AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVE THERAPY - FURTHER EDUCATION

For over 15 years l cared for my husband who suffered from cellulitis in his legs which eventually turned into lymphedema. Most of our lives revolved around him getting an infection, fighting it but then ending up in the hospital for weeks at a time.

Over the years he tried his best to work and provide for our family, but it was tough especially when he had no sick pay left. I became very adept at a variety of tasty soups! Then one-year things changed for the better after, yet another life threating infection l was so down l did some research to see what treatments were available overseas. Then I found the local lymphedema team, and after some amazing treatments, my husband slowly gained his health. He now has the knowledge to maintain the effects of Cellulitis and Lymphedema which will continue to affect his body for the rest of his life.

I knew then l needed to help more people and get the word out about Manual Lymph Drainage. I put myself through a Manual Lymph Drainage course (Casey Smith Level1 & Level2 in Christchurch) then complemented my therapy by pulling the funds together to attend a ‘Myofascial Release’ the course in Albany. I have seen many good results with a variety of clients in the last few years since applying everything l learned and continue to learn from the latest findings around the world.

Since researching further for therapies that would complement what l already do, l have found some amazing work being done with ‘Tension & Trauma Release Exercises’. It makes sense that Trauma and Tension are issues that can have a hindering effect around the body.

By learning more and testing some of the therapy on myself l found the effects-filled me with a great deal of enthusiasm to bring it to others. I really do feel the therapy would improve general health but also give people the skills to take home and maintain a feeling of wellbeing.

I am looking for help to get my training and certification in TRE which is a yearlong course. Initially, l thought l might get the deposit together and started selling off things but now l find it really is completely out of my reach. I really do find myself in need of some help, please.

I am a homegrown (NZ) therapist wanting to keep the treatment available in NZ, reaching more people out there who have just resigned themselves for the rest of their life’s to their aches and pains
