What is SHEN Therapy? SHEN is a touch-based bio-energetic framework primarily utilised for harmonising the emotional body.
When might SHEN therapy be best for me? When emotions are high and problematic, for stress in mind and body, for life transitions and held trauma, for opening the body to fertility, for general ease and relaxation, for conditions perceived as psychosomatic, and more.
Why is your business koha based?
The balancing and respect for energetic integrity is the work. Honour the person, honour the integrity of their challenges and their energetic unfoldment, and meet them where they are right now. Koha is keeping the energy flowing and honouring the giver as one is able. Prices are benchmarked on the website but according to one’s sense of honour, flexibility is there for more or less. Usury energies will be questioned and supported into trust. The orientation is to allow energy to move to its highest potential.
What sets SHEN apart from other therapies?
Its specific emotionally targeted approach through the body is unique in the NZ marketplace. SHENs’ capacity to bring about emotional integration and thereon ease is a fantastic assist to the stresses of everyday life and also the meeting of major life challenges.
“As a therapist (and as a long-time meditator) as you and your body (and presenting challenges) are held in the spaciousness that SHEN can evoke, so am I held in that same space and honour your needs from the depth and integrity of that space. According to physics our experience of matter is 99.9% energetic-i.e spaciousness more than solid form (please see if interested www.sciencealert.com/99-9999999-of-your-body-is-empty-space). With SHEN your body is deeply honoured by being held and your energetic integrity is also honoured. As your therapist I honour your story and journey and your current needs for deeper ease. It is a gift to be able to honour you in this work,” says Michael.

Covid 19 and Opportunities for Re-orientation
The blessing (or curse) “May you live in interesting times” has never felt so pertinent to this year of Covid 19. We have had to share in a global experience so as to keep each other as safe as we can. When we look at the concept of safety, we can also look at the concept of those things that we desire to safeguard.
This time and the blessing (or curse for some) of lockdown has shown us what we are prepared to do to safeguard that which we hold as valuable. It has also given us clean air, peaceable streets and communion with neighbours (appropriate distance notwithstanding).
So now we emerge steadily from this cocoon and have an opportunity to reflect upon the value of this time and what we might wish to cultivate moving forward. Did we enjoy the peace, the focus on essentials, the warmth of our neighbours and family and flatmates? Did we find something valuable here? And do we want to cultivate these values moving forward in some form or other?
If this time has provided deep internal challenges for you that may need assistance in transformation and acceptance, I and SHEN may be of fruit. May this time nourish what is truly essential within you and your world. May you find peace.
