Gentle Release Therapy

Look out for this Autumns issue of Reflexions from the Association of Reflexologists as there is an article about Gentle Release Therapy and how it could support your reflexology practice!

Our 4 Day Gentle Release Vagus Nerve Course has been accredited by the FHT and ThinkTree.

Our next course begins Monday 4th November, and then continues with Day 2 on Monday 25th November, followed by days 3 and 4 on Saturday 11th Jan and Saturday 1st February.

We needed to space the treatment at at least 2-3 weeks apart to allow everything to process from the previous sessions, but this could will have a slightly longer break in the middle for Christmas!

You must have attended the Gentle Release Therapy Practitioner Training to attend this course as we build on those techniques.

Course Lists Updated 💗 If you can't make the dates for the course you are interested in, please do let us know and we can work something out together!

For me personally the Vagus Nerve treatments have resulted in many improvements in my world. On the whole I have more energy and more capacity to cope with life.

I'm finally running consistently and my mileage and fitness are improving, I'm loving it and my body is coping with that better than it has done since my teens (I'm 44 now), I'm sure it helps my recovery from exercise too.

I don't feel the need for sugar or caffeine to get me though the day and my appetite is more stable. My sleep is much improved, and rarely wake in the early early hours...just early enough to get out for a run!

I'm definitely calmer on the inside and cope and recover from stressful situations quicker. I think my recovery from illness is much improved too! I'm sure there are other things I've forgotten...but I'd love to hear your experiences if you have had a Gentle Release Vagus Nerve Treatment!

Our Practitioner Training Retreat in November is now fully booked, so we have just added an extra week in November. Also new Vagus Nerve Course dates added as the first 4 courses are now full!

Introducing the Gentle Release Therapy Vagus Nerve Treatment 🌱

Helen Robinson + Sara Agnew came together to develop the Gentle Release Vagus Nerve Treatment - a transformational therapy that combines the system of GRT with advanced techniques + wisdom such as Vagus Nerve Release, Nervous System Regulation, Polyvagal Theory, Brain Release + HPA Axis Release.

Working with the Vagus Nerve can help to regulate your heart rate, reduce blood pressure, promote overall cardiac health, promote healthy metabolism + digestion, reduce inflammation, regulate emotions, improve immune response, improve hormonal health, alleviate headaches + migraines, support anxiety + depression + improve your stress response.

Improving vagal tone is at the heart of enhancing our body's resilience + well-being, as outlined in polyvagal theory. The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in regulating the autonomic nervous system, influencing our responses to stress + our ability to engage with others. By enhancing vagal tone, we strengthen the communication between the brain + the body, promoting a state of calm + relaxation while nurturing our body's innate capacity for self-regulation + well-being.

The treatment is divided into 4 in-depth protocols. For most, this is carried out over a course of 4 sessions. The timeline in which you receive the treatments will depend on a number of factors, such as your current state of health + well-being, as well as how you respond to the sessions.

Both ourselves as practitioners + our clients have been blown away by the results so far. This week, we have began teaching our first two groups of practitioners. We are so delighted to share this work + help reach more people.

Treatments can be delivered in person + virtually.

We had a little trip to Ireland last week to finalise hand positions and take photos for the course notes of the Gentle Release Vagus Nerve Treatment. We also met the beautiful Zelda and Rhea 💗 (Sara's Golden Retrievers).

Heads are down this week getting course notes finished! The first 2 courses are full but we still have spaces on course 3 and 4.

The Gentle Release Spirit Points Treatment helps release blockages that are stopping you following your path to destiny, The first and last point of the treatment is Ren 8 at the Navel.

Here are a few of the comments our Practitioners have made about Ren 8

'I would say my favourite point is REN 8 because it is where all starts and ends, but not in a linear way but a cycle, the cycle of our destiny. The navel is where the umbilical cord links us to our mother, gives us all the nourishment that we need to thrive but on a spiritual level, that is where the Spirit (or Life I would interpret also) enters and exits. It seems that there is a lot of release and work to be done at this point, many people needing a lot of time to clear it.'

'I love Ren 8, I feel so much when working on this point. I love the how much releasing happens here and it feels amazing too.'

'Ren 8 was my favourite point, I was immediately interested in this point and the spiritual details of how it is affected by addictions, fear of sexual intimacy etc was relevant to experiences in my life so I really connected with this.'

Next Spirit Points Training is Wednesday 8th May on Zoom 9.30am to 4.30pm

Here is one of our testimonials from a lovely lady that did the Zoom Practitioner Training!

'I have always said life is like a puzzle that we build as we go along. Gentle release has completed my puzzle, and framed it. I am ready to walk the earth gently, and spread this gentleness by giving gentle release therapy to others.'

There are 12 Spirit Acupuncture Points and each of the points helps to free you from constructs of your life that are stopping you living in the path of your true destiny.

We use Gentle Release Therapy to intuitively clear the points rather than acupuncture, This treatment is deep and very powerful. Life can sometimes get a bit messy as the world sorts things out to get you back on path. However, it is said the aligning with your destiny will bring you joy, so your destiny will be a place of contentment and happiness. Whilst it is of a spiritual nature we have seen physical ailments resolved with this treatment too, and found it supportive for depression and anxiety.

A treatment would normally be either one two hour session or a couple of shorter treatments. One or two sessions can bring about powerful and substantial change.

We have been so overwhelmed with Scholarship Applications we had to take a break for a while, but yesterday we were able to offer a number of places for our upcoming courses.

Those may well be full now, but please feel free to complete our scholarship application form, as you may well be successful in the future.

It does take a lot of time and effort to give scholarship places away so please take the time to understand what Gentle Release Therapy is when you write your application.

Busy day marking case studies, and getting bits signed off to send practitioner certificates to 2 new Gentle Release Practitioners!

We now have further data from our High Blood Pressure Case Study. Her Blood Pressure has continued to gently drop following her second Vagus Nerve Treatment.

Amazing how the body can get back into homeostasis so gently when given such a Gentle and Nurturing Treatment 💗

Will keep you updated with what happens next!

We have been very excited to see Blood Pressure being positively affected following our new Gentle Release Vagus Nerve Treatment. We are rolling out the Vagus Nerve training to our Gentle Release Practitioners at the end of April!

Do you need some time for you, some time to gently let go? We still have one space left if you would like to join us!

What has laughing got to do with Gentle Release Therapy? Some people laugh as their way of releasing blocked energy! It always makes me laugh when they start!

I was marking some lovely case studies this morning, where the practitioner described her client as laughing as part of her release as she 'Gently Released' her spine. I remembered one of my clients had recently done the same, and it makes me smile to remember.

I hope it brings you a smile too! 💗

The next dates for our Virtual Practitioner Training are 22nd to 26th April 2024 9.30am to 2.30pm UK Time.

£455 for existing therapists or healthcare providers, £555 for those with no prior training.
