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.

Keyflowers book launch & Ascension Meditation
Discover new ways to restore your emotional and physical wellbeing.
The heart of your wellbeing lies in your emotional body, enabling the restoration of your physical body. Angela and Savitri share two incredible and successful paths to emotional and physical healing. Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn more this coming Friday 23 August.
Angela Hair has just launched her new book about her ten year challenge with a brain tumour, probably caused by fluorine tablets given to her when she was 5 months old. This book is a light hearted look at serious issues, and also includes ideas about how we choose what we do in our lives. Angela writes about her early life in Gisborne, and through her grandad’s story, Hans and the Keyflowers, describe how she picked various keyflowers, before her daughter's health challenges led her to discover homeopathy.
This has helped Angela with her own health difficulties, and those of her clients. She explains the role of the Universal Energy Field in helping us to decide which paths to take in life, and how intuition and intention play an important part in our decision making. Through creativity, and development of conscious awareness, we become more evolved in our consciousness.
Angela has worked as a homeopath in Havelock North/Hastings for many years and in that time, researched and supported people with fluoride symptoms such as hypothyroidism, arthritis and bone pain, frequent broken bones, kidney problems, dementia and Alzheimers.

Handreading / Palmistry
Christopher Jones has been a leading figure in the world of handreading for 40yrs, has flown in from Auckland to share his skills and talents with us. Modern handreading - palmistry or cheirology, is a valuable tool for understanding ourselves better and living with authenticity. Scientific studies in recent years have highlighted the psychological and medical significance of the hand as a diagnostic tool. In today's palmistry, the focus is on the close relationship between the mind and body, emphasizing how they influence each other. It's all about using our hands to gain insights, fostering personal development for a more genuine and integral way of living.
The hand is a blueprint of the unique consciousness patterns that are you - for the hand is a map of your soul. The patterns of your hands reveal your strengths, your innate gifts and talents and can also show what is inhibiting or blocking you from your own spiritual unfolding. As you develop greater self-awareness of these internal forces, the clarity of self-vision will give rise to a clear sense of where to go next in your life.
This evening event is just an introduction to what he can do. Christopher is holding a day workshop the following day, please find more details in the WORKSHOP section.
