Transformative Healing

Most of our lives we are reactive, rather than reflective. We spend our time searching, not sourcing; looking, not listening; finding, but not feeling. We involve ourselves in life, forgetting often how to evolve ourselves in life, not realizing it's essential--and healthy--to be on both pathways at the same time.

The Gift of Presence

My gift in my work is to give you to a strong sense of presence. Once you are fully in the moment, you have the potential to see, and to change. This work enhances your sight, and your other senses, so that you are more in your body, more in your senses, and more able to understand and improve your pathways toward health.

I enjoy being able to offer you many new ways to see yourself, through words, yoga, and gentle, empowering touch. My goal is for you to embrace your own abilities at creating wellness in your life.

My approach is always for integration, for all the parts of your self to come together for your highest good. The potential for integration is very strong when you are going through an important life change. This is the time when you need to be able to resource yourself deeply, which can result in great learning and healing.

The best part of doing Inner Work is being able to face ourselves, and when we do that, we are able to see, rather than react. Freedom--and health--begins where our fears end. Thank you for giving me the opportunity of serving you!

Training
My formal training totals 1100 hours in the areas of Polarity Therapy and Craniosacral Therapy. The work I offer goes beyond the bounds of traditional massage. Most sessions include verbal dialogues, as well as consultations on yoga postures beneficial to your long-term health. All "touch" sessions use very gentle contact and are designed to complement the direction established through the initial consultation. Together we facilitate your own body's ability to heal itself.

Five Types of Sessions

    All sessions are two hours unless noted otherwise. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and drink plenty of good water before and after your session. I will give you a follow-up form to take home with you with suggestions on yoga postures, Inner Work, and Polarity nutrition.
     
  Polarity Therapy
    This therapy lets you explore the energy pathways in your body. Rediscover sensations you may have lost; learn about the five elements: Ether (space), Air (movement), Fire (action), Water (creativity), and Earth (structure), and recognize how they are stored and utilized in your body. Includes recommendations on yoga postures and nutritional counseling. A great way to "wake up" your body and learn more about yourself in the process. Based on the Transformative Healing work of Randolph Stone, N.D., D.O., D.C. (1890-1981), as taught to me by John Kemper, RPP, and John Beaulieu, N.D., Ph.D., RPP.
     
  Craniosacral Therapy
    Experience the fluid potency of your body, how your craniosacral fluid (CSF) is a key element in your wellbeing. Sessions are very quiet, gentle, leading to stillness. A great way to "charge up" your system while you are in deep, conscious relaxation.
This healing modality is primarily sourced from the groundbreaking research on the cranial mechanism by William Sutherland, the American osteopath (1872-1954);
it was taught to me by Paul Vick, a colleague of Franklyn Sills, both of whom teach and practice in England.
     
  Nine Dimension Sessions
    During this session, I play Michael Stearns' Journey through Nine Dimension CD and energetically assist you as you experience these dimensions in your physical body. A very powerful experience.
     
 

Energetic Counseling.

   

You are gently guided to find energy blocks within yourself, based on past or present traumas. Using words that empower, these sessions reawaken you to the potency of your own insights and intentions. Generally done while you are seated and in a light state of trance. Sessions run for 90 minutes. Breathwork is included in these sessions. Training for this therapy is based on the work of Peter Levine, Stanley Kelleman, Andreas Lederman, and Milton Erickson.

     
 

Polarity Yoga

   

I work with you in these sessions on yoga postures that will help you move through any physical discomforts you may be experiencing. Gentle, individualized yoga postures are given to you to work on during the session and at home, based on how your body is expressing the five elements. Great for beginners and advanced yoga students alike. Based primarily on the contemporary application of Dr. Stone's research by Thea Beaulieu, RPP.


My Bowen Island, BC, Sessions:
January through June 2012

I will be working one weekend per month, starting January 20-22, for the winter/spring of 2012. You can book a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday session in each of those months. Ideally, you'll book once a month over three months in order to get the full benefit of the work. My specialty this spring will be "Nine Dimensional Healing" as we enter the significant year of 2012. My sessions will continue to be two hours at a price of $120; seniors and students are $90. A series of three sessions is highly recommended to get the full benefit of the work. Please contact me at gctrav@earthlink.net for further information. Be well and enjoy the deep meditations winter offers. Also, take a look at the classes I am offering in April and June, if either or both are of interest to you or to a friend.

Introduction to Polarity Therapy: Balancing the Five Elements April 20-22, 2012 o Bowen Island, BC o Gerry Clow, RPP, CST

This is a course open to beginners as well as to healing arts practitioners. I will teach four students, using two tables, in my studio on Bowen Island. We will cover the basics of Polarity Therapy theory, and learn the General Protocol on Friday evening from 4-7PM. On Saturday, I will demonstrate the protocols for Ether and Air from 9-1:30, and Fire from 2:30-5, with a brief day-end discussion; students are invited to bring a light snack, and a healthy vegetarian soup and salad will be provided. On Sunday, we will cover the protocols for Water and Earth from 9AM-3PM. Students are encouraged to purchase and read John Beaulieu's Polarity Therapy Workbook (available online from Amazon) and/or Richard Gordon's Your Healing Hands. I will provide handouts for each protocol and have numerous books on Polarity Therapy available for review. This course is an excellent opportunity to discover the benefits of three levels of touch and to connect with the lines of energy within each of our bodies. Once energy blocks are moved, our energy flows and we inhabit our bodies more easily. I will send more information on "Polarity Therapy and the Elements" to each enrolled student in advance of class. To hold your space, you will need to make a deposit of $50 via check by March 22. We also need four students in order to hold the class. Tuition is $150. This course will provide 15 hours of CEUs to practitioners needing ongoing training.

Introduction to Craniosacral Therapy: Presence, Potency, Life Force June 15-17, 2012 o Bowen Island, BC o Gerry Clow, RPP, CST

This class again is open to beginners and to experienced body workers. The essence of the work is the approach to the client, which requires a review of your own contact with others. We will review levels of sensitivity in being with a client on Friday night; then move into a series of sensitive "listening" positions (ankles, hips, shoulders, cranium) on Saturday and Sunday. The hours will be the same as the class above: 4-7PM Friday; 9-1:30/2:30-5PM Saturday, and 9-3PM Sunday, and the pricing ($150) and deposit ($50, 30 days in advance) are the same as well. Four students will be required in order to teach the class, so bring along a friend or colleague! The intimacy of the teaching experience is worth the whole weekend. Bowen is a great place for a retreat, and this is a great way to enjoy it before the summer rush. We get to tune into the "tides" within our bodies as the tides of Howe Sound sparkle below us. Hope to see you there! (15 Hrs. of CEU credits)

For students who need to stay overnight, Bowen Island is gifted with many pleasant B&Bs. I recommend you go online and look for one on the eastern side of the island near Snug Cove and the ferry. Our home is a 20-minute walk from the ferry; we are on Miller's Landing, and we have numerous B&Bs nearby. Book early, as the good ones fill up months in advance.
