about our therapies
AcuEnergetics®
AcuEnergetics® is a modern treatment modality with a unique and effective approach to treating illness in the body. It was developed over the past 40 years by an Australian, Kevin Niv Farrow.
It works with the bio-electrical system in the body, by encouraging the body to promote faster, natural healing to ease pain and improve physical and emotional health. Practitioners work with Energy Centres, Meridian lines or internal organs using their energetic hand techniques to restore flow and restore function.
Meditation
Meditation and Mindfulness have been known to have a wide range of benefits for many thousands of years. We often focus on the emotional benefits resulting from meditation, which include stress reduction, increasing joy and creating a sense of calm.
However there are significant mental benefits, which include improved creativity, better focus, increased productivity and improving awareness and listening skills.
Meditation and mindfulness also have physical benefits which have been found for many health conditions, including heart disease, cholesterol, high blood pressure, insomnia, chronic pain, cancer, and immune deficiencies.
Sound Bath
‘Sound bath’ or ‘Gong bath’, are all the same, they are a form of sound healing where the gong and related sound tools are played to promote relaxation, meditative states, self transformation, enhanced creativity, and general well being.
The term 'bath' signifies being bathed in sound waves - there is no water involved. Fully clothed, you are invited to lay comfortably on a yoga mat (or sit on a chair/cushion if you find it more comfortable), wrap yourself in a blanket, close your eyes, let go, relax, and be cocooned in a sonic immersion.
Individual Sound Therapy
A sound therapy treatment is both a passive and participatory experience. The passive aspect is that you become more relaxed by laying down and slowing your breath. By doing this, you prepare yourself to become the receiver of sound. It's in this place of stillness that you participate by becoming more open and aware of each sound that comes in. Sound helps to stimulate the dermatomes and encourages the body to fully open up and restore natural flow.
about me
Sonia Norman
Meditation Teacher, Sound Practitioner and an AcuEnergetics® Practitioner
I became a fully qualified AcuEnergetics® Practitioner in 2015.
I discovered this modality whilst living in Australia and it opened my eyes to what we can do to help our bodies heal naturally.
During my training to become an AcuEnergetics® Practitioner I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
Being a mother of two, working for myself and having a family pet, I understand the effects of daily stress on the body.
Whilst undergoing my own AcuEnergetics® therapy, I was advised that regular meditation would allow me to listen to my body more closely and respond when it needed help.
I was resistant to start with because I couldn’t understand how sitting still, doing nothing could be of any benefit to me or my illness. However I persevered and practiced every day for 20 minutes, even when I didn’t feel I had 20 minutes free.
Through journaling my meditation practice I was able, in just a short period of time, to look back and see the huge difference meditation had actually had, not only on my mental health but also on my physical body.
Meditation has been a wonderful gift for me; changing my life for the better in so many positive ways. For me, meditation is no longer just a practice, it’s a way of life and being able to share the gift of meditation with others is such a blessing. In 2020 I became a registered British School of Meditation Teacher.
Sound vibrations have been used throughout history by many cultures to maintain balance and harmony in the body.
It's deeply immersive, gentle, yet incredibly powerful therapeutic and restorative process.
In 2020 I qualified as a Sound Practitioner with the Northern School of Soundsmiths.
I love how all these modalities can work fully on their own, or I can blend them together as needed for you.
Giving you the time to RestoreU, mind and body.
