Carol Greenwood BScN, MFHT, iLm

My wish and driving passion is your ‘thrival’, not mere survival.

Having worked until 2008 as a nursing senior sister in many specialisms in both hospital and community settings has provided me with a breadth of understanding and experience including nutrition, health promotion, chronic and acute illness and palliative care. It also showed me that there is more to health and wellbeing than an absence of qualifying symptoms for a diagnosis! So I re-trained, and in 2010 set up as a full time Holistic Massage and Bodywork Therapist. Over the years I have continued to add trainings and specialisms to my CV, including iLm Wellbeing Coaching and Chrysalis Effect Trauma Informed Specialist Practitioner, having experienced first-hand as a recoverer how powerful the program is.

My professional trainings as well as my personal recovery journey have put the effects of trauma, especially the kind that most of us will have experienced (often termed small “t” trauma1), into the spotlight, and the need to heal from those overwhelming past events of our childhood often further compounded by life, in order to recover and take our place on the winning podium.

I offer both online and in-person appointments, both of which work very well for recovery coaching, and have an about equal split of male and female clients, as well as those from the LGBTQ+ community.

In person I use massage, energy and bodywork therapies to relieve the physical manifestations of psychological pain and discord, clearing the way to a more joyful life where you can thrive. Intuitive Myofascial Release Technique, when used in a safe and secure environment alongside Compassionate Enquiry practices2, have been shown to provide deeply profound healing for my clients, as it is very light physically yet can be deeply penetrating energetically.

I work with a fabulous team of Chrysalis Effect Practitioners, each with their own specialisms including nutrition, bereavement and trauma release, so can easily direct you to any specialist knowledge you may need.

I offer a free, no-obligation Discovery Call, where we can ensure we are a good fit for your needs and discuss the plan for your accelerated recovery journey. I look forward to speaking to you as soon as you’re ready to make that commitment to your wellbeing, your health, your thrival!
