Begin Your Journey to Complete Wellness Today

My name is Astrid Reïne (Tworeck), I see myself as a facilitator guiding the body back towards a state of balance with the tools at my fingertips (literally). Since every person is unique I make use of my skills in slightly different ways or use different skills within different situations with the aim of alignment, stress-, tension- and pain- reduction and achieving balance, peace, harmony and vitality once more. I do constant research to improve my knowledge and techniques. With 35+ years (since 1989) of dedicated practice I now offer the unique skill of the Dorn Method & Breuss Spinal Massage (Advanced Practitioner Certification) as well as Massage, Shiatsu, Reiki and Foot reflexology. Initially I was trained in Aromatherapy (Eve Taylor/London & South African Ass of Aromatherapy/Cape Town), Foot Reflexology, Swedish massage & Cosmetology (Academy of Health & Skincare Therapy in Stellenbosch, International CIDESCO DIPLOMA).

Since then I have trained in Shiatsu, Basic Yin Shin Do and Basic Jin Shin Jitsu, Reiki (Usui /Master), Lymphatic Drainage (Dr Vodder School in Austria) Sound work, Lay Counselling (FAMSA) and use EFT (Emotional freedom technique) & Matrix Re-imprinting to help people regain emotional balance (where required, during body work sessions)

DORN METHOD

Active movement participation by the client is a requirement during these sessions. The soothing Breuss massage is often used at the end of the session.

REIKI / AURA AND CHAKRA CLEANSING

The word “Reiki” comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” meaning life force. Reiki is a type of energy healing. In the body, where there has been physical injury or even emotional pain, energy can stagnate. Reiki can help improve the flow of energy around the body and thus can enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed healing, reduce other symptoms of illness & help manage chronic diseases.

MASSAGE

Various techniques as gleaned from Swedish, Deep Tissue, Aromatherapy, is a form of manual therapy that includes holding, moving, and applying pressure to the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia. Massage therapy may help people relax, relieve stress and pain, lower blood pressure and improve circulation.

SHIATSU

In the Japanese language, shiatsu means “finger pressure”. Shiatsu techniques include massages with fingers, thumbs, elbows, knuckles, feet and palms; acupressure, assisted stretching, joint manipulation and mobilization.

FOOT REFLEXOLOGY

Involves applying gentle pressure to the feet or occasionally the hands. Reflexology works on energy pathways similar to acupuncture. It aims to relax you, ease stress and tension and help with general well being. Reflexologists believe that certain points on the feet correspond to organs in the body.

Testimonials

★★★★★

"Astrid is superbly skilled and has great healing hands. I have serious deterioration in my upper lumbar vertebrae and she applied a few sessions of Dorn Therapy followed by a Shiatsu and the relief has been incredible. I highly recommend her and you can be assured that she is very professional and skilled at what she does. Rod Fehrsen – Sedgefield"

"Astrid is a magical body worker. I came across her when someone blessed me with a voucher 2 years ago and have never looked back. Her intuitive treatments are always spot on, it's amazing how she just knows where to "put attention". Her very varied techniques are professional and effective. Do yourself a favour, bless yourself with magic hands for a while, disappear into pure bliss. You deserve it!!!!" - Tanya D - Kleinkranz

"I have known Astrid for many years and have relied on her for various different treatments, from reiki balancing sessions to reflexology to full body massages (or a combination, if you ask). She is remarkably tuned in to a body’s needs and works intuitively to correct the imbalances that she senses naturally. In terms of massage, I enjoy a strong session and I love Astrid’s immensely powerful hands, although she will modify the strength to a patient’s wishes or needs. I can highly recommend her as a natural body practitioner.” - M Renssen - Knysna
