Kate Evans Energy Therapist

About Me Kate Evans - Remedial Body Therapist, BA Social Anthropology, Dip Sports and Remedial Massage, Dip.BCST, a member of PACT (The Pacific Association of CranioSacral Therapists) Based at Shine, my private Remedial body therapy and yoga studio in Oakura, Taranaki. I work through the body to create healing on all levels, physical, mental, emotional and ultimately spiritual. Through my years of training and running a private practice I know that where there is physical pain or conflict in the physical body this affects and may manifest in, and from, the other levels too. So healing one means healing the whole. After taking a Reiki course in 1999 I had a huge awakening to my healing hands and started becoming interested in the mind/body connection. I have since then become a Reiki Master, teaching over 500 people this healing art. I have studied EMF energy balancing and more recently Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Theta Healing. I have combined the many facets of my studies and have established a system that works. Through my work I have developed a skill of listening deeply with my hands. Your body responds to this sensitive touch by beginning to listen to itself. A feeling that you have been heard in the truest sense of the word is a common experience.

Treatments

Craniosacral Therapy Craniosacral Therapy is now available to you right here in Taranaki. Treatments are very gentle but often very profound. Clients usually report feeling great change, both in the moment and as days go past. The changes can be on any level, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual and is often on many levels. In this very gentle modality I use a very gentle contact to listen to the body with empathy. The premise is that the body knows how to heal its self. With the right support, empathy and resources the physical, emotional and spiritual systems of the body can realign and eliminate the source of pain or discomfort. CST is beneficial for any problem. From acute pain, stress and emotional situations to chronic pain, stress and emotions. It is suitable and safe for very small babies through to the elderly. Belief Work We all hold beliefs and limitations, some of these are useful and some really are not. These beliefs and limitations can be handed down to us generationally, through cultural or gender lines, through our own family patterns and our experiences growing up and in adult life, they can even come through from past lives (this is, of course, based on a belief on my part but one that I have found very constructive when working with some clients). Through belief work I can help you to unlock long held beliefs that are holding you back from reaching your full potential. This involves some dialogue to access the unconscious belief, then by using some exercises in brain sculpting and body awareness, we can find ways to release these patterns. For some people the healing from this can be extremely profound, even life changing. Reiki I have been working with energy in New Plymouth for 18 years now, as a reiki practitioner and teacher, using Reiki, the EMF Balancing Technique and intuitive energy therapy. I am continually amazed at the changes this work brings about in people. The load is lighter and they feel like they can cope with anything. Often issues are completely changed after we process the energy associated with them. We may no longer respond or react to them in the same way. Our reactions are often as a result of old habits, replaying the old story on an unconscious level. Once we can release the energy associated with an issue, we can start a new story one that is more supportive of the life we want to live now. I offer a number of ways of working with energy and I am more than happy to discuss your needs directly so that together we can work out which way you need to go. You will find me easy to talk to and I am experienced at getting to the heart of the issue. Shine Yoga Studio I am delighted to announce that Shine, my new, purpose built, Yoga and Remedial Body Therapy Studio will be opening on 10th October. In this boutique private studio (set in yet-to-be established private gardens) I will be offering classes in Hatha Yoga and Alignment-based Flow Yoga. There are early morning classes for workers, classes during school hours for Mums, restorative yoga for relaxation and classes for teenagers. I also offer one on one yoga classes or in small private groups at a time to suit you. The many benefits of Yoga Yoga is transformative on all levels. It has transformed my life in countless ways. Apart from the obvious benefits of greater flexibility and strength, a regular yoga practice improves digestion and organ function, joint mobility and breathing, it calms the mind and the nervous system, creates resiliency and healing in the tissues and in the mind. After 20 years experience as a body therapist, I know that mindfulness is an important key to unlocking healing and wellbeing. My teaching incorporates this attention to mindfulness through a focus on correct alignment and an embodied approach to your session. This brings about great change throughout your system on many levels.
