1st Session Element Descriptions
Introductions
First things first: building rapport and trust and getting to know each other.
Reason for a Session
After getting know each other a bit, it is time to dig into what brings you to session. What is reason you want support and why do you think this type of support might be the answer for your specific challenge.
Background & Context
Once the reason is shared, it is time to dig in to fill context to the problem. There are always additional circumstances that are important to understand the challenge fully and to therefore craft the right solution.
Your Brain Profile
A series of quick little tests can reveal what is referred to as your "Brain Dominance Profile". This refers to which eye, ear, arm/hand, leg and brain hemisphere takes the lead when under stress.
Body Map
If there is pain in the body, where in the body is it happening. A full picture of various, apparently unrelated body pains, will be charted with an eye to seeing if there is any connection.
Goals for the Session
Now that there is a body map, brain profile and all background info, it is time to hone in on the right first goal (there are often layers).
Applied Kinesiology Principles
Muscle testing/checking will be used throughout, including self muscle testing. In the first session, you will learn how to do this in order to open the access to talking to the body.
Strategy Selection
Using the goal AND asking the body will fine tune which of the various movements and modalities will be best for you.
Actions and Activities
The meat of the session is when the actual specific movements will be done, either with or without mirroring. Occasionally, surrogate testing and movements may be done.
Progress Check
Asking the body with muscle testing will guide whether there are further movements and modalities or whether the session is complete.
Acknowledge and Plan
Noticing the positive change is essential for cementing the change. Planning for the future can be for the next session and/or what can be done by you to further support the changes made.
Celebrate
It is a great fun to end with discussion and visualization for how wonderfully your next phase will be thanks to the positive change! Maybe a little dance!!
Session Elements Descriptions:
Goals for the Session:
What would you like to be re-wired for? What are you willing to change?
This area can be emotionally challenging as it will be vital to get to the real root of the goal and a bit of digging may be necessary.
Strategy Selection:
What movements and modalities will best serve the achievement of this goal?
Menu Includes: Brain Gym movements, Emotion Code, Affirmations, Flower Essences, Touch for Health and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
Actions and Activities
Put into action the movements and modalities selected, with re-evaluation along the way. Mariah-Jane will gently guide the various modalities.
Progress Check
How are the choices of intervention working? There are effective ways to confirm that the choices are indeed making positive change.
Acknowledge and Plan
Acknowledge what positive changes have been made. Also, plan if there is any follow up steps that will need to be taken to support the changes.
Celebrate
Positive change needs to go beyond acknowledgement to full on celebration!! Change can be hard...and you just did it!
Testimonial from a Professional Dancer
Professional Dancer and Teacher, Caitlin Griffin had amazing results in just a single session!
I was so excited to book a session with Mariah-Jane after attending some of her in person and online workshops that I found so valuable.
After just one private session I've experienced a remarkable shift in the calm and stability I now feel while on stage and high pressure situations.
As a dancer, back bending, telling rights from lefts and navigating stage lights all used to be terribly stressful for me. Mariah-Jane addressed all of these in our single session. I now find going into the backspace, clarity of direction, and keeping calm in the lights to be not just safe but FUN things to do!
As a teacher, I've been able to stay much calmer and to create a much better classroom experience for my students too. I notice greater strides in their learning and I have much more energy and focus on my longer days.
I continue to be floored and grateful daily for what’s transpired since our session together.
Thank you Mariah-Jane!
Caitlin's session including a "Re-Patterning" which is designed to help the brain to go from a homo-lateral (single sided/stress brain state) into an integrated whole brain state.
