Cecily’s life long passion of living and inspiring a healthy thriving lifestyle has lead her through a trialing background of discovery and extensive trainings mostly rooted in the eastern philosophies of mind and bodywork.
She started in the U.S. in 2004 with a Diploma to teach Yoga in the Hatha Yoga Tradition. She then began traveling to expand her studies through deep immersion into different cultures and traditions of healing related to mind, body connections. This lead her to except a job teaching in Thailand where she fell quite ill and was introduced to the healing benefits of Thai Bodywork.
She spent the next 15 years studying and practicing an advanced version of Therapeutic Thai Bodywork Massage, along with Yoga, Meditation and Breathwork practices, and has since highly developed her ability working with clients to find and release the patterns holding and limiting the body’s natural ability to heal it’s self.
In 2017, Cecily was inspired to further expand her work and has since certified as a Health Coach helping people to break free from the negative habits of their conditioned mindsets and lifestyle choices so they can naturally align into a more sustainable thriving life.
She now lives locally on Australia’s Central Coast with her Husband and daughter, she enjoys exploring nature, developing community connections and friendships and most of all a good cupa tea!
About Cecily’s Advanced Therapeutic Bodywork Massage:
Cecily’s extensive background in the Healing Arts has inspired this transformational style of massage that integrates her past 15 years of trainings and experience working with the Universal Principals of Yoga, Meditation, Breathwork and Advanced Therapeutic Thai Massage.
Her technique focuses on the connection between mindset and subconscious thought patterns that become like holding patterns within the body, limiting the bodies natural ability to heal. She works gently but deeply throughout the fascia and connective tissue pathways, much similar to the nervous system pathways, helping to release any stored tensions, toxins or traumas. She’ll use light oils, supported stretching and slow but deep compression pulsing with some visualisation and guided breathing.
The sessions have a minimum time of 90 minutes and a maximum of 3 hours.
The longer session times are due to the fact that only when given the proper amount of support and time (usually 90seconds -3 minutes for each point) will the body then naturally soften it’s grip and allow for there to be an actual release of the tissue fibres without having to force anything which can cause unnecessary soreness and scar tissue. Cecily’s highly affective approach uses body listening and time as a tool.
Gravity is also an important component of her work. She uses a cushioned, thick, organic cotton mat the size of a single bed and plenty of bolsters of all sizes to optimally support her clients feeling grounded and safe to extend the limbs fully. She will offer different positions and stretches depending on the needs of the individual and always reminds you to feel gravity as a measurable way to know if you are resisting the complete release or not. (You can try it now… let go into gravity and see how many subconscious grips let go when you do 😉 Now take a deep breath…you just reestablished your mind body connection and are ready to take the next step in your healing process!
