reflexology, Counselling, Psychotherapy and Reiki
Welcome to Chislehurst Holistic Health - I now practice in and around Bethersden, Ashford, Kent. and offer treatments at Longberry Farm, mobile, or on site.
My name is Kay Paterson-Oakes and I offer Complementary Therapies, including, Massage, Reflexology, Counselling, Psychotherapy and Reiki (Healing and Training).
I offer a one to one service and work together with you to promote self healing and well being. I began massage training in 1987 and then went on to study Counselling, Psychotherapy, Alexander Barrie system of pelvic correction, EFT and Reiki between 1991-2004.
I offer person centred therapy and after discussion with the client may include a combination of skills appropriate to the presenting condition.
Due to the eclectic nature of my skills I am able to offer treatments uniquely tailored to the person's needs at that time. This is dependant on whether the problem is physical, mental, emotional or spiritual in nature My contention is that each person is uniquely individual and I strive to support clients through body work or listening, honest feedback and clarification. As they work to achieve balance, acceptance and understanding of their own circumstances. Specialising in, increasing self confidence and self esteem. Pain relief.
Feel free to contact me on the telephone number or email address above and we can have a chat.
Massage
(Therapeutic, Remedial, Sports)
Therapeutic massage is the manipulation of the soft tissue of whole body areas to bring about generalised improvements in health, such as relaxation or improved sleep, or specific physical benefits, such as relief of muscular aches and pains.
Reiki
Reiki is a system of energy healing using spiritually guided life-force. A continuation of teachings given by Mikao Usui 1885 - 1926.
A commitment to honoring the Dr. Usui lineage. A useful tool for self-awareness and transformation. A non invasive therapy. Practiced throughout the world by people of all religions or creeds. It is used in hospitals, private practise, self care and in combination with other therapies. It is a superb complementary healing system on its own or in conjunction with other healing or wellness disciplines. Used every day it brings about balance and harmony in all aspects of life.
5 Reiki Precepts or ideals recited daily ( There are many translations from Usui's Japanese handwriting) Just for today I give thanks for my many Blessings, Just for today I will not worry, Just for today I let go of anger, Just for today I do my work honestly, Just for today I will honour and be kind to everyone.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a system of healing by pressing on various parts of the body. It gets to the cause of a body malfunction by restoring the energy flow to the body's many different systems and functions. In fact everyone can give their own reflexology treatments. Many people are aware of "Hands and Feet Reflexology". However using pressure points on the face, ears and body also cause a balancing effect on various ailments or pains else where in the body. It is not clear how this works, it is the contention, that certain points pertain to nerve endings of the relevant organ or body part. Science does not prove this. However many times during sessions with clients. It is reported that when I am working on a particular area sensation or pain is felt elsewhere in the body, seemingly unrelated to the area being worked on.
Psychotherapy and Counselling
Psychotherapy and Counselling are professional activities that utilise an interpersonal relationship to enable people to develop understanding about themselves and to make changes in their lives.
Professional Psychotherapists and Counsellors work within a clearly contracted, principled relationship that enables individuals to obtain assistance in exploring and resolving issues of an interpersonal, intrapsychic, or personal nature. Professional Psychotherapy/Counselling utilises Counselling, Psychotherapeutic, and Psychological theories, and a set of advanced interpersonal skills which emphasise processes of facilitation. Such processes are based on an ethos of respect for clients, their values, their beliefs, their uniqueness and the right to self-determination.
EFT
EFT is a psychotheraputic alternative medicine tool based on a theory that negative emotions are caused by disturbances in the body's energy field and that tapping on the meridians while thinking of a negative emotion alters the body's energy field, restoring it to "balance." There are two studies which appear to show positive outcomes from use of the technique, but another study has suggested that it is indistinguishable from the placebo effect. Critics have described the theory behind EFT as pseudoscientific and have suggested that its utility stems from its more traditional cognitive components, such as distraction from negative thoughts, rather than from manipulation of energy meridians.
Zero Balancing
Zero Balancing is a therapy that uses touch to address the relationship between energy and structure within the body. The work is gentle to receive but potentially powerful in effect, capable of helping a wide range of people at many different levels. Note that this is performed with the client fully clothed. Usually laying on their back.
