The smartest thing in the room is the intelligence expressed in our bodies… This is the underlying principle on which Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is based.

BCST takes a whole-person approach to healing and the inter-connections of mind, body and spirit are deeply acknowledged. In the biodynamic paradigm, therapists are taught to be highly skillful at listening to the body’s inherent health mechanisms. The therapy encourages the forces of health to set the priorities of the session and to bring about natural adjustments from within the body’s own resources. It is hallmarked by a strong interest in the holism of the human experience where both the body’s anatomy and physiology are related to in real time with the subtle forces of life that act through the interface of the body’s fluids. Subtle movements in the body’s fluid and tissue fields are being listened for and the natural movement towards stillness and reorganization is seen as deeply resourceful as the system orientates towards health..
The simplicity of this therapy is its beauty.

The practitioner establishes a relational field wherein the body feels safe and protected thus allowing the process of the treatment to unfold. The practitioner is interested in facilitating the body towards deep intrinsic reorganizations across the body’s tissues, its fluid matrix and its energetic and emotional layers, so that there is a holistic movement towards greater health and release. The therapy creates a safe space for traumatic experiences to emerge and resolve smoothly without being overwhelming or re-stimulating. Also resetting the central nervous system out of flight or fight which can just be switched on by our busy lifestyles. Suitable for all ages.

**Please note, at this time, Kate is offering VIRTUAL appointments only. For availability, please contact: hello@activebalancehealth.ca or 403.993.6337**

In Kate’s clinical practice, she listens for what is coming up for the client and then tailors her techniques to meet the needs of her client. The focused relaxation of hypnosis is a safe, natural state and one which you have experience many times before (sometimes many times a day). You are aware and in control at all times. It feels like being half awake and half asleep, so your body is very relaxed and your mind is active.

You hear the majority of what your hypnotherapist (Kate) says and sometimes consciously drift away from the words towards a deeper level of consciousness (still aware), so it feels very relaxing. Your most hypnotic times of day are upon awakening or before you go to sleep, so this will feel natural. Hypnosis feels very comfortable and in this quiet state, your mind is more responsive to the positive suggestions. Everybody enjoys their sessions, as it’s time for you to relax, unwind and focus on your goals.

By guiding your attention toward a relaxed state your subconscious is free to bring things to the surface that are hindering you from a full and free life.

Hypnotherapy is completely safe and effective for dealing with traumatic events of the past whether it is in your childhood of long ago, a recent birth memory that is getting in your way, or those micro-traumas that keep us in a cycle of negativity, despair, or stuck

It is her experience, and the experience of others, that long term change and emotional freedom will require several sessions. This gives your mind and body sufficient time to truly release and successfully rewire your neuropathways for long term change. For a one time birth trauma, 3 sessions will likely bring release for you. Long term trauma, or life micro-trauma, it is her recommendation to 6 or more sessions.

Come spend the day with SIX expert health professionals who each have years of experience and are moms themselves. These ladies have all been there and know what that first year with baby feels like. This workshop includes handouts to keep, light snacks, water, coffee and tea.  Moms are welcome to bring a lunch or go get lunch during the break.

MUSCLE ACTIVATION TECHNIQUES – MATm, PTS Works with compensation patterns that have led to stiffness, loss of range, or debilitating pain. Delivers a cutting-edge treatment called Muscle Activation Techniques which helps to reset the neuromuscular imbalances that the body exhibits.

Sarah Kuindersma Muscle Activation Techniques Master Specialist

Meet Sarah Kuindersma, a passionate Muscle Activation Techniques (MATm) specialist and Personal Training Specialist (PTS) dedicated to helping individuals reclaim their optimal health and revive their favorite activities. Sarah believes in a patient-centered approach, and is committed to delivering active and comprehensive care, addressing compensation patterns that result in stiffness, loss of range, and/or pain.

Muscle Activation Techniques (M.A.T.), is a specialized approach dedicated to identify and correct muscular imbalances.

Over time, the wear and tear of stress, trauma, or overuse can lead to inflammation, compromising your muscular system’s efficiency and neuromuscular function. This breakdown in communication between your nervous and muscular systems can result in altered mechanics, muscle tightness, pain, and other physical concerns often associated with aging.

Ever catch yourself saying, “I feel so much older than I actually am”? This sensation often signals that your body is fatigued from overcompensation, making M.A.T. an ideal solution for you. Our goal is to re-establish communication pathways between your nervous and muscular systems, ultimately restoring your muscle contractile capabilities. One of the primary signs of inefficient contractile abilities is limitations in your range of motion. A.K.A. feeling stiff or like you’ve lost your flexibility.

Imagine a world where movement is effortless. M.A.T. aims to provide your brain with a more efficient solution for recruiting muscles to move, making you feel better and perform better. If you’re actively training, M.A.T. can also play a pivotal role in helping you recover faster between intense sessions, translating to quicker gains. Elevate your well-being, experience the benefits of M.A.T., and book a session with Sarah today. Let’s embark on a journey where movement becomes synonymous with joy and vitality!

Maybe your birth happened many years ago, but you were never “allowed” to process what happened. Its never too late to release life’s happenings. What if my issue isn’t related to birth?

Life hands us daily experiences that can result in ‘micro-traumas’. Do not underestimate what Covid and lockdowns are doing to your psyche! Micro-traumas can result in:

~ Increased feelings of anxiousness ~ Sleep loss ~ Weight Gain ~ Sadness ~ Inability to focus ~ Feeling ‘stuck ~

Sessions, using a combination of techniques, can bring a positive shift in your life toward ‘unstuck’ and growth. For permanent long lasting change, Kate recommends a series of sessions spaced over a few months. More sessions allow for time to release and then to rewire neuropathways. Hypnotherapy is not usually a lightening strike, more likely you’ll become aware of gentle gradual shifts.

A hypnotherapist does NOT plant ideas into your brain while you are asleep, rather, listens to what your subconscious mind is bringing forward for attention and release.

Hypnotherapy is very safe and effective for dealing with traumatic events of the past whether it is in your childhood of long ago, or a recent birth memory that is getting in your way.
