Holistic Programming

To meet the inner soul, one must first knock at its door.

At InsideOut Retreats, we understand that healing is a process, not an event. We define healing as the process of returning to the essence of who you are. No matter whether we are meeting you at the beginning of your jouney or well on your way, our aim is to provide you with the support and services you need. We recognise that it can be overwhelming to know where to begin when exploring new treatments and techniques. We also understand that the key to one person’s wellness is not necessarily the same for everyone. Our holistic program can provide you with a framework for your exploration while you gain insight into the different styles and techniques that work best for you. The program also provides a structured approach to those who already know how to navigate the treatments but who wish to create a series of treatments designed especially with their needs in mind.

What to expect

A holistic programmer will meet with you on your first session to assess your current health, aspirations and needs for your program. Our programmers are trained in any number of modalities from life coaching to energy therapies and are selected by their ability to support your initial and ongoing journey. The assessment will provide you a journal to begin to record your journey and experiences. It will include 5 sessions which will be selected by your needs and aspirations. These may be treatments, techniques, or forms of creative expression all of which are available to you through Inside Out Retreats. The program will run over an agreed period of time, during which you will meet with your holistic programmer on two other occasions to make any adjustments and provide additional support as needed. We believe if you knock at the door, it is our dream that you can truly meet with your inner soul.

Colour Therapy through Healing & Dance

Within every sunbeam, lay the essence of the rainbow... and in every rainbow, the essence of the sun.

Every rainbow contains the full spectrum of colour - a symbol of abundance, completion, potential and possibility. Every glimmer of white light has a rainbow at its core. At InsideOut, the rainbow, in all its splendour, is a key to healing. Each colour is energy vibrating at a different frequency and wavelength. Therefore, every colour has its own attributes to which we are both consciously and subconsciously attuned. You do not have to be able to see in order to feel the influence of colour on your life. Colour impacts us physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually because the vibration of colour and light impacts us energetically. Colour Therapy is the use of colour and light to balance the flow of energy throughout the body. It can be used to alleviate negative responses to changes in the distribution of the vibration of colour around us. By understanding how the vibration of colour influences the body’s chemistry and balance, we are able to literally follow the path of the rainbow to healing. Combining the energy of dance, healing through the chakras and the vibration of colour, this treatment is guaranteed to release, re-balance, and transform your energy.

What to expect

Through a process much like dancing the chakras, this treatment combines techniques of qigong, colour therapy, and energy healing with dance. This treatment can either be performed individually, as a subset of an energy healing session, or as a group dance similar in energy to that of the 5 Rhythms. Dress is casual and comfortable. Shoes are not advised in order to connect your feet with the energy of the dance. The treatment works with vibration to help restore emotional harmony and clear the path to healing. A session may work with any combination of techniques or tools such as meditation, visualisation, coloured light, or simple stillness. The therapy will be tailored to your personal needs and circumstance. Healing through dance and colour is a fantastic and cleansing ritual which promotes a sense of balance and harmony.

Emotional Freedom Technique

Unleash the spirit that it may dance, that it may sing, that it may fly

The Emotional Freedom Technique is a simple, direct approach to release and redirect blocked energy patterns in the body and mind. Through a simple tapping technique core emotional issues, as well as physical difficulties, often clear quickly and easily.  As with acupuncture and acupressure techniques, EFT works through releasing blocks in the flow of energy along meridian lines.  This form of "emotional acupressure" follows a pattern of tapping on specific meridian points.  Tapping while focusing the attention on a specific problem or area concern stimulated the meridians to help release emotional blocks, rebalance the flow of energy, support emotional wellbeing and promote healing at a cellular level. 

What to expect

An EFT session typically begins with a one-on-one conversation to help shed light on key areas of concern that may be giving rise to imbalances in emotional or physical wellbeing.  Once you and the EFT practitioner are able to clarify the areas in focus for the session, the practitioner will lead you through a gentle tapping sequence and sentence structure that will help you to draw out and release emotional imbalances or concerns with powerful and immediate results.  Combined with Energy Psychology or other complementary therapies like Kinesiology or energy healing modalities, EFT gives rise to deep and profound levels of emotional healing.

Energy Psychology

To become aware is enlightening
To heal the pain, is freedom itself.

An exciting and promising development in modern psychology, energy psychology combines traditional counseling techniques with energy healing techniques to support personal growth and self-awareness while also releasing the emotional and mental trauma that can so often stifle that process. An energy psychologist is a new kind of therapist and counselor, fluent in a holistic approach to both energy and psychology and integrating both into their disciplines. Energy psychologists have been trained in counseling as well as healing techniques such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), visualisation methods such as Emotrance or Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), and energy healing depending on the practitioner’s personal experience. The combination of tools and techniques is a wonderful support for transitioning us powerfully through the exploration and release of trauma or emotional blockages more quickly and effectively than often can be achieved through counseling alone.

What to expect

An appointment with an energy psychologist will feel much like a counseling session. Depending on your needs and personal circumstances, an energy psychologist may work with various tools such as EFT and Emotrance to help promote a positive shift in the emotional and energetic response that you experience regarding specific situations in your life. Each session is designed first to help you tap into a deeper understanding of your individual self to gain insights into the areas suppressing your personal freedoms today. The energy psychologist will then work with a variety of techniques to deepen that awareness and release the traumas and pains of those things which have held you in emotional bondage. This is a session designed to truly move you “beyond the mask” and into a place of inner freedom.

Dr. Hauschka Healing Facial

To work with the inner artist, is to refine the outer masterpiece. 

At InsideOut Retreats we work with both the inner and outer layer to help restore a sense of vitality at every level.  Our Dr. Hauschka facial, aims to restore life to the skin, so that the face may shine brightly and confidently.   Dr. Hauschka believes that to alleviate symptoms and the source of imbalances, its products must first honour the body's flow and energy system.  Dr. Hauschka's skin care products are both holistic and natural replenishing and nurturing the skin with the purest natural ingredients.  Estheticians work with the skin's natural rhythm to promote balance that reflects outwardly through the surface of the skin.

What to expect

The healing facial is both a restorative and meditative experience.  Though each esthetician operates individually, a Dr. Hauschka facial includes the gentle application of holistic products and facial massage.  The all natural approach to products and their application revitalises and re-balances the skin on many levels achieving an inner harmony that reflects your own masterpiece beautifully.

Healing Massage

Steady your breath, a sigh, relief, 
Open your hand, let go, release. 

At InsideOut we believe that massage is a form of both restorative and preventative care.  Massage is well embraced for providing relaxation, respite, and even recovery for the muscular and skeletal system.  It is widely accepted as a complementary therapy used for alleviating pain and promoting wellbeing.  At InsideOut, we embrace massage as a form of healing – offering benefits that go far beneath the surface.    Our therapists are trained in massage techniques together with complementary techniques to restore and rebalance the flow of energy throughout the body.  These techniques work at both a surface and a cellular level releasing physical tensions but also aiming to restore emotional and psychological wellbeing.  The combination of traditional massage techniques with complementary therapies such as kinesiology, reflexology, tuina massage, energy healing and others is the difference between ordinary and extraordinary. 

What to expect

The healing massage is relaxing and restorative.  Each therapist operates individually combining their training in various healing modalities and techniques with traditional techniques of massage.  Following an initial consultation, this treatment will focus on key areas of concern together with related points along the body’s natural energy lines known as meridians.  This massage focuses beyond the symptoms to restore balance to the ‘whole’ energy system.

Intuitive Healing

The hands that can listen for the pain are sometimes blessed with the eyes that may witness the miracle.

Not the surgeon, nor the miracle itself, but in each of us lives an instrument of healing, a surgeon’s finest tools.  Energy Healing is defined by many forms, techniques, and modalities all around the world as it spans global cultures and ancient medicinal traditions.  Techniques are complementary and work hand-in-hand with traditional medicine to enhance and promote healing at every level.  Most therapists offering energy healing have trained in a number of different modalities and traditions in order to learn to sense and work with the body’s natural flow of energy.  For the intuitive healer, however, each session may either combine of number of techniques or, as the style and method is quite individual to each healer, the session may be independent of technique and intuitively guided.  In an intuitive healing session, the healer combines both hands-on and hands-off energy modalities with inner guidance to help sense and ‘hear’ the deeper, cellular, source of physical, emotional, or energetic symptoms or traumas that have created barriers to the body’s natural balance.  As with all energy healing modalities, the intuitive healer works with the body’s natural Chi, or energy, to help promote or restore balance and a sense of wellbeing. 

What to expect

At InsideOut we embrace intuition as the sixth sense, and welcome those practitioners who have studied and integrated intuition as part of their treatment in order to provide a deeper understanding and awareness of what can help most in times of need.   An intuitive healing session is fully clothed, may work above or on the body, and may feel active or meditative depending on your personal sensitivity to the flow of energy within your body.    A session should leave you rested and re-balanced while the healing benefits continue to root and grow long after you leave the centre.

Kinesiology

The strongest muscle can not resist the power of its own truth.

They say the body knows everything, if only we would let it speak.  Kinesiology is like the body’s sign language, it is a technique that gives voice to the body’s own knowledge.  No form of strength training can provide resistance when the body knows it needs to heal.  Kinesiology is most commonly associated with ‘muscle testing’ and ‘energy balancing’.  It is primarily concerned with neuromuscular function and how it relates to the four vital and interdependent aspects of the human body: emotional, physical, nutritional and energetic wellbeing.  Kinesiology uses resistance techniques to help identify imbalances in health and wellbeing by noting responses to light pressure testing of muscle functions.  The treatment can take on many forms.  Some as simple as testing muscular resistance in varied conditions, may incorporate the use of allergens for testing for intolerances, or acupressure and firm reflex massage, fascia release, or other techniques as appropriate.  The exact treatment depends on the feedback your body gives through muscle testing. 

What to expect

Following an initial consultation to understand symptoms and areas for concern, the Kinesiologist will determine the most appropriate technique to help identify key areas of weakness or concern by testing the body’s response to various tests, mostly checking muscular levels of resistance and response under certain conditions.  This is most often achieved through light touch, but may incorporate other techniques to help address the areas of concern.  Treatments are given fully clothed and most often, but not always, lying down.  Kinesiology has been used to help assess intolerances, postural concerns, stressors, energy imbalances and many other ongoing illnesses and symptoms.  The body knows all it needs in order to heal.  The Kinesiologist helps the body to tell its story.

Intuitive Life Coaching

If only we knew we had wings
We'd take a step and fly.

At InsideOut Retreats our passion is your flight.  We offer coaching to help you explore your wings as you plan your route.  Life coaching is a set of one-on-one discussions structured to help you explore those things that lie deep within you that you dream of achieving in your life.  These can come in any form and be for any goal or set of goals that you have - or wish to find - by dipping below the surface to explore the aspirations that may lie dormant within you.  There are no boundaries or limits to what these may be for you and none are too small or too big to be explored. 

What to expect

An introductory session will help you uncover those ideas that lie within you.  No prior preparation is needed nor recommended.  Follow-up sessions will help establish a path to your goal and your coach will walk with you as you progress toward it.  The power of coaching lies as much in the process of personal discovery gained en route to your goals as it does in achieving the end result.  All you have to do to get started, is take a step to find your wings.

Sound Therapy

One does not require the faculty of hearing to experience the magnificence of a symphony.

Sound is vibration, an energy that moves within each of us long before we hear it.  Much like light and colour, each sound has its own unique frequency and wavelength, its own unique vibration and therefore its own unique energy.  By understanding the body’s response to each sound, Sound Therapists can use sound to help restore balance in the areas where energy may be blocked or in need of re-tuning.  Like a musical instrument, our bodies act in harmony when we have been finely tuned.  A sound therapist helps to achieve this through the use of vibrations that have been mapped to each of the body’s energy centres.  The therapist may use singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, or other instruments to surround the body with vibration to help restore physical and emotional balance and wellbeing.

What to expect

This treatment will awaken the senses.  It will breathe life to the body through a bath of resonance and vibration.  A sound therapist will work with you to determine key areas of emotional or physical tension or distress to better understand the key areas of focus for the session.  The therapist may use the vibration of sound alone or combine the treatment with the use of colour, visualisation, or energy healing to restore harmony to the body.  This is an incredibly emotive and relaxing healing experience.
