Healing modalities

Storytellers Wellness is a natural healing practice rooted in the landscape of Rocklands, Cederberg. The practitioner, one half of our husband and wife team, is Tracy du Plessis. Her practice weaves together modern kinesiology and ancient wisdom, rooted in the plants of the Cederberg.

Specialised Kinesiology or “muscle monitoring” is a therapeutic approach that uses muscle testing as a form of biofeedback. This directs the work through a variety of treatment modalities. The aim is aim to balance your body’s energy and promote self-healing by discovering and clearing physical, emotional, and energetic blockages.
Depending on what is needed, the work done in a session may be structural (e.g. for postural alignment and injuries), mental/emotional process work, energetic (e.g. chakra and meridian work) or even biochemical (dietary issues, allergies, etc). Most often, it is all interconnected. A kinesiologist is a facilitator, not a fixer. While corrections are offered to rebalance, realign and reintegrate, I also offer clients the opportunity to view their challenges with perspective and make their own changes for long term healing; empowered to do their own work. If that resonates with you, I invite you to be in touch.

Plant medicine: Plants are keepers of ancient wisdom and stories. The more we learn about a plant, whether studying its phytochemistry, the environment it prefers, its growth habits, its stories and traditions, its uses, appearance, taste and the experience of ingesting it, the more we start to understand its teachings. I am fortunate to be working with the plants of the Cederberg as well descendants of the people who first called this biome their home, and whose wisdom is still alive. In the shop, you will find my own writings and creations (Storytellers Fynbos Apothecary), as well as the fynbos creations of these indigenous knowledge holders (FynbosMengsels).
