HYPNOTHERAPY:

Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation and comfort. Watching an absorbing film or day-dreaming are two examples of our everyday experience of hypnosis, where we drift to a different state of consciousness. Hypnotherapy has been used in many beneficial ways to promote health, overcome phobias and unwanted habits and deal with anxieties in positive and effective ways. 

During hypnosis, a person's body relaxes while his or her thoughts become more focused and attentive. Like other relaxation techniques, hypnosis decreases blood pressure and heart rate, and alters certain types of brain wave activity. In this relaxed state, a person will feel very at ease physically, yet fully awake mentally.

There are several stages of hypnosis and the actual hypnotic process entails:
1)  Reframing the Presenting Problem
2)  Becoming Relaxed
3)  Becoming Absorbed (Listening to the words or images presented by the hypnotherapist)
4)  Letting Go of Critical Thoughts
5)  Responding
6)  Returning to Usual Awareness
7)  Reflecting on the Experience

EDUCATIONAL KINESIOLOGY:

There are no learning disabilities, only learning blocks. Through the therapeutic use of Educational Kinesiology these learning blocks can be removed and the individual’s full potential can be achieved.

Educational Kinesiology (Brain Gym) is a process that offers great ways to integrate the brain and body for enhanced learning and performance. It teaches new ways to integrate both sides of the brain so that optimal performance can be reached. It is also used as a means to assess which uninhibited reflexes might still have an influence in a person’s life and it is also a tool with which these problems can be eliminated.

Educational Kinesiology uses movement to enhance brain-body integration and move us out of “stuck” behaviour patterns, created by stress and lack of motivation. By the application of stylized sequential movements, it is possible to give the brain a “second chance” to register the reflex inhibitory movement patterns. As aberrant reflex activity is corrected, many of the physical, academic and emotional problems of the child will disappear.

A neuro-developmental approach concentrates upon assessing the functioning of three systems fundamental to academic learning:
•  The reception of information through the sensory channels
•  Processing of sensory information in the brain
•  The repertoire of responses available to the child with which to express himself
