Details: Area covered: Aldeburgh, Leiston, Saxmundham - by appointment from home, or home visits.
Trained by Gaston St Pierre founder of the Metamorphic
Technique, 1990 and Member of the Metamorphic
Association.
The Metamorphic Technique is a simple approach to self
healing and creativity within the individual. The
practitioner uses a light touch to focus attention on
the spinal reflex in the feet, hands and head, which
was found to correspond to the time before birth when
patterns were created. The practitioner does not
involve the treatment of symptons but provides
environment for change.
