Healing Therapy
Joan Carpenter is a therapist and practitioner of body work, meditation, visualisation, self-inquiry, and journaling. Her practice, Listening Hands Therapy, focuses on the heart-felt connection of body, mind, and spirit; and the support, enhancement, and guidance that connection provides. These body-led sessions are uniquely individual to each client – guided by what they need at the time. The client’s body leads the way for the release, an ‘unwinding’ of tension, discomfort, trauma, and pain. As the therapist, Joan is present, paying attention to what the body is showing her and ‘listening’ to it with her hands.
Joan Carpenter’s services include Biodynamic Cranial Touch and Myofascial Release, which she began her journey with in 2007. In 2010, Joan began training with Giorgia Milne and Biodynamic Cranial Touch. This transformed her practice, ‘Listening Hands Therapy’, into what it is today.

Unconscious beliefs and habitual patterns can leave us feeling stuck and uncertain about how to create change in our lives.
The Hakomi method uses mindfulness to create a safe container for the client, enabling present moment experience to be explored in a process known as assisted self study. The client is gently and respectfully supported to notice and bring awareness to internal sensations, images, memories, thoughts, emotions or impulses. Through this process insights can be gained and emotions released, allowing new forms of nourishment to be taken in.
Hakomi has enabled me to access inner strength and make clearer decisions about how to move forward in my life.
