Christine Shanahan, Midwife and Therapist:

Christine Shanahan , RN, RM, B. App Sc (Nursing) AKA ATMS, has a background in Nursing and Private Practice Midwifery. During her years as a midwife she attended more than 1000 births, delivering babies at home, birthing centres and hospitals.

As a midwife, she had a particular interest in women who have had a previous caesarian section delivery and who wish, during a subsequent pregnancy to have a normal vaginal birth. On reflection and observation it became apparent to Christine how often fears and past traumas got in the way of women's progress in labour or even prevented them from labouring spontaneously.

In 1991 Christine commenced studies in Kinesiology, which can bring about changes in the body where stresses have previously been causing imbalances. When working at a free standing birth centre she became aware of the work of Dr. Roger Callahan, a psychologist who specialized in the treatment of fears and phobias. His basic procedures seemed to make a significant difference to the pregnant women with fears and past trauma, so in 1995 Christine went to USA to attend his training seminar. His work is now called Thought Field Therapy.

As in new and innovative vibrant therapies, the "tapping therapies" evolved around the world, and Christine returned to USA in 1998 to attend Gary Craig's Seminar on Emotional Freedom Technique. Gary learned from Roger and put his own new interpretation on the way tapping therapies work, and can be applied to relieve emotional disharmony.

Kinesiology

This is a relatively new alternative therapy which began in the 1950s in USA amongst chiropractors.It is a combination of chiropractic and the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

As this modality has evolved over the last 50 years it has become more holistic, addressing imbalances in the body's energy systems incorporating the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of beings.

Meridian Harmony

Meridian Harmony is a healing work combining the latest in sound engineering, the ancient Chi understandings of body meridians, together with the healing application of sound.

Many years of practice, reflection and application have brought about this unique combination of sound technology, vibration and kinesiology practice to provide a unique contribution which assists the body's balance.

This is a great boon to those seeking inner harmony and balance, and a still greater boon for practitioners of any healing discipline.
