Individual Sessions – Skype
An individual session takes about an hour. If you’re around Wellington region we can do them in person, otherwise it works just as well on skype. We need a bit of space to walk, any large room, and some clothes that fit quite well makes it easier but otherwise it’s the same process. I work normally in Raumati Beach on the Kapiti Coast but, by arrangement I’m happy to travel to meet people and groups.
My Skype address is Nik_Curry.
The initial session is an opportunity to assess your movement and the problems you’re having now. I’ll help you gain a full understanding of the challenges and difficulties that are troubling you. We address the habits, beliefs, assumptions and actions that have created your present situation. These will help us determine your three postural keys.
Most people need three or four sessions, depending on your unique pattern and problems. These sessions are seen as interventions, not treatments, and happen over 3 – 6 weeks.
The first two sessions are to determine your pattern and establish your three keys, which allow you to find a balanced central position, then to affirm the position and the three keys and begin to use them in movement. These interventions will increase your awareness and knowledge of the causes of the problems, and how to resolve them . This is where you start gaining the tools you need in the process of balancing your own body.
Subsequent sessions cost less and are shorter as they are for progressions and modifications of your movement and to address more specific skills required for sports, work or the challenges of your particular situation.
It’s a process, not an event. It’s take a while to really ‘own’ the changes, but the effects are often much quicker. So after the individual sessions you move on to the weekly classes.
Workshops
Workshops are for everyone. Workshops can be arranged for workplaces, specific interest groups, practitioner groups, families and sports teams or any group of 8 – 12 people
Level 1 workshops run for 4 hours of work time, with a break. People work together as we cover the initial one-on-one sessions content and finish by finding everyone’s central position and three individual keys.
Level 2 workshops assure that the group is on the right path. It progresses the three keys and introduces new skills, relevant to each persons path. Working in a group lets you see the same ideas from different perspectives.
Workshops can be held at your office, club or workplace. Following a workshop questionnaires and other educational materials are sent to group members. For booking information and pricing, contact me at posturenik@gmail.com or 0272737007
Discounted rates are offered to non-profits and charitable organisations.
Public Speaking
I’m available for booking as a public speaker. I’ve spoken at conferences, to business groups in corporate settings, business organisations as well as to medical practitioners of all kinds.
I enjoy discussing about the way we learn to use our bodies. I explain how your individual postural pattern develops totally unconsciously and how this ‘secret’ pattern influences everything you do and the way you do it.
The talks are interactive, so expect to move a bit. They’re fun and informative. They’ll change the way you think about how you use your body and where you aches and pains are coming from. Usually they take about an hour.
