Our Services.

  • Therapy

    Our 1:1 support takes an integrated approach to health and performance — a holistic style of therapy that combines different models, evidence-based techniques and supportive practices (like breath work and movement) that are just right for you. In other words, we personalise the approach so that it works for you.

    Our focus is on building deep and open client-therapist connections, with a focus on collaboration throughout our time together. This allows for a balanced and equal relationship inside the therapy room, supporting you to know yourself and your own needs more intimately outside of it.

    The objective is to optimise health and performance by targeting key body systems and correcting ingrained imbalances.

    We pay specific attention to the nervous and breathing systems, supporting pattern recognition within emotions, thoughts, and behaviours, focusing on intercepting and managing stress, and utilising tools such as exercise and training development, as well as breath work.

    You’ll learn to understand the underlying mechanisms at play, before acquiring and applying new skills in practical scenarios to lock in the knowledge.

  • Breathwork

    At embdhealth, we have a unique systems-based approach to health, understanding that nothing in the body works independently.

    We incorporate assessment of your biomechanics, physiology, and nervous system, to support individual awareness of how our breathing system influences our psychoemotional state. Practical tools and strategies are provided to support individuals in issues such as managing pain, anxiety, and stress, and assist in discovering balance within their bodies.

    At embdhealth, we use evidence-based techniques to support clients in better managing the various systems within their body. Our nervous system influences the way we breathe, and the way we breathe influences our nervous system. In other words, breathe better to feel better.

  • Calm Under Pressure Workshop

    The world-leading Calm Under Pressure workshop is the same mind and body training that is used to prepare elite-level athletes. It will help you optimise your health and performance at work, the sports field, or your personal life. Learn how to use stress to your advantage and control key body systems in dynamic settings, improving focus, creativity, strength, and endurance.

    The workshop is physically and mentally challenging to teach you how to control physiological and psychological responses to stressful situations. It will push your boundaries within your capacity, facilitating personal growth.

    The workshop is a unique combination of theory, skill acquisition, and practical applications to create substantial, sustainable change.

 FAQs

  • We like to make starting out simple. If you’d like to book a free 15-minute introductory call, simply click the ‘contact us’ button so we can organise a time.

    If you are ready to dive right in, please reach out via the contact page and we will be in touch to schedule your first session.

  • The first step will be for you and your therapist to get to know each other. A good therapeutic relationship is important for therapy to be supportive and so is something we prioritise. From here, you and your therapist will work together to figure out your goals and discuss the best ways of achieving them - we take a strengths based approach, focusing on and supporting your abilities, knowledge, and capacities.

    As you continue, your therapy sessions will become a space for reflection, providing you with clarity, and a sense of feeling heard, held, and understood. Your therapist will help you to see what might be out of your view. They will listen, facilitating your safe offloading and exploration

    There are hundreds of different therapeutic models. At embd, we take an integrative, mindbody, and action based approach, ensuring we tailor our mode of practice to your needs.

  • Sessions are 50 minutes in length and currently cost $220 inc. GST. If you have a Mental Health Care Plan or Private Health Care, you can claim a portion of this cost back.

  • The number of sessions you need, or choose, will depend entirely on your individual circumstances. Those interested in deeper introspection or working through various complexities or traumas may be interested in, and often benefit from, longer term therapy.

    Together we will assess your needs and situation, and decide on what will work best for you. For some people a body of work on specific issues can range from 10-18 sessions. For others who have multiple issues, complexities or interwoven concerns, a therapy commitment can range from 26-52 sessions.

  • The frequency of sessions you need, or choose, will depend entirely on your individual circumstances. Therapy is most effective when it is regular and consistent. Typically, sessions occur weekly or fortnightly, especially at the beginning. Some people might choose to decrease in frequency as they move through their therapeutic journey down to monthly and then ad-hoc.
