| Monica Anthony studied oboe and composition at
the Royal Academy of Music, London, and in Germany and worked as a freelance
orchestral player for several years. During that time she became interested
in the interaction between mind, body and spirit, and in the effect of emotions
on health. She then explored the field of Complementary Medicine, alongside
studies in Transpersonal Psychology, gaining over 20 years experience in
these areas.
She includes in her work as a Psychotherapist, Craniosacral Therapist, Hypnotherapist and Healer, techniques using active imagination, creative visualisation and drawing; also an awareness of the subtle energy field which permeates the physical body and which, when expanded, ' tuned' and balanced, gives an increase in vitality and a renewed sense of well-being. Healing, using the visualisation of colour, and Holistic Foot Massage deepen the experience of the subtle energies and enrich our perspective. She uses Astrology to provide additional maps enabling a deep exploration of the psyche, offering an increased awareness of the cycles and stages of growth which are common to us all and an understanding of how this awareness can help us to use challenges as opportunities for transformation. Transpersonal Psychotherapy recognises that within the psychological landscape of the individual, there is the potential for spiritual experience and that this experience plays an important part in healing. Craniosacral Therapy is a comprehensive and exceptionally gentle therapy. Working through sensitive and focussed touch, it rebalances the bones, soft tissues and fluids in the body. As it treats the whole person, any condition benefits, but it is especially effective in re-integration following illness, accident or injury and the after-effects of birth trauma. Hypnotherapy releases the memories of experiences and especially feelings which have been pushed out of immediate conscious awareness, so that they can be safely contained and re-integrated into the psyche in a creative and positive way. Self-hypnosis and the use of the creative imagination are valuable tools in self-healing. Colour Healing - the use of a light, sensitive touch and the visualisation of certain specific colours creates an experience similar to meditation and many people see or sense the actual colours during treatment. Holistic Foot Massage is a penetrating diagnostic and therapeutic tool. It works through light massage of the feet, using the spinal and organ reflexes and showing an accessible and readily understood picture of the individual 's state of health. This process enables changes in life patterns to take place more easily. Astrology with a transpersonal perspective enables the individual to gain insight into the seed of the psyche and its potential for growth and transformation. The richness of the symbols offers a language through which we may begin to understand both our qualities as unique individuals and our place as part of a greater whole. |
