“The greatest revelation is stillness”

- Lao Tse

Contact CARE is a New Zealand-based practice that focuses on releasing trapped bone pressure within the body, often caused by surprise impacts, through a gentle, non-invasive technique called "Flinchlock Release."

A Flinchlock is a body-wide response to a surprise impact.

When you get hit by something unexpectedly, your body automatically tries to protect you by flinching and moving away.

When we are prepared for an impact, we can let go of this contraction after the danger has passed…

BUT when we are taken by surprise, the shock to our senses can freeze us in this guarded and twisted position.

You get locked in

‘Flinch mode'

As time goes on, we might be able to stiffen our upper lip and try get on with life, but some deep part of us is always carrying this contraction, and slowly our body begins to compensate, leading to:

Migraines

Joint issues

Confusion

Aches and pains

Thankfully, Contact CARE can help reverse these injuries and restore the body to normal

 FAQs

  • So much!

    Put simply, if there is something that is causing you frustration, discomfort, or confusion in any area of life, we can help bring lasting change.

  • These are my typical prices:

    30mins - $50.00 NZD

    60mins - $70 NZD

  • Sessions can last 30-90 minutes with a return visit according to your needs. 

    Longer sessions for acute clients and shorter sessions for maintenance.

  • Every session is catered to you.

    1. Typically you will fill out a form and tell me what you are feeling and where. I will assess your body, observing your movement and taking note of what I see.

    2. We will work together to find the best position for you – whether that’s sitting, lying, standing – or a mixture of all!

    3. I will then apply a gentle pressure to different bones of your body. When I find ones that don't move as they should, I will apply the perfect amount of pressure to them until they release.

    (You'll notice that I consistently ask you to “get comfortable”. This is to make sure your body feels secure enough to fully let go of the injury we are dealing with. )

  • The entire premise of ConTact C.A.R.E is that it is gentle, safe and pain free. Your body will guide the process which ensures you will be comfortable throughout the whole session. There is no forcing or manipulation during the treatment, only support and pressure were it is necessary. 

  • This depends on the individual and the severity of their injury, illness, or trauma.  Often one session can create major change but sometimes between 3 - 4 treatments are necessary for everything to fully integrate.

  • Please wear loose, comfortable clothing. 

  • Every person and their injuries are unique. Most people feel lighter, more energetic, and have a noticeable reduction in pain immediately after a session.

    Sometimes there can be some discomfort in the days following a session as the body begins to solidify the changes - this will pass and often indicates big changes have been made.

  • Any age! From newborns who have had traumatic births right up to the elderly. It's safe, simple and effective; once the pressure has been released the body can start to function as it should - no matter your age.

  • When the body is under pressure, so is the mind. We have had great results in these areas. A surprise impact to the chest for example can end up creating a constant low level contraction throughout the ribcage - a sensation we might associate with despair. To deal with this feeling, you might have had to turn to substances just to cope or function.

    You might have found that no matter how many times you talk about it, the feeling is still there. When we release the physical contraction in your chest that is causing the negative feelings, more conventional therapies will suddenly become much more effective - perhaps not needed at all!

  • Absolutely! I have experience working with a range of animals and have had fantastic results. Please send me a message to further discuss options if you have an animal in mind.

  • Simply put, FlinchLocks are an automatic reaction to physical trauma.

    When you see something coming to hit you, you can brace yourself and prepare for the impact. 

    When the impact is unexpected (a tackle from behind; a car accident; a trip and fall), things get jarred out of place and bounced around, and don’t often bounce back into place.

    When we don’t release these accidents, they can accumulate and lead to ongoing pain and dysfunction.

    We specialise in finding and releasing these unique accidents.

  • Absolutely! There are a number of fantastic instructors throughout New Zealand that off regular trainings. Please get in touch for more infomation

  • Contact C.A.R.E is a common-sense approach, NOT a scientific one.

    It is tailored for individual needs.  Personal results speak for themselves, in both human and animals.

    Results do vary as with any style of physical mental and emotional remedies. We do not diagnose, nor will we recommend anything against your doctors advice.
