Jacqui Spice from luxury travel company Touch of Spice, Kim Knight from wellbeing centre Art of Health and blind tandem cyclist paralympian Jayne Parsons will share their stories at a charity women’s lunch next month – to raise funds for the Child Cancer Foundation.

 

The event is the brainchild of Wellingtonian Lauren Donaldson whose son Edward is being treated for a rare inoperable brain tumour.

 

Child Cancer Foundation Central fundraiser Scott Lancaster says the event is a fantastic opportunity for Wellington women to hear from three talented women who are all superstars in their respective fields. All three were finalists in the 2011 Next Magazine Woman of the Year.

 

“This is a unique event in that these women cover a range of sectors from business, to health and sport. It’s guaranteed to be an inspirational afternoon and we’re encouraging people to get in quick as tickets will sell out quickly.”

 

The event is part of the annual Child Cancer Appeal Month in March, and the organisers are aiming to raise around $25,000 from the event.

Note re write-up in NEXT magazine:

 

By mistake NEXT have reported that Kim uses 'Feng Shui' to help people address mental and emotional issues. Whilst Feng Shui (the art of placement of objects in space) is a skill which Kim has trained in, she does not implement this particular art to help clients recover from chronic illness. Rather she uses cutting-edge modalities such as Mickel Therapy, Emotional Intelligence training, Moativational Medicine and Qi Gong, plus other innovative mind-body techniques to help people identify the underlying mental and emotional cause of disease.... and then gives people clear strategies and techniques with which to coach themselves back to health.

THERAPIST HELPS PEOPLE RECOVER BY PHONE FROM CHRONIC PAIN AND ILLNESS

July 29, 2011

 

Emotional intelligence coach Kim Knight, Director of the Art of Health, has been helping people to recover from chronic pain and illnesses which still baffle many doctors, such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel and depression…by phone. In an era where surgery, medication and supplements are seen as the common solution, how is this possible?

 

“It’s all a matter of understanding the real nature of illness” says Kim. “Illness is not a mistake and mental or physical symptoms are most often the end result of many years of unidentified and unexpressed emotional pain. By identifying and addressing the underlying cause, the symptoms disappear, because they are merely a messenger sent to get our attention”.

She is able to say this having recovered herself, without medication or supplements, from several house-bound years of chronic fatigue, adrenal exhaustion, clinical depression, back problems and more.

 

Trained in Mickel Therapy, a ground-breaking technique created by UK medical doctor, Dr David Mickel, Kim is able to assist clients to finally recognize and understand the cause of their symptoms. She then teaches them how to coach themselves back to health using a number of exercises which, as she puts it, “train one in ‘life-affirming rather than life-depleting behaviours’”. These include things such as learning how to identify feelings and communicate them safely, how to ‘clear the decks’ of unfinished business, how to put oneself first and how to live a balanced lifestyle.

 

One of the main tenets of Mickel Therapy is that emotions are ‘energy in motion’ and blocked emotional energy trapped in the cells re-wire them into illness. In Dr Mickel’s words “Emotions have been commonly misunderstood and misinterpreted for many years, starting with the incorrect assumption that they are created by thought.  Primary or core e-motions arise spontaneously without any thought, as waves of energy that flow directly into our physical cells and immediately alter their physiological function”.   Anyone familiar with quantum physics will understand that all matter, at a quantum (sub-atomic) level, is just energy, and this includes our mental, emotional and physical bodies which are all interlinked.

 

“A simple way of putting it would be a state of dis-ease will create disease”.

 

As the client learns to identify, manage and resolve their emotional life, currently emerging as the trend of ‘emotional intelligence training’, the body restores itself to its natural state of good health. Whilst a handful of people have recovered within 2 weeks, the average number of sessions needed is 6-8, by which time they have either returned to full health or made significant improvement. With continuing practice of the exercises their return to good health is not far away.
