Skills & Certifications
I've created Pause Breathe Move because my goal in life is to provide a safe, supportive environment for you to unplug from the mind, move through the body, and reconnect to yourself so that you can get on with living life.
​
Outside of years of lived experience with heightened stressful living due to anxiety and depression, I have spent the last 8 years learning, exploring and discovering pathways to support myself during times of stress.
Listed are some of the certifications I have acquired during my own journey of stress management. While the education and skills learned in these courses has shaped my offerings, I know I couldn't have moved through stress without learning how to move it through my body. And I did this with the guidance and love of many skilled and compassionate women.
Restore Scar Therapy Ltd ™
Scar Therapy Practitioner Course​
​
​Scar therapy and treatment works to enhance the healing of old and new scars caused by trauma or surgeries. Restore scar therapy works with the different layers of the body to release the tension stored in your fascia which then stimulates the lymphatic system to process the old scar tissue and pressure of the skin around the scar area.
Holistic Health Training ™
NZQA Level 3, Certificate in Holistic Massage Therapy
What makes holistic massage therapy different from other kinds? In Holistic Relaxation Massage Therapy, our purpose is not to fix any specific problem a client may present with. Holistic therapists, by definition, work with the whole person, not just a torn or tight muscle.
​
We are interested in supporting you to look after your whole self. Holistic Relaxation Massage Therapy supports the functioning of your nervous system which affects you as a whole person, including symptoms of physical and mental unease. An out of kilter nervous system often feels like tight muscles, headaches, tiredness, stress, anxiety, worry.
