Soul Journeys
ABOUT VIV AND SOUL JOURNEYS
My business, Soul Journeys, was born out of a tragic loss of someone close to me and the resulting desire to help individuals to find hope and make meaning out of traumatic or life changing events.
As a qualified counsellor (SACAP 2010) and advanced TRE (tension and trauma release) practitioner, I gently guide my clients through a process of releasing deep patterns of chronic tension in order to help them come back to a place of calm and ease and to cope more effectively with life’s daily stressors.
I enjoy a very active lifestyle and love mountain biking, hiking and swimming. I also have a special interest in using the wilderness as our teacher so as an extension to conventional counselling, I offer ‘healing in nature’ which could involve a session of an hour or two, to a
walking or cycling journey of a few days.
Riversong has fulfilled a life long dream of creating a home which is also a safe and tranquil haven for my daughters to return to, for my friends to come and visit and for clients to take time out to heal.
Individual sessions
These one on one sessions are intended to gently support, guide and assist you in calming your nervous system and bringing you back into harmonious alignment. Using counselling (SACAP 2010), TRE - tension and trauma releasing exercises, mindfulness, meditations and guided labyrinth or nature walks, Viv, will help you to find hope and bring balance back into your life, reduce anxiety and assist you in releasing any deep patterns of tension or trauma that you might still be holding onto.
Workshops
Join us from time to time in Riversong studio for informative workshops and events, run by myself or by visiting therapists. These could cover a variety of topics. They might also include special days where a therapist works out of the studio and offers treatments in whatever their specialty is. The space is also a great venue for small social get togethers, launches, special occasion functions, meetings, classes and presentations.
Retreats
Bespoke retreats for individuals or small groups are carefully curated to meet your specific needs and requirements. The retreat program, developed in consultation with you, can be activity or wellness based, or a combination of the two. Or you can just take that time out that you have always promised yourself and self-retreat with as much or as little support as you require.
Scheduled retreats are also regularly organized around different themes and run by myself or visiting therapists.
