Hi, I’m Karen Woods.
For many years I've been a practitioner of natural therapies, helping clients address the issues they're struggling with and helping them clear

the mental and emotional trauma that overwhelms them.

I've had my share of mental and emotional trauma growing up and recently experienced an extremely traumatic event that left me with
severe PTSD. 
 

I found that severe trauma puts your system into such a mess that it
puts blinkers on you where you just can't see how to heal yourself or
the next step to take.
It's like there's an alarm sounding and flashing and that's all you're able
to hear - your system in overload.
For me, I eased myself out of it by being creative, just enough over time where I started to realise I had a healing tool box I wasn't even using

to heal myself. 
I couldn't even fathom how this was possible when the spiritual side of life was my whole life - I breathed it day and night.
I had meditated every day for over 30 years yet trauma put me into such
a spin that it didn't even enter my mind. 

After many months of coming back to myself I started to incorporate the

gentlest healing I knew and this dissolved so much of the built up

emotions I was carrying in my system that I began to heal. 

I learned about triggers and was so surprised that salt and sugar
expands your thought centre like any other stimulant, legal or illegal. 
They speed up your nervous system and then the trauma that has

been absorbed there starts to seep out and you feel like you're having

another extreme attack of anxiety or fear.

It can set you back a lot until you figure out what's actually happening, that you're causing those reactions by what you're ingesting.
No doctor ever warned me of this.

I learnt a lot from my trauma and have now healed myself back to normal, if you can call it that, cause you'll never be the same again after you've experienced a huge trauma.
So let's just say, I've healed myself back to the new me. 

I know that the key to recovering from PTSD is working with the invisible layers of the body and psyche.
Dissolving built up emotions to settle your system down so you can then start working with the intelligence of your own natural healing ability -
the spiritual part of you that knows how to heal you but it won't do it automatically. It won't override the free will of your soul until you give it specific instructions to heal you, step by step.
So in session, we connect with it and engage it for healing. 
I do this for you and show you how you can do this at home for yourself.

It pains me to hear of people, especially Veterans and Emergency Service Workers, not getting the help they need to recover from PTSD.

 "Hand on heart" I can help you recover when we work together with the

natural ability of the whole of who you are, to heal you.
