Structural Alignment (SA) is a deeply relaxing hands on treatment that works on your whole body, over clothes from head to toe, to relieve deep physical and mental stress. It draws from a variety of techniques, ancient and modern, Eastern and Western, and can change the way you experience your life.
If you are feeling emotional or physical pain, stiffness, stress, having difficulty sleeping, noticing mood swings, are tired, unwell, stuck or not like yourself, then you are likely to find this treatment helpful. Based on common feedback, you may also feel lighter, taller, softer, free of pain and stress, calm and clear, energised, sleep better, feel happier and more like your true self.
Your body functions like a network of webs, each intricately connected to the other from head to toe. Unresolved physical trauma or deeply held emotional experiences can get trapped in these webs, and over time, the body becomes cluttered and uncomfortable. The consequences become widespread and can leave the body feeling heavy, hard, stressed and stuck. Another indication of stuck clutter is the repetition of patterns of behaviour that lead to poor choices in diet, lifestyle, job or relationships for you.
Based on modern medical knowledge and understanding of the human body, a variety of diagnostic, assessment and treatment methods are used to unwind and untwist your body, releasing it of clutter. When your body is clear and balanced, you can exist with more lightness and freedom. SA is gentle to receive, pain free and most people fall into a deep state of peace and relaxation during the session.
If you would like to work on a specific issue, repeat sessions are recommended for maximum benefit. As treatment is through clothes, please wear a t-shirt and yoga/loose pants.
About Dipika
After 12 years in the field of natural medicine, starting with a Science Honours degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture in London, Structural Alignment for Body and Mind was born. Inspiration for this unique treatment comes mainly from personal experiences and professional training in Acupuncture, Zero Balancing, Theta Healing, Swedish Massage, Reiki, hypnosis and meditation.
Previous professional experience includes private General, Cosmetic Acupuncture and Specialist Gynae & Obstetric clinics in London and Brighton, in addition to a private hospital practice in Hove, East Sussex, in the UK.
In 2010, during an emotionally difficult time and whilst suffering with pain from an old injury, Dipika experienced, first hand, the profound effects of this combination of techniques. As a result, she stopped being clumsy, became free of pain and found herself selling her clinics in the UK and moving to Koh Tao, Thailand. In order to meet health wishes for tourists and expat locals, she also co-founded Living Juices, a healthy raw food and juice cafe, and runs food workshops with her now husband and young son.
