The Path to Better Health

With Bowen, Reflexology and Reiki

History and Background

The Metamorphic Technique has its origins in the work of Robert St John, a British Naturopath and Reflexologist. During the 1960’s he discovered that he could bring about significant changes by applying light touch to particular points on the feet the Reflexologists call the spinal reflexes. Later he realised that everyone has their own capacity for self-healing. Since permanent changes on a number of levels were now occurring in his patients, he called this body of work Metamorphosis.

Gaston Saint-Pierre, who studied with Robert St John during the 1970’s saw the potential for the development of a tool for self-healing that could easily be integrated into everyday life. He later went on to develop the Metamorphic Technique to differentiate the new direction the work was now taking.

Theory behind the Technique

It is widely recognized that our energy can be ‘stuck’ in particular patterns. Every cell in out bodies holds memories of our experiences – not only from our childhood but going right back to our time in the womb to the moment we were conceived. When an experience affects us strongly, the thought patterns connected to that memory can set up energy patterns that then become ‘stuck’. In a sense we become stuck in the past. These patterns can express themselves in a variety of ways. In fact the Technique sees all mental, emotional, physical and behavioural ‘problems’ as symptoms or expressions of energy patterns.

What happens in a session?

The practitioner uses a light touch on the feet, hands and head. A safe, relaxing space is provided where you can just be. There is no need to take a case history. Some people may wish to talk, while others enjoy taking time out. A session usually lasts from 30 to 60 minutes.

How does it work?

Each of us has natural abilities that we can connect with given the right environment. The practitioner provides that space. The Technique offers a unique approach to handling personal issues whether they are physical, mental or emotional. These matters will influence how we are able to respond to events in everyday life.

The Metamorphic Technique stands alone, for it is neither a therapy nor a treatment, nor is it a massage or healing. There is no diagnosis or physical manipulation.

What can it do for me?

People are often drawn to the Technique in times of difficulty, career changes, moving house, divorce, bereavement or illness. Many find they cope better in these periods of transition. Some may wish to make deep inner changes without having to analyse the past, others find that in times of stress they are able to deal with situations more effectively.

Is it safe for everyone?

Yes. It is self empowering.

It enables you to steer your own path. The Technique can be received on its own or alongside conventional or complimentary approaches. It can be safely used by everyone including ill or dying people.

Pregnant women can receive sessions with absolute safety as often as desired. As diverse characteristics start to evolve in the time before the birth, the Technique can help create a safer environment in the womb for the baby to develop. Both mother and unborn child benefit from the sense of well-being that arises from this work.

Children love to have their feet done, often for short periods of time. Parents with young children visiting a practitioner are encouraged to share the sessions as well so that they can receive some instruction and continue to use the Technique at home. Many children who suffer with various chronic disabilities or learning difficulties really enjoy receiving sessions.

The Metamorphic Technique is easy to learn and is accessible to everyone.

How many sessions will I need?

Sessions are easy to integrate into everyday life. You are free to receive sessions according to your own personal preferences and needs. You may like to have sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis. Or you may prefer to come when you are feeling tired and uninspired. The contact provided is gentle and undemanding offering a pleasant and relaxing experience.
