My journey into healing began with aromatherapy and massage, which naturally evolved into a deep practice of&nbsp;<strong>H\u00f6fu\u00f0beina- og spjaldhryggsj\u00f6fnun<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>I have had the privilege of studying under esteemed masters, including&nbsp;<strong>Thomas Atlee, Benjamin Shield, and Etienne Peirsman<\/strong>. Driven by a desire to help clients reach their truest potential, I expanded my practice to include&nbsp;<strong>Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Matrix Reimprinting<\/strong>, studying under&nbsp;<strong>Karl Dawson<\/strong>. These modalities offer a profound way to dissolve stress and trauma within both the body and mind.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The Body-Mind Connection<\/strong><br>My work has taught me that the body and mind are intrinsically linked, engaged in a constant conversation. I approach every client\u2014from&nbsp;<strong>adults and children of all ages to newborns<\/strong>\u2014with an&nbsp;<strong>attitude of listening<\/strong>. I listen first to your words, then tune into the body, feeling for the subtle tensions, strains, or blockages that need release.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Specialized Care for New Beginnings<\/strong><br>To further support my work with babies and mothers , I also qualified as a&nbsp;<strong>Postpartum Doula<\/strong>&nbsp;with&nbsp;<strong>Julia Jones of Newborn Mothers<\/strong>&nbsp;in Australia. While I am passionate about using my skills to help mothers and babies thrive, I am equally committed to helping clients of all stages of life lighten their burdens and find balance.<\/p>\n\n<p>I am here to use my years of expertise to support your well-being, helping you release what no longer serves you so you can move forward with ease.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;min-height:377px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-white-background-color has-background-dim\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2488\" height=\"1230\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-2844\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/craniotap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/facebook-page-2.jpg\" style=\"object-position:44% 70%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"44% 70%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/craniotap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/facebook-page-2.jpg 2488w, https:\/\/craniotap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/facebook-page-2-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/craniotap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/facebook-page-2-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/craniotap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/facebook-page-2-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/craniotap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/facebook-page-2-1536x759.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/craniotap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/facebook-page-2-2048x1012.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/craniotap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/facebook-page-2-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2488px) 100vw, 2488px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size has-primary-font-family\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SJSRhythms\" style=\"border-radius:100px;background-color:#4267b2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Shelagh Smith and I am located in Reykjav\u00edk.
