Work With Hebe

Hebe uses a mind-body approach, combining  Somatic Experiencing,

EFT, Matrix Reimprinting and other energetic methods. She works

intuitively and collaboratively with the client to help them gain clarity

and insight around their patterns and the landscape of their nervous

system and psyche. She then assists the client in rebuilding the safety

and spaciousness needed, in the system, to process and integrate

survival responses and feelings that were not able to be previously

completed.

These approaches work directly with the energy body, the nervous

system, the subconscious mind and the creative mind; to alleviate

symptoms of trauma, dissolve unhelpful programming and to

rewrite your life-script. 

This is somewhere between coaching and therapy and encourages the client to recognise

their own power when it comes to healing and creating. It's a process of three parts:

  1. Finding the root of the issue - building awareness of the parts at play and how they show up.

  2. Rewriting limiting beliefs and stories; finding a new physiological landscape

  3. Imprinting this new way of being and integrating it mentally, emotionally, physically and energetically.

Hebe invites people to look at their lives and ask where there could be more freedom,

flow and love? She can work with a specific area of your life, such as relationships or career; emotional issues and illnesses; trauma, including shock-trauma; or it can be more of a general exploration that will, through the process of the work, lead to something more specific. 

Application of Practice

The ideal way to apply this work is would be one session per week, over an agreed period

of time so that the system has a chance to get into a rhythm of working. However, due to differing needs, paces and schedules, Hebe is happy to discuss what would be the best fit. Sessions can be held in person or online.

Duration

Sessions are 1 hour (or longer upon discussion) and can be booked in blocks of 3 or 6+.

"I can't express how grateful I am to have been able to work with Hebe. After almost 2 years of engaging with someone else in therapy for chronic pain, I decided to try someone new and I'm so glad I did - it was a full mind- body release on a very deep level. Hebe has facilitated a huge expansion in my healing journey, and has done so in a way that speaks to my spiritual nature. Her knowledge in energy psychology, the wisdom of the body and her care for clients creates a holistic and nurturing space to unpack oneself and come undone, only to leave feeling whole once again. Thanks Hebe!" - Rachel

"My main reason for reaching out to Hebe was for help with procrastination, gaining clarity and finding my voice since being newly self employed. Over the 6 weeks we worked together each session dug deeper into where these issues may be stemming from and how fear and frustration are showing up in my body and life. Each week naturally flowed towards a different focus and with Hebe's gentle guidance and radiating compassion, every session felt deeply healing. This work has gifted me so much clarity, it feels as if I've been able to imprint the future visions for myself deep within me and I have no doubt they are now attainable. Hebe does this in a way that is gentle and subtle, giving you space to feel and be guided by what is needed in each moment. I am so grateful for this experience and for Hebe's care, support and compassion. I couldn't recommend her enough." - Lara

What is Somatic Experiencing?

“Somatic Experiencing®” (SE) is a short-term naturalistic approach to the resolution and healing of trauma developed by Dr. Peter Levine. It is based upon the observation that wild prey animals, though threatened routinely, are rarely traumatized. Although humans are born with virtually the same regulatory mechanisms as animals, the function of these instinctive systems are often overridden or inhibited by the 'rational' portion of our brains. The 'animal' part of the brain is quite different to the rational part of our brain and the more upset we are, the less available to us our rational brain becomes.

 

Trauma happens when the nervous system becomes dysregulated because of an overwhelming response to perceived threat. It can result from a variety of stressors and

can seriously impair a person’s resilience and ease of functioning. 

The nervous systems speaks to us through the sensate language of the body and radically affects our state of mind; in fact, trauma underlies the vast majority of our personal and societal ailments. Thankfully, it’s becoming more and more recognised that the body is an essential component when it comes to emotional healing and SE gives us a language and methodology to be able to put this into action.

In a session, you will be guided through the process of tracking and reporting back your

bodily sensations and through doing so, touch into the symptom (physical, emotional or mental) in a safe and measured way that doesn’t re-traumatise the system. Through verbal and, occasional gentle-touch interventions, you will release stuck survival energy, learn to

self-regulate and resolve symptoms of trauma.

What is Energy Psychology?

Energy Psychology is a modality of healing that combines the Exposure Technique of

Western talking therapy, with the stimulation of the body’s energy systems (meridians, acupoints, chakras and heart). These systems have been used extensively by many

ancient cultures to access the body’s natural healing ability.

The premise of Energy Psychology originates from the quantum belief that, first

and foremost, we are energetic beings. We are essentially made of one energy - from

the atoms that make up our physical body, to the thoughts and emotions that determine

the health of those atoms. Once we appreciate this fact it opens a whole new understanding of how we can allow healing to happen. EFT and Matrix Reimprinting are modalities of

Energy Psychology.

EFT consists of gentle tapping on Meridian hot spots while focusing on a problem.

This brings balance back into the energy and nervous system whilst rewiring neurological pathways. Once these blocks have been cleared from our systems, they can be

reprogrammed with new belief systems that will enhance our wellbeing and help

the body continue to heal.

Matrix Reimprinting is a follow-on from EFT and serves to rewrite memories and future projections. Because the subconscious mind does not know the difference between real

and imagined events, we can harness this phenomenon by restructuring neural pathways

to create a new concrete reality.
