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. |
