You are here as you are seeking something
To be here you likely have a womb – or had one.
You were born of woman. Her life dictated how you were made and who you became
Her life dictated the direction you traveled to get to here – and how you perceive life to be
Also how you feel about suffering and what lfe has dealt you with to get to your own balance in this.
If you are one who works with people, it is likely in these times of unrelenting social change, you may feel as burnt out as they are. Your body may take on some of their ‘stuff’, as they let go. You may have not cleared and protected as needed so as to not pick it up and carry it for them. In all aspects of life, as some of us are TOO sensitive: that is our super power. They seek refuge, and you dispense care as you can.
BUT – What about your heart, your body and your life ???
Some working the only way they can, are likely equally distressed by ‘the world’ as it changes without our consent. Putting on a ‘professional’ face may eventually leave us as broken those who seek our help.
You may know that getting back to womb is your central calling now
What to do?
So many offerings as to ‘womb work’. I developed Heather’s Gentling Way after decades of working mainly in the womanspace. When nothing else offered ‘worked’. My passion was and still is what moves the Qi.Taught classical acupuncture, body emabled (major teacher was a chiropractor. He was getting us work ready – for the context we lived in.
Structure Determines Function – and when womb is awry/misplaced, all is awry.
Out of balance/kilter – nothing CAN work as designed, body gives us massages, we ignore long enough – TROUBLE. Especially when cycling to make monthly baby nests,and all aspects of life will bend and seemingly break if we do not attend to the monthly changes. A health report card, mostly ignored, silenced and attempted to control. BUT .
How we manifest this as women will likely be through moon cycle, and then the seasons of our life (7 years cycles, and the Blood energy that runs them), rule us does NOT begin by moving her about. She is hidden, mysterious, and holds all that happened to you, your mum, carried from both maternal lines
We start with ourselves
Gentling Way trainees all come in with their own ‘baggage’
We were drawn to womb centred work
We had our own stories that led us there
We wish to offer what may have been missing for us in earlier times
We found answer sand now wish to expand our
We have had success in assisting others
We know there is more . .
You are here as you may also be seeking a missing piece
ABOUT Gentling Ways
In my initial acupuncture /body relieving (everyone came to seek help with pain) natural healing centre, I quickly found that those who relaxed, felt safe in my care let go of often astonishing hidden stored secrets. Releasing these, often with a gentle touch, allowed the healing they had desperately sought. I discovered that almost all gyne, and older women’s tableau of suffering lightened when we cleared what had held the body hostage. Letting the stories go.
I sourced, often commissioning, brilliant workers to create these helpers. Along the way, I designed my Moving Blockages to Healing acupuncture style, teaching others from 1981. Always on the lookout, using my own body as the ‘guinea pig’, I eventually found WOMAN’S ways. Not from a man’s world view.
I trained as an Arvigo worker with Rosita Arvigo and her teachers in 2014/16. Having begun in Qi moving and body aligning combined with a chiropractic acupuncture lecturer, as a new mum, I knew I needed to add in nutrition and what had been common knowledge. Also to be grounded in the modern culture I lived and worked in. My acupuncture body work from 1977 onwards, developed into pelvic centred trauma releasing. Moving Blockages to Healing and gratefully discovered the wise women’s ways.
This led me to Dr Jennifer Mercier’s work in late 2016, and me to weave all of this into Heather’s Gentling Ways – Living Ligaments trainings for those who also wanted to undo what was still STUCK in bodies, after everyone had tried their best efforts.
in these times when being ‘registered’/allowed to perform any service involving change – as a colonized guild – all following the same dictates (or else!!) and having to follow guidelines. Heather’s Gentling Ways follows life.
We begin with why the womb/body is in such a tangle. Having worked with those who had been significantly distressed by being a woman, with their own version of being broken early in their lives, and still attempting to journey through the stages of womanhood in a man’s world. My lifetime of following threads to weave what worked for all led me to bring a multi modality, multi lineage, multi dimensional Qi and body aligning different modalities into a new form – Heather’s Gentling Ways.
We work from ‘common sense
We follow nature. Cycles, seasons of life.
Setting up to win
‘Womb work’ is subtle, gentle & profound
We all carry Life residue
We clear, to become channels of Light and thus do not pick up what is less than this as we go about our days.
Thus we clear and protect constantly. Mechanical is a tiny portion fo Heather’s Gentling Way – as being STUCK does not allow your flows to flow.
Beginning with us . .
‘Helping/Healing Yourself – Gently’ will be renamed Awakenings
START – we construct a ‘tool box’ of helpers.
Week 1 – AWAKEN to calm. Unpanic yourself. Delving ever deeper. Safer as we use our tools
(‘hormones’ and why gentle ourselves through movements, pressure points, clearances, protectives and guided meditations to let go the past STUCK
Week 2 – AWAKEN to Being Woman – not through men’s lenses
Week 3 – AWAKEN to how our mother’s life made us and letting go the judgements of all that is locked within – as we release ourselves – and her.
Week 4 – AWAKEN to how a well body is directed by Qi and what we can do to live as we are made to.
Week 5 – AWAKEN to our responsibilities – our life – our choices. TAKE CHARGE
Week 6 – AWAKEN to our committemnet to being here, now and grow into the Light we came here to be.
Disclaimer: Change on all levels is needed and happens in our own time. Decades of working on the principles and ways of eliminating stagnant Qi, blocked lymph, entangled fascia, visceral contortions and thus structural misalignments has shown that everyone lets go at their own pace. Relief from the symptoms of a variety of conditions happens when the body no longer has to warn that the wrong way is STILL being taken. Change is needed if a change is sought.
The person assisting the sufferer is not in charge of this. Responsibility lies at the feet of the one who sought help. Thus no claim is being made that all recipients of Heather’s Gentling Ways will experience relief of their symptoms. Recipients of care will be more informed, inspired and empowered to seek their own resolution of the life events and residues that will stay ‘online’ as instructions with them until they do so. Their choice to stay STUCK, or free themselves.
We as fellow travelers, and as women encourage, and assist where possible. Gentling Way workers make no claim of specific results. The decision to allow change at the level needed is up to the seeker. Welcome to the world as it is dynamic, going through its own seasons and invites you to keep pace!
