I am writing about my experience of being a patient of Kate Greenaway at Universal Medicine and the benefits I received through ongoing treatments.
I started seeing Kate Greenaway in 2007- 2008 at age 38 for treatments relating to stiffness, mobility and associated pain in my neck from two car accidents in my twenties, one near fatal, as well as 15-20 years of being hard on my body working in the construction/building industry, and also sporting injuries
The first thing I noticed when I first started the treatments was the gentleness and non-invasive nature of them. There was also a strong depth of connection felt and a few times I even fell asleep in the session, which was rare for me as for twenty years previously I had been running on a lot of adrenaline and could only fall asleep at the end of a day – self medicated with dope and alcohol. I only had two speeds – flat out, or flat, passed out.
So profound was my experience that it made me more interested in myself health wise, and also the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
There have been at least two occasions where my lower back went out, to the point of not being able to walk properly or drive a car. I was astounded that, in this case, with one session of light connective tissue work, gentle Esoteric Massage and cranial sacral work from Kate Greenaway, my back was fixed. Prior to seeing her, in a state of panic I went somewhere else twice and was painfully stretched and cracked but it did not relieve the problem.
Astounded and happy to be pain free I continued to see Kate regularly through 2008 and 2009. My body was feeling better – no chronic neck pain, and my mobility was a lot better. I then started to take better care of myself and learn to know my limitations and the old patterns of overdoing it dissipated.
During this time and even more now, I realised that this Esoteric Healing can go very deep, deeper than anything else that I have experienced so far, and when we take responsibility for ourselves and our wellbeing, mixed with a healthy more balanced lifestyle and loving relationships it creates a life where joy can be a constant theme. Not just pushing to get things done, or the ‘no pain no gain’ slogan I’d heard all my life.
I now live my life without pain or stiffness in my back, neck and shoulders, I feel like my body is closer to my twenties/teens in suppleness – not the hard-ass version I had been creating previously.
Thank you Kate and Serge Benhayon, and the other UniMed practioners I have seen, for the life changing effect of these healing modalities. Keep up the great work you guys do for people everywhere.
Great post Greg. I love the two speeds expression you used – flat out/passed out – it sums us up well as a society these days and I too was once a ‘member of that club’. I have never had a treatment with Kate, but my son who was 14-15 at the time did and he shouted out loud how amazing yet so simple it was. I loved reading how just by connecting to Kate and her absolutely lovely – tender, calm and truly compassionate energy you were inspired to look much deeper into your own life and your unloving choices which led to you to change where change was needed.
Awesome how through a loving gentle way we are given the opportunity ‘again’ of feeling that which is loving. We then have the opportunity to deepen the healing and the connection with our true selves. So simple and yet amazing.
Greg,I agree with what you express here. I had had previous car accidents, a hard body from black belt kick boxing amongst other things, and in my sessions with Kate Greenaway I simply started to melt, and could feel at such a deep level changes in my body. I had had osteopathy/physio without connective tissue work and it had been previous to Kate Greenaway practised in a hard forcible way at my local hospital,or in the local chiropractors and had been a painful scary process having joints realigned, and whilst I felt there was a place for these things, the way Kate Greenaway offers her treatments with the tenderness and delicateness was able to support my body in a deeper way than ever before.
“Joy can be a constant theme”, this is an inspiring statement knowing that it has come from someone who experienced a lot of chronic pain in the body. The choices made and the support you have allowed and given to yourself is what self love is all about.
This is awesome Greg, thank-you. I can relate to my own ‘pushing it’ hardness – and have also experienced nothing but the most amazing and graceful support in sessions with Kate Greenaway. The sessions have helped me let go of so many harsh ways.. assisting me to deepen the way I honour myself in my daily living, enormously so. Just being with Kate, and the way she conducts herself in her own body, always shows me so much..
I particularly appreciate your article here, as my husband has experienced a similar transformation – from the “two speeds” he lived, to the gentle and tender man he can now allow himself to be (& he’s still also in the building industry, and works a lot of hours). To witness men change such “hard ass”(!) ways is truly inspirational, and it’s nothing short of joyful to share my life with a man who has, and continues, to make such changes for himself – deeply inspiring for how I am with my own body, and so lovely that he’s not at the ‘passed out speed’ at the end of his work day..
