Bsc(Hons), Dip ISMgmt, Cert. Mass. Therapy
Greg first began learning massage in 1985. For him, massage training has been a long, enjoyable journey with different focuses. Graduation from the Wellington School of Massage in 2002 led Greg to starting up Revitalize in Partnership with Katherine Sinclair. One of Greg's interests is helping people through to better health through the use of a medley of modalities, hence the multi-therapy nature of Revitalize.
“With the fast pace of today's society, people need to invest in their health. Holistic bodywork is not a luxury; it is fast becoming recognized as a means of staying well and relaxed in the midst of the rat race.”
Bachelor of Engineering (Hons), Master of Business Administration, Diploma of Teaching, Diploma in Brennan Healing Science.
Martyn graduated in 2009 from the Barbara Brennan School of Healing (BBSH) in Miami, Florida after four years of study. BBSH is widely recognised as the foremost school in the world for training in energy healing, and Brennan's classic book Hands of Light is widely known and respected.
Martyn has always been fascinated by 'how things work', which explains his early interest in physics and engineering. After a successful career in teaching, engineering and international business he trained in energy healing to follow this deep passion.
Many clients come having exhausted the resources of western medicine, or mystified by some chronic condition which does not seem to have any clear cause. They are also unwilling to give up searching for that profound state of health and positive well-being they feel entitled to enjoy. Energy healing often brings relief and a way forward on life's journey, because it is based on specific assumptions about how the body works, and always seeks for the underlying cause.
For example, some diseases or illnesses do not originate in the physical body, but are simply expressed there. To restate a common phrase, 'the issues appear in the tissues'. The underlying cause may be in the realm of consciousness or pure energy (although the possibility of a physical cause is always checked out first). This realm includes memories, emotions, unhelpful reactive patterns, ingrained beliefs, learned habits and unresolved conflicts.
Energy healing provides a logical and systematic way of moving from symptom to cause. For more information go to www.energyhealing.net.nz
