Introducing Kristina Weston sharing her experience with communication with water.
“Allow me to reintroduce you to Water - not as a mere substance, but as a living, liquid intelligence. Water as a way to know Thyself.
Let me reacquaint you with Her crystal language - a language beyond words, one that speaks directly to the Soul.
What would you ask if you knew She was not only listening but responding?
Through the Art of Water Crystallography, we learn to decipher Her messages coded in Hydroglyphs, the frozen symbols in ice, rich with layered meaning.
I invite you to step into this liquid crystal world, where Water is more than you ever imagined. She is an Artist, a Healer, a Communicator, a Confidant, a Mirror. A Bridge between the physical and the unseen.
Ready to begin the conversation with Her?
It’s been a wild ride at times, and I can’t wait to share some of what I have learnt with you.” Kristina Weston.

Simple Change, Big Impact
Buteyko Breathing Method and Ortho-Bionomy®
"While the Buteyko Breathing Method teaches natural breathing management, Ortho-Bionomy® helps to integrate your new breathing skills."
Be prepared to have what you thought you knew about breathing turned upside down. E.g., did you know the more you breathe the less oxygen you get? Were you aware that deep breathing is a western health disaster? Delve deeper into these seemingly outrageous statements and learn how Nicky was able to use her breathing knowledge to overcome a lifelong phobia of public speaking and 13 years of epileptic seizures.
This fascinating presentation is of relevance to anyone who breathes, and particularly to those with breathing related conditions - asthma, hay fever, snoring, sleep apnoea, nasal congestion, chronic cough, anxiety, migraine, hypertension and impaired sporting or speaking performance.
Nicky is a a member of the Buteyko Institute of Breathing Health. She runs the Breathing Clinic in Nelson and is one of only a handful of full-time Buteyko specialists in Aotearoa. She has considerable experience running her own clinic, offering assessments using capnography and teaching groups and individuals, in-clinic and online, throughout NZ and internationally.
"Combining Buteyko breathing and Ortho-Bionomy® aligns the physical structure, fascia, and nervous system (vagus nerve) for optimal benefits."
German-trained nurse Julia switched gears in 2014 (NZ) to Ortho-Bionomy®, a gentle, noninvasive body work which stimulates self-corrective processes within our body. Registered since 2018 (OBNZ & SOBI) Julia is, the sole provider south of Christchurch.
Ortho-Bionomy® offers an effective, long-lasting approach to a wide range of conditions, utilizing a gentle yet powerful form of bodywork therapy. Particularly helpful for addressing both acute and chronic pain. Ortho-Bionomy® works with the whole body to promote healing.
As a somatic bodywork therapy, its techniques create opportunities for a change to occur, facilitating balance and promoting shifts and alignment within the musculoskeletal and organ systems.
It also addresses the nervous system, fluids, hormones, craniosacral issues, scars and fascia.
Due to its gentle nature, Ortho-Bionomy® is suitable for a wide range of problems and conditions. It supports your body's natural healing processes, promoting optimal functioning and balance.
