At Nannup Wellness Centre, we believe everyone holds the innate ability to heal.
What is Sound Therapy?
Sound Therapy is a holistic healing approach that uses sound vibrations to promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It involves using instruments like singing bowls, tuning forks, gongs, drums, or even the human voice to create therapeutic sounds and frequencies.
The idea behind sound therapy is that everything in the body has a natural vibration, and when these vibrations get out of sync due to stress, illness, or trauma, it can affect our health.
How does Sound Therapy work?
During a sound therapy session, the practitioner uses various sound tools or vocal tones to produce vibrations that interact with the body’s energy fields and cells. These vibrations help to restore harmony and balance by breaking up stagnant energy, reducing tension, and encouraging relaxation.
People often experience a deep sense of calm, emotional release, and sometimes even physical sensations like tingling or warmth as their body resonates with the healing sounds.
Benefits of Sound Therapy can include:
Deep relaxation and stress reduction
Relief from anxiety and emotional tension
Improved mental clarity and focus
Support for emotional healing and balance
Enhanced quality of sleep
Reduction of physical pain and muscle tension
Improved energy flow and vibrational harmony
Increased sense of peace and well-being
Supports meditation and mindfulness practices
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing practice that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word “Reiki” comes from two Japanese words: “Rei” meaning universal, and “Ki” meaning life energy. So Reiki means “universal life energy.”
It’s based on the idea that this life energy flows through all living things, and when it’s balanced and flowing freely, we feel healthy and vibrant. When it’s blocked or low, we can experience physical, emotional, or spiritual discomfort.
How does Reiki work?
A Reiki practitioner acts as a channel for this universal life energy. During a session, they place their hands lightly on or just above the recipient’s body in specific positions. The energy then flows through the practitioner’s hands into the recipient, helping to clear energy blockages, promote relaxation, and support the body’s natural healing process.
People often report feeling warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, or a sense of peace during a Reiki session. It’s gentle and safe, suitable for all ages and conditions.
Benefits of Reiki can include:
Promotes deep relaxation and stress relief
Reduces anxiety and emotional tension
Supports physical healing and pain relief
Enhances mental clarity and focus
Balances energy flow throughout the body
Encourages emotional healing and release
Boosts the immune system
Supports spiritual growth and self-awareness
Improves overall sense of well-being
Can complement conventional medical treatments
What is Acupressure?
Acupressure is an ancient healing technique that comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves applying gentle pressure to specific points on the body, called acupoints, to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities and restore balance.
These acupoints lie along pathways called meridians, through which life energy, or Qi (pronounced “chee”), flows. When this energy flow is blocked or unbalanced, it can cause pain, tension, or illness.
How does Acupressure work?
A practitioner uses their fingers, thumbs, or sometimes elbows and tools to press, massage, or tap these acupoints. By stimulating these points, acupressure helps to release blocked energy, improve circulation, and encourage the body to heal itself.
Unlike acupuncture, acupressure does not use needles — it’s completely non-invasive and gentle.
Benefits of Acupressure can include:
Relief from muscle tension and pain
Reduction of stress and anxiety
Improved digestion and energy flow
Support for headaches, nausea, and insomnia
Enhanced overall relaxation and well-being
What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a gentle, holistic healing modality that works with the body’s subtle rhythms and natural ability to heal itself. It’s an evolved form of craniosacral therapy that focuses deeply on the body’s internal processes and life forces to encourage balance and well-being.
The therapy works with the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord, as well as the subtle movements of the whole body. This system plays a key role in supporting the nervous system and overall health.
How does Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy work?
During a session, the practitioner uses light, compassionate touch—often very gentle and barely perceptible—to connect with the body’s internal rhythms and natural healing forces. Rather than “fixing” symptoms directly, BCST supports the body’s own intelligence to release tensions, resolve trauma, and restore balance.
Clients often experience deep relaxation, a sense of peace, and sometimes emotional release or shifts in physical symptoms as the body realigns and heals itself.
Benefits of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy can include:
Relief from chronic pain and tension
Reduction in stress, anxiety, and trauma symptoms
Support for headaches, migraines, and nervous system disorders
Improved sleep and emotional well-being
Enhanced overall vitality and resilience
What is Therapeutic Massage?
Therapeutic Massage is a hands-on treatment that involves manipulating the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. It aims to promote healing, relieve pain, reduce stress, and improve overall physical and mental well-being.
Unlike a general relaxation massage, therapeutic massage is often tailored to address specific health concerns, injuries, or chronic conditions.
How does Therapeutic Massage work?
A trained massage therapist uses various techniques such as kneading, stroking, deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and stretching to target tight or painful areas. These techniques help to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, break down scar tissue, and improve flexibility.
By stimulating the body’s circulation and nervous system, therapeutic massage supports the body’s natural healing processes and helps to restore balance and function.
Benefits of Therapeutic Massage can include:
Relief from muscle pain and stiffness
Reduced stress and anxiety levels
Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage
Increased range of motion and flexibility
Alleviation of headaches and migraines
Enhanced recovery from injury or surgery
Better sleep quality
Boosted immune function
Overall sense of relaxation and well-being
What is Wellness Coaching?
Wellness coaching is a supportive, client-focused process that helps individuals make sustainable lifestyle changes to improve their overall wellbeing. Unlike therapy, which often focuses on healing the past, wellness coaching is future-oriented — helping clients set goals, overcome challenges, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life. It can address areas like stress, nutrition, exercise, work-life balance, self-care, sleep, and personal growth.
How does it work?
Wellness coaches work collaboratively with clients to:
Clarify what “wellness” means to them
Identify areas of imbalance or concern
Set realistic and meaningful goals
Build motivation and accountability
Create practical action plans tailored to the client’s lifestyle and values
Sessions may include reflective questioning, values clarification, goal setting, and progress tracking. Coaches support clients in overcoming internal and external barriers, encouraging sustainable change through encouragement, insight, and accountability.
Benefits of Wellness Coaching
Improved physical and emotional health
Greater clarity and direction in life
Increased motivation and self-confidence
Better stress management and emotional resilience
Support for healthy habits in nutrition, sleep, movement, and self-care
A sense of empowerment and personal responsibility
