    E6 Emotions and Energy

    How we regulate our emotions and our energy determines to a great extent the quality of our lives. Unwanted emotions need to be recognized, acknowledged, understood and released. But what is often overlooked is that this is not enough. We need techniques that take us one step further if we are to truly heal. Techniques that help us shift to a state of gratitude, joy and unconditional love. When we can access these states of being we become better at recovering from stress, at regulating our emotions and shaping our lives in a different way. In conversation with my good friend and colleague Rebecca Gwynn-Jones I explain why this subject is important enough to me to make a very personal podcast about it.

    E3 Reflex Inhibition Therapy

    Many of my clients have a deep wish to overcome adverse or traumatic early childhood experiences. One relatively unknown therapy I use to help them is Reflex Inhibition Therapy. With this therapy I help clients integrate the so called primary reflexes (or primitive reflexes). These reflexes ensure early childhood development. But can cause problems if they stay active beyond a certain age. Reflex integration is beneficial on many levels of everyday functioning and coping with stress. Find out why in this podcast.

    E1 Alexander Technique

    I believe our lives are shaped by what we fail to notice. It is from the subconscious that we often sabotage ourselves without knowing. But how to change that? The Alexander Technique method can help you. During an Alexander Technique lesson you will explore if you are interfering with your own functioning. This happens more often than you think because we are creatures of habit. Once you are aware of habits that are not serving you, you can choose to change them if you wish. My name is Elke Mastwijk, I have a busy private practice in the town of Breda in the Netherlands. I teach the Alexander Technique and work as a CranioSacral Therapist and Reflex Inhibition Therapist as well. In this podcast series I discuss the correlation between the techniques I use and how they have helped me and my clients, on our personal and professional journey through life.  A heartfelt thank you goes to Rebecca Gwynn-Jones for her valuable contribution and input and to my partner Gijs Graafmans for the music and the editing.  ⁠www.intouchwithelke.com⁠
