Touch is an instinctive, natural language that we all know and understand. Structured forms have evolved into what we now call massage, reiki or reflexology.
Touch is fundamental to the human experience and to healing. As a powerful medium for communication during healing, it has the profound capacity to nurture our well-being. The healing power of touch is amplified when the physical experience is combined with the emotional experience. This gives you the opportunity to feel with your physical body as you 'feel' with your emotional one.
The key for healing through touch is in the art of showing compassion. We all know the difference between the sympathetic therapeutic touch of a calm, centred therapist to that of a rushed, unfeeling 'business-like' touch.
Having worked with the ‘Changing Lives Programme’, part of the ‘Humanising Conflict Group’ in County Cavan, I know first-hand the importance of a compassion-based approach. "Sharon was chosen because of her expertise in working with survivors of emotional trauma in both the UK and Ireland."
