Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

If like me you love dogs then I'm sure you also find it heart breaking to watch dogs suffer and being abandoned. 

DogsnHomes are a small local charity but are making a massive difference by rescuing dogs from Portugal and the UK, and matching them with their perfect family. I adopted both my dogs, Mika and Isla, through DogsnHomes and now I can’t imagine my life without them. As a charity solely reliant on donations, they need our help to continue their amazing work! 

I want to help them rescue more dogs

More recently DogsnHomes have got involved in helping abandoned dogs in the Ukraine and what they have achieved there so far is truly impressive. Watching Gary's (one of the founders of DogsnHomes) video from his visits to the Ukraine, I find it hard to just stand by and not do anything. This fundraiser is me trying to do my bit. 

How can YOU help?

Treat yourself or a loved one to a relaxing and restorative one-hour massage with me in return for a donation to DogsnHomes Rescue. Book as many sessions as you like; I suggest a donation of at least £39 per session - or of course more if you wish! 

In return you receive a 1-hour massage session 

You will be receiving a biodynamic massage. I have spent the past two years training for this and I am a couple of months away from qualifying. 

Biodynamic massage is great if you feel stressed, have chronic pains or suffer from anxiety, depression or emotional issues. We hold onto an awful lot of things in our bodies and biodynamic massage helps release stuck energy. To read more about this beautiful type of massage - see further down the page.

What to do next

Go to https://calendly.com/iwienholts/massage and you will find a calendar that shows the slots still available. You can book as many sessions as you wish. The massages will be in Fleet.

What else do you need to know?

• Please donate when you book your session by clicking the "Give Now" button top right of this page
• If you need to reschedule, please do so more than 48 hours ahead of the session - so that the slot can be filled by someone else
• The massage sessions will be in Fleet, Hampshire
  
• I am fully insured as a trainee massage therapist

Thank you so much for your support, I greatly appreciate it.

About biodynamic massage   

Biodynamic Massage can reach deeper than any other massage. Accumulated stress can play havoc with our minds and with our bodies. Biodynamic Massage is designed to help us literally digest our stress, not just in our minds but also in our bodies (Gerda Boyesen’s theory of the ‘psycho-peristalsis’ of the intestines). We use different techniques and levels of touch to suit each person’s needs and body type. Biodynamic Massage is often used within Biodynamic Psychotherapy, to open up the richness of our inner world. It can also be enjoyed by people not in psychotherapy.

In the later trimesters of pregnancy Biodynamic Massage can be a valuable aid to relaxation and harmony. It is not advisable to embark on this in the first trimester.

How is it different from other types of massage?

• As well as helping the body, it touches the whole person,  feelings, mind and spirit      
• We can work either directly on the skin, or through light clothing, and we use no oil or powder    
• We listen through a stethoscope to the sounds in your belly, which we use as a biofeedback, to tell us from moment to moment how you are responding to our touch.

 How can Biodynamic Massage be helpful to you?

• Restoring well-being and vitality
• Supporting you at times of stress
• Bringing inner balance and serenity
• Alleviating symptoms of a wide range of chronic diseases 
• And much much more
