Experience a safe, gentle somatic therapy to support healthy relationships
Our Somatic body-based approach will help you live with greater freedom in your body and mind and break out of destructive relationship patterns.
Welcome to Inspiring Wellness
Is being stuck in survival mode impacting your relationships?
Relationship stress holds patterns that talk-therapy can‘t always reach.
Our somatic-based approach is really about helping you, as an individual, thrive. Because if your holding stress and tension in your body, this will show up in your relationship.
The most important first step to moving towards a connected, healthy relationship is to heal yourself first.
One of our main techniques we use is called 'Network Spinal Analysis', a safe and very effective technique to helping people overcome negative patterns in their body. This may be past traumas, anxiety, sleeping issues, feeling unsafe, etc., all having a negative impact on how you show up in your relationship.
Our first goal is to take your nervous system out of being STUCK in survival mode.
Many common symptoms of relationship tension are as a result of us being stuck in survival mode from life's traumas and stresses. When the fight or flight switch is turned 'OFF' peoples symptoms go and their relationships transform..
“When the nervous system feels safe, relationships naturally become more fluid."
Stephen W. Porges, Ph.D.
What exactly is a Somatic-Based Approach, and why is it the Key to Transforming Your Relationship?
Your relationship will only change when your nervous system does.
Our body's get stuck in tension patterns, accumulated from past traumas or stresses.
Somatic therapy supports the body’s capacity for relationship safety and connection.
When we release the tension out of the body, you experience several positive changes both within your own experience of self and with your partner.
You can't be in an amazing relationship if you're not in an amazing place within yourself. Healing your stress and traumas by working with your nervous system will create the space for your relationship to be extraordinary.
The Power of Network Spinal Analysis in Healing Relationships
The only way to fully understand this approach is to have some sessions. Because once you experience what it feels like to have stress released from your body, then you will know what it is.
When you feel what it's like to no longer have the fight or flight switch "ON" all the time, you will experience a new peace and enjoyment in your relationships and in life.
Why It's Essential to Work with the Body to Improve Relationships
What if your body is keeping the destructive relationship patterns alive? For most people, this is the case.
Emotional reactivity begins in the body, not the mind.
If the body feels unsafe, relationships feel harder.
Relationship challenges are a reflection of more than just your thoughts and emotions, which is why talk-therapy can only go so far.
How your body responds to stress influences your natural reactions, leaving you in a state of alertness or numbness, stressed, anxious, defensive, angry, reactive... there are so many ways it can express itself. And the one person we care about the most receives these destructive behavioural outcomes of our STUCK, dysregulated nervous system.
Our method, using gentle, precise touches along the spine, shifts our nervous system out of being stuck in its defensive state.
So many people come to me aware that their symptoms are the direct result to a history of trauma of some kind. They can feel the negative effects of holding this in their bodies and showing up in their relationships.
Yet, so many people try to just live with it and manage through life - or with medication to cover up symptoms, or with talk therapy which is common. They all have their place, but none actually release the stress and trauma stuck in the body.
When stress patterns repeat, relationships often feel the strain.
“Change happens when the body is included in the healing process.”
Peter A. Levine, Ph.D.
“We are wired for connection, but stress can interfere with that wiring.”

Why be with someone when you're 'just coping', when you can THRIVE TOGETHER
Jamie
"I can’t say I understand the physical aspect of his practise, so I can only speak from experiential knowledge. After seeing Dov I feel more open-hearted, grounded, satisfied, relaxed and motivated.
I’ve struggled with various difficulties such as depression, insomnia, binge eating, anxiety and low self-esteem. I have felt positive effects on all of these symptoms, and many aspects have completely dissolved.
The amazing thing is that the changes are sustainable because Dov goes straight to the root and unearths that, not just treating the isolated symptoms. Of all the health and healing practitioners I’ve felt the effects of Dov’s work to be the most effective and lasting.
The joy and excitement of life is beginning to shine through again, and I can’t thank Dov enough for his heartfelt, expert care."
Claire
The results were outstanding. The course gave me strategies to deal with the anxiety and the entrainments gave me the ability to heal from past traumas, increase my energy levels and experience life more authentically.
Since then I have been more confident, self-assured and happy with who I am. I now enjoy talking to strangers and socialising. I quit my accounting career (which I never enjoyed), taken up dance, done a bit of bar work and spent four months walking the TeAraroa Trail.
My relationship with my husband has greatly improved as I am now true to myself and able to communicate more effectively.
My experience at Inspiring Wellness has been life-changing and I am forever grateful to Dov for what he has been able to do for me and for my daughter."
"You empowered me to use what was inside me to create change in my life"
