Caroline is a bioenergy therapist who loves helping people optimise their energy systems and speed up their healing process. One of the many highlights of her work lies in the fact that it brings relief to people by educating them about a pain-free healing approach that does not use drugs or surgery to correct an issue. Caroline’s intuitive skills allow her to calm a person and to listen whole-heartedly to what their body is trying to say.

After a session with Caroline, clients often feedback that their sleep approved and they enjoyed a quietness of the mind, uncluttered by endless brain chatter. Sports people also reap the benefits of bioenergy therapy, by connecting the metaphysical aspects of their injury to the physical self. Bioenergy therapy can help with knee pain, stress fractures, and strains. It also promotes blood flow, stimulates muscle activity and reduces discomfort.

Caroline is a passionate therapist who is keen to connect with local community, to teach them about the many benefits of this relatively unknown area of work. If you’re interested in supplementing your existing wellness routine, or trying a new approach to an ongoing issue or injury, reach out to Caroline today!
