Learn how Innate Holistic Healing can help you, locally right here on the Sunshine Coast
The term innate health refers to the intrinsic healing intelligence that resides within every person, regardless of past experiences, current life circumstances or presenting mental, emotional and physical state. There are thousands of miraculous functions occurring in our bodies all working together to achieve homeostasis or balance. Your autonomic nervous system (ANS) controlling 80% of your bodily functions, is part of your innate intelligence.
A mixture of modalities to balance the mind, body and spirit.

Energy Healing
“One whose physiology is balanced, whose digestion is balanced, whose bodily processes and channels are functioning normally, and whose senses, mind and inner self are filled with bliss, such one is called a healthy person”
— Sushruta Samhita, Su. 15.38 (Ayurvedic text)
We are all born whole.
Holistic healing is about a reconnection to your natural state of health.
We are all born whole. We are brought into this world with our own unique blueprint and state of innate health. However the subsequent experiences and environments we are exposed to throughout life, whilst striving to meet the demands of the world dynamically influence our natural state of health.
We continue to navigate through life, lacking the awareness of the disconnection it creates until our bodies communicate this to us through a decline in emotional wellbeing, pain or dis-ease. The degree to which we have departed from our state of innate health will determine what we need to regain balance, and this can look different for everyone on many different levels.
At Innate Holistic Healing, Nicola specialises in reconnecting people back to their natural state of health, to bring ease and flow back into people’s lives and bodies so they can continue to flourish throughout life.
Nicola intuitively integrates a unique combination of Clinical, Holistic, Energy and Scientific techniques into her sessions to provide a broader base of treating the whole body, restoring balance physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Bowen Therapy
Bowenwork® is a highly effective but light touch therapy that initiates a complex self-corrective feedback mechanism through stimulation of the nervous, musculoskeletal, fascial and energetic systems of the human body.
A sequence of Bowen ‘moves’, are performed on specific points in the body, interspersed with rest intervals not unlike acupuncture. The ‘moves’ stimulate mechanoreceptors (nerve endings), overlying muscles, which also correlate with acupoints.
The body’s response to this stimulation can look & feel different for each individual depending on the healing process of their own body’s inherent wisdom. This process includes a balancing of the autonomic nervous system and changes in the musculoskeletal system as the body moves towards increased symmetry and homeostasis. These effects in turn, remove blockages that can become stored in the body over time, and free the flow of energy in the body.
For best results it is recommended to have an initial 3 sessions 5-10 days apart as the body is still processing during this time. Other bodywork should be avoided so the nervous system, body and brain have the opportunity to integrate without interference.
Spinal Flow
Spinal flow is a subtle yet powerful technique that transforms client’s wellbeing by connecting them to what already works in their body.
The body has an inherent intelligence that helps us adapt to all kinds of stressors in order to maintain homeostasis, however these stressors also create blockages (tension) in the spine. This causes ‘static’ interference between the brain and nervous system upsetting the equilibrium of your natural state. The three most common forms of stressors that create spinal blockages are emotional stress, chemical stress from the environment and foods we eat, and physical stress from injuries and postural strain. These are stored in the body and manifest in the way of pain, dis-ease or a feeling of disconnection from life.
The technique uses 33 access points located on the dura mater of the spine that attaches to our sacrum, coccyx and cranium initiating the body’s self-organization and regulating wisdom. This creates an energy or spinal wave which flows through the spine releasing locked patterns and spinal subluxations creating more ease and well-being in the body.
It is a powerful and transformative experience for many of Nicola’s clients. Each session is unique to the individual, as they progress through the layers stored in their body within their own innate healing capacity on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.

Bowen Therapy Your Session
A Bowen Therapy session will generally last around 15-45 minutes and includes essential pauses between each series of moves to give your body time to integrate the neurological signals. The most common reactions to a Bowen work session during treatments are a deep sense of overall relaxation and lessening of muscular tension and pain.
Spinal Flow Session
Spinal Flow sessions range from 30-45mins. During treatment Clients are encouraged to focus on different areas of their spine to create more connection and awareness in their body. Many clients feel deeply relaxed however going to sleep is discouraged to enable them to be an active participant in the healing. A deeper connection to the innate ‘spinal wave’ of the body is gently facilitated in each session, to bring more breath and movement through the spine. The spinal wave typically presents in three different ways; movement, perception or breath, however this can look and feel different for each individual depending on how their body chooses to respond in that particular session.
How many treatments will I need?
Bowen Therapy – Ideally, treatments should be scheduled between 5-7 days apart and an initial set of 3 treatments is recommended in order to obtain the optimum results. However, there are always exceptions to any rule, and some people will need further or even on-going treatment.
Spinal Flow – This is dependent on each individual and their healing capacity. Acute conditions can usually be resolved quite quickly, whereas chronic conditions tend to take more time as we unravel the layers stored in the body. Weekly sessions are recommended for new clients until desired results are achieved.
Once clients presenting conditions resolve, they often choose to continue seeing Innate Holistic Healing for 4-6 weekly sessions to maintain their health and wellbeing.
The Healing Process
The first 24 hours after treatment should be restful. Do not overdo things with regard to exercise or exertion. Your body will continue to process and respond to the healing signals for up to 10 days after each session. A gentle walk to stimulate the lymphatic system will be beneficial.
Occasionally clients may experience detoxification sensations generally for two or three days after a session, which can include sensations of but not limited to: aching muscles, tiredness, mild nausea, mild headache, changes in sensation of temperature, minor changes in elimination and a dry mouth.
Increasing your water intake is recommended to assist in the toxin elimination process.
Some people may also experience an emotional release if the body is holding any suppressed trauma or experience which maybe blocking the body’s ability to heal.
Nicola emphasises that each session is unique to the individual, as they progress through the layers stored in their body within their own innate healing capacity on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
