HOLISTIC HEALTH NATUROTHERAPY
Experience healing through a variety of peronsalized services to help you reconnect with your mind, body and spirit.
MODALITIES
In Manon's Holistic Health Naturotherapy practice, she works with babies to older adults and uses a variety of modalities based on each client's needs, interests and preferences. The two primary modalities she uses are Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) and Somatic Experiencing® (SE™). She often complement them with yin yoga or restorative yoga postures, and as needed with movement therapy/kinesiology, holistic nutrition counselling, and when appropriate with some elements of her training in shamanic energy healing.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle non-invasive, hands-on session for the whole body. Performed on a massage table with a very comfortable foam topper, the client is fully clothed and the practitioner touch is light and still. The session focus is to support the inherent health of the whole being, especially the nervous system (NS). The NS dictates all of the body’s functioning, constantly sending and receiving information. Biodynamic Craniosacral practitioners understand how an optimally functioning healthy nervous system performs.

Somatic Experiencing®
Somatic Experiencing (SE™) is a body-oriented therapeutic model applied in multiple professions and professional settings for healing trauma and other stress disorders. It is based on a multidisciplinary intersection of physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics and has been clinically applied for more than four decades. It is the life’s work of Dr. Peter A. Levine.
The SE approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma. It offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight or freeze responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states. SE provides effective skills appropriate to a variety of healing professions including mental health, medicine, physical and occupational therapies, bodywork, addiction treatment, first response, education, and others.

Private Yin and Restorative Yoga
Yin and Restorative Yoga practices both stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation. The practices help calm the mind, with your attention on the body sensations and breath. They’re both gentle and suitable for all ages and levels - from those who are new to yoga to experienced practitioners. While both Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga are slow-paced and stress-relieving practices, they are very different. Yin is all about stretching and applying gentle stress to certain tissues. Restorative Yoga is all about supporting your body and nervous system, allowing it to relax and heal.
