Intuitive Bodywork
🌿 Healing & Movement with Odette
With over 30 years of experience, Odette offers deeply intuitive and holistic sessions that support physical, emotional, and energetic wellbeing. Her work draws from a rich blend of Western and Eastern bodywork traditions, integrating structural techniques with energy-based practices to meet the whole person — body, mind, and spirit — in each session.
✨ Intuitive Bodywork
Intuitive Bodywork is a unique style developed by Odette and continuously evolving through over three decades of hands-on experience, presence, and deep listening to the body. Each session is an organic, responsive journey, guided by the body’s needs in the moment and shaped by an integrated understanding of structure, flow, and energy.
Blending deep tissue release, gentle fascial work, joint mobilization, meridian therapy, breath awareness, and lymphatic drainage & more, this approach supports realignment, nervous system regulation, and a sense of reconnection to self. No two sessions are the same — each one invites deep rest, release, and renewal on every level.
👣 Reflexology, Meridian Therapy & CFT
Odette offers reflexology and meridian therapy, supporting the body’s natural healing through both physical and energetic pathways. She also works with Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) — a gentle, integrative approach that helps restore nervous system balance and release fascial tension. CFT is effective and safe for people of all ages, from newborns to elders.
🔔 Sound & Body Alignment Therapy
Sound is woven into Odette’s healing work through sessions using a monochord bed and other resonant instruments. These vibrational landscapes invite rest, alignment, and emotional release.
Sound sessions are often combined with Body Alignment Therapy, encouraging deep integration and a return to internal harmony. Like her bodywork, her sound offerings are intuitive and grounding, creating space for stillness and inner clarity.
🧘 Yoga & Embodied Movement
Odette also offers yoga classes and private sessions that centre embodied movement, breath awareness, and presence. Her aerial yoga sessions use soft fabric hammocks to support the body in both grounding and suspended postures — allowing for decompression of the spine, playful exploration of movement, and deep release through inversion and flow. These sessions are gentle, creative, and accessible, helping participants reconnect with their bodies in new and empowering ways.
🙌🏼 Bodywork Training
Odette’s Intuitive Bodywork Training is an immersive journey into the art of hands on healing touch — a synthesis of decades of experience, embodied wisdom, and the subtle language of the body. This training invites practitioners to slow down, listen, and work from intuition as much as from technique.
A Fusion of Eastern & Western Modalities
Odette’s teaching draws on a rich blend of both Western and Eastern bodywork traditions, weaving them into a fluid, heart-led approach that honours the whole person — body, mind, and energetic field.
Participants are guided through foundations and principles inspired by the following modalities: Swedish Massage, Therapeutic Massage, Reflexology, Lymphatic Drainage, Shiatsu, Meridian Therapy, Indian Head Massage, Body Alignment, Energetic Healing
Rather than learning a rigid method, students are encouraged to explore how these modalities can interact, complement one another, and ultimately dissolve into a more intuitive way of working.
A Training Anchored in Presence
At the core of Intuitive Bodywork is deep presence & listening — the capacity to meet another human being with openness, sensitivity, and attunement. Through hands-on exploration, partner work, observation, and reflection, participants learn to navigate between structure and intuition — feeling how to engage technique and attune it to the receivers needs in the moment.

A Pathway to Embodied Healing
Intuitive Bodywork is more than a modality — it is a relationship with touch, with stillness, and with the deeper intelligence that lives within the body. Odette’s training is an invitation to enter this relationship with clarity, humility, and curiosity.
Whether you are seeking new skills, deeper confidence, or a more soulful way of supporting others, this training offers a spacious, supported environment to grow into your own gifts as a healing practitioner.
Some recent Testimonials from course participants
I initially found myself struggling to reduce an experience that was for me beyond words, to words.
This morning I woke with this forming itself:
"It takes a true practitioner of this vital nurture and healing art to bring but a small part of such a big and interconnected practice in such a way that gives participants a real vision of the depth and value of the whole. It was intriguing, informative and heartwarming, inspiring me to want to learn more. Experiences of vulnerability were held beautifully and good humor and curiosity infused the day. The space was exquisitely superquiet, without background music. .. and the food was yummy. .. more please ! Thank you Odette, my feet and hands remember everything. " PAT
