Integrated Bodymind Therapy

REBATES AVAILABLE for MASSAGE

Elijah Forest is a Fremantle-based somatic practitioner, counsellor and therapist, working within the modalities of body-mind counselling and massage therapy including Remedial, Thai, Swedish and Hot Stone as well as integrated somatic bodywork.

With diverse experience in therapeutic massage styles, and trauma-informed somatic therapy, Elijah integrates holistic, evidence-based approaches, supporting participants in overcoming emotional challenges and burdens, limiting beliefs and attachments, exploring 'Self' and moving towards states of integration, regulation, self-enhancement, receptivity, agility and embodied awareness.

His approach intertwines concepts of ancient Eastern wisdom, contemporary neuroscience, embodiment practices, parts work, permaculture and rhythms in nature, somatic philosophy and expression therapy alongside focused, intentional bodywork.

Sessions with Elijah are grounding, collaborative and integrative - empowering participants through gentle yet insightful somatic explorations of the body-mind and the multifaceted realms and parts of the 'Self'.
