How it all started
Takako Jawor has been a qualified remedial massage therapist since 2008. Over the years of treating client’s physical issues, Takako realised that bodyworkers need to address root causes of physical problems in order to treat the physical dysfunctions. Her passion to support clients lead to study Inner Space Techniques(IST) which are mindfulness practices that sourcing client’s deeper issues within the deeper psyche.
What is IST?
Inner Space Techniques (IST) are mindfulness practices which focus on finding sources of emotional/physical/behavioral issues. For example a client comes to the clinic with shoulder stiffness for massage. Remedial massage can relieve the stiffness by physically manipulate soft tissues that can last for few days or a week. However shoulder stiffness can return in the near future if the root causes – stresses or emotional trauma – were not addressed, as we tend to hold our body in fight or flight situation by stiffening our body for protecting vital organs. IST is directly aiming to find the root causes that manifesting as physical discomfort.
IST also can address mechanism of thoughts that is unconscious to our ordinary mind. By having dialogue with a practitioner, clients discover the inner landscape of their thoughts and gain clarity in empowering their life by taking ownership of body and mind.
Some clients uses IST as a self-discovering tool. It addresses obstacles and challenges of recurrent emotional reactions and patterns that’s in the way to achieve their life goals.
Our approach
Takako’s vision is to support client’s wellbeing at the level of where they are, by using both bodywork and IST. She believes that success to transformation is an accumulation of persistence and habit. Bodywork provides building and maintenance of outer body, and IST provides inner bodybuilding of clarity and a resilient mind.
