In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Helen Robinson who is the creator of Gentle Release Therapy - a therapy which draws on the fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine to assist the body and mind in releasing stress and tension.

After losing her parents and having difficulties with fertility, Helen began researching to find answers to help her conceive. This led to her changing career and becoming a complementary therapist.

Over time her treatments began to evolve into something unique, and Gentle Release Therapy was born.

Taking inspiration from her dad who had created a traffic control system which in turn helped to grow a community, Helen decided it was time to teach others this modality building a community of Gentle Release Therapists.

• “When we go through difficult situations in life, whether it's sort of infertility or losing people, it often allows us then to start reflecting inward or to go beyond the current medical model or knowledge to find out what else is out there.”
