ARC(A Return to Consciousness) Bodywork is a unique combination of mindfulness, energy balancing, creative journeying and BodySpeak™.
What is ARC BodySpeak™?
BodySpeak™ is a form of body-based communication that successfully updates your emotional system. Your emotional system, or way of being, is formed in childhood and reflects how you learned to cope with life back then. It has direct influence on your adult thoughts and behavioural patterns. Through questions designed to elicit a more sensory than cognitive response, BodySpeak™ helps illuminate the patterns that pose limits on your life. With conscious awareness of how you are living, you can then make informed decisions about how you want to thrive and live in abundance.
What is energy balancing?
Science has proven that energy is the basis of all matter, which includes our selves. Energy balancing corrects energetic imbalances and creates movement in places of stagnation.
However, energy balancing rarely enacts permanent change without a corresponding shift in the emotional system. Energy balancing complements BodySpeak™ by creating a sensory experience from which you can feel change. The combination of BodySpeak™ and energy balancing provides for gentle yet effective healing
What is creative journeying?
Creative journeying is your own unique artistic movement towards healing. During the session, Jo-Ann follows your journey whether that be through imagery, specific words, rhythms or body movements.
What is mindfulness?
ARC practitioners practice mindfulness throughout their daily life, as well as in their practice. Mindfulness brings one to a state of conscious awareness of who they are, who they are relating to and where they are standing in relationship to their environment.In other words, mindfulness is the experience of being centred, deeply grounded and aware both internally and externally.
When a practitioner is mindful they are first and foremost aware of what is happening internally for themselves so that they do not put their needs or agenda onto the client.In this way, the practitioner practices an intensive form of self care that enables them to be of deeper service to their clients.Practitioner mindfulness provides a safe, nurturing and compassionate space to heal.

What would an ARC Bodywork session with Jo-Ann look like?
“I generally work with clients as they lie on a massage table but sessions can be in the comfort of chairs or on the phone. If you choose the table, you lie on your back, fully clothed. I place my hands on or above your body (client’s preference) and work with the energy as it presents itself to me.While working with energy in this way I ask BodySpeak™ questions to help you come into resolution of your presenting issues while facilitating a deeper connection with who you are: your Authentic Self”.
