Body Psychotherapy Sessions in Byron Bay

Welcome to my Practice of Body Psychotherapy, in the Core Energetics model of self-development. Through a psychodynamic approach combined with a variety of physical movements and breathing exercises, we will work together to unblock muscular armouring and release emotional defence patterns that may be keeping you from full connection to your authentic self and enjoyment of natural self-expression.

Body Psychotherapy techniques include: stretching and opening moves; grounding and centering exercises; energy building postures; massage or finger pressure to muscles; vibration; breathwork, vocal expression and trauma release techniques. Inherent in this work is gentle, compassionate care which allows for energies to be safely processed and assimilated. I look forward to working with you and offering my best support for your personal development and well-being.

The duration of each session is one hour.
Session fees are:
Individual Session: $140 • Session for two: $200

Sono, Creative Director

Through Tai Chi I experience a profound sense of myself and my world. It is a powerful vehicle that brings my mind into union with my body, my life force and into resonance with the heartbeat of life. My years training with Shirsha have been a wonderful blend of informative instruction and interesting learning. We have been incredibly lucky to have been taught by an instructor who, not only is passionate about these arts but embodies grace, patience and the rare ability to transfer her knowledge whilst retaining impeccably, the integrity of this extraordinary art.

I have been practicing Tai Chi and Qigong for 1.5 years with Shirsha with great benefit to mind and body. Her teaching style transmits the finer points and internal aspects of these arts very well, while keeping a calm and respectful environment. For me Tai Chi and Qigong are a perfect continuation of my internal development, martial and body maintenance practices.

Leonie, Business Owner

After nearly 18 months of Hapkido training, I've gained a great deal of strength, improved flexibility and there appears to be a kind of physical re-alignment occurring. Beyond the physical, I've noticed improvements in my ability to focus and have gained greater clarity and calmness of mind. With Shirsha we train in an environment of acceptance, mutual respect and integrity. As a beginner, I feel I have just touched the surface and am excited about continuing to train and discover more of what this very old and beautiful art has to offer.

Shirsha Marie is quite simply one of the best teachers I have ever had. I began studying Qigong with her 3 years ago. It has had a profound effect on my life, leading to a quieter, deeper equilibrium within me. I am looking forward to further years of study with her.

Paul, Organic Farming Teacher

I am most grateful for the commitment and compassion of our Tai Chi teacher Shirsha Marie. For 10 years now I have been practicing Tai Chi at the Centre here in Byron Bay and have been able to free my body from back and joint pain. Tai Chi has helped me to move to a deeper and more satisfying level of meditation. There are so many benefits for mind body and spirit from this ancient art.

I have been practising Qigong with Shirsha for more than 4 years. Of all the exercise and movement forms I have tried over the years, this has been the most interesting and rewarding. Over time, I’ve experienced certain physiological changes which neither medical nor alternative therapies have been able to produce - but the form has much to offer beyond the physical, and my sense is that one gets what one needs from it. The teaching here is deep and refined, and every class reveals something new to me in the form. There is an ever-unfolding exquisite subtlety to be found here.
