Welcome to Inspiring Wellness
At Inspiring Wellness, we understand that anxiety isn't just a mental battle; it's a physical one as well.
Stress and trauma plays a major role in how anxiety develops and shows up in the body.
Anxiety, in the majority of cases, comes from a dysregulated nervous system.
We work with how stress patterns affect the body, mind and nervous system over time.
To address the nervous system, we integrate two powerful healing modalities that very few people in New Zealand are aware of. Not only do we work with your nervous system, but we also help you with your mindset/thinking.
But the biggest point of difference is how we actually work directly with your nervous system, and if you are serious about reducing anxiety, you need to address it at this level - especially if you want sustainable change. This is why the bodywork that we do, to address the nervous system, is so valuable.
Many common symptoms of anxiety are a result of us being stuck in survival mode from life's stresses & traumas, and when the fight-or-flight switch is turned 'off', people's symptoms go and their lives transform..
"Anxiety is not a disorder of the mind, but a physiological state that has become dysregulated. The key to resolving it lies in the body."
Dr Peter Levine, Ph.D.
Time for a new you
We're offering you a FREE Assessment as our gift to you.
Starting something new can be a bit scary or uncomfortable. Also many of my clients have told me that they have tried so many things that have not worked. So naturally a little bit skeptical, and hesitant to spend money on something that might not work.
I am very confident that if you give yourself the chance to explore some sessions with the work we do - you will be so pleased you did. To help you get started I am offering you your first Assessment, free of charge.
There is a $50 deposit, which will be refunded at your appointment. We do this to avoid last-minute cancellations/ no-shows.
Please read the rest of the page and information on how to get this offer.
The Power of Network Spinal Analysis in Releasing Stress & Anxiety
The only way to fully understand this approach is to have the sessions. Because once you experience what it feels like to have stress & anxiety released from your body, then you will know what it is.
When you feel what it's like to no longer have the fight-or-flight switch "ON" all the time, you will experience a new peace and enjoyment in life.
Why It's Essential to Work with the Body in Anxiety Recovery
Anxiety affects more than just your thoughts and emotions. It can alter your body's natural reactions, leaving you in a constant state of alertness or numbness, can't sleep, stressed, depressed, defensive, angry, reactive... there are so many ways it can express itself..
Stress and trauma gets anchored into the body, and this needs to be addressed.
Most people I meet in my clinic have tried breathing techniques, medication, and/or therapy/counselling. NONE of these common approaches work on the stress anchored into the nervous system.
Yes, many people find these approaches a little bit helpful for a short period of time. Or, they find that because of these methods, they are able to manage their anxiety a little bit better - but not move beyond it!
And to move beyond anxiety, to make it a thing of the past, you need to release all the tension that is bound in the nervous system that has accumulated over life from the stresses and traumas you have experienced.
Our techniques for doing this not only successfully retrain your nervous system for healthier new responses, but will also result in many positive shifts too; such as more flexibility, more energy, better sleep, less reaction to stress, and less pain and tension in general.
Rather than being stuck in reactive anxious mode - the flight or fight, or what we call 'defensive physiology' - you will move into a more relaxed and proactive state of being - what we call a 'growth physiology'. We have helped hundreds of people make shifts they did not even think were possible, and we love what we do. We also really care about our clients and your transformation is important to us!
"Our physiology keeps a memory of every emotional experience. To heal anxiety, we must reconnect with the body and its sensations."
Dr Gabor Maté, Physician and mind-body specialist.
"The body has been left out of the talking cure. Yet the body is where the fear, the anxiety, and the survival responses live."
Dr Pat Ogden, Sensorimotor Psychotherapist

I have learned to live life looking forwards rather than backwards – focusing on where I am going rather than just getting away from the pain in my past. My experience of everyday life is vastly improved because of this.
What I love most about the care that Dov offers is that he works directly with the way I store tension in my body to release that tension. That in combination with addressing the thinking aspect of how I do life works like magic! I don’t try to understand what Dov does or how he works anymore because I simply don’t get it! But what I do know is that his methods DO work. The effects are long term rather than just being situational and he has taught me techniques that I am able to implement in a multitude of situations – forever onwards.

I first met Dov when i was too scared to contemplate the future and was continually looking over my shoulder at the past. I was trapped in fear. Before meeting Dov I had tried many other approaches to work through the anxiety, most of which suppressed it just increasing the fear.
Meeting with Dov was different. His connectedness, optimism , understanding, belief in me and non judgmental approach – combined with regular nsa and many practical strategies assisted me greatly in shifting the beliefs and thought patterns that had taken over my life.
If you have the opportunity to cross paths with this inspiring man, be prepared because your life will never be the same again.

"You cannot reduce anxiety simply by thinking differently. The nervous system must gain a new experience of safety."
