Body Stress Release with Kathy Heapy
Kathy is one of a few people who honour seeing an individual as a combination of mind, body and soul. This level of understanding and compassion is what enables her to work so successfully as a Body Stress Release practitioner. Coming from a corporate background, Kathy understands how daily stress can affect our psyches and the affect it has on our bodies. Kathy practices with a multidisciplinary team at a wellness centre in Crowthorne, Midrand and delights in seeing people thrive, emotionally and physically.
Having endured migraines from a young age and exploring numerous remedies without relief, Kathy discovered Body Stress Release (BSR) in 2009 on a colleague’s recommendation. She has worked as a BSR practitioner since 2010 – using the unique non-therapeutic complementary health technique in the Midrand, Gauteng area, and has never looked back on leaving the corporate world.
I was referred to Kathy’s practice by a friend.
Ten years ago a neurosurgeon that I consulted said I have spondylosis in my neck with my discs deteriorating and that I may need surgery in the future.
I was really struggling with pain in my neck and my middle back. I went to Kathy for the first three sessions as part of the Intensive Phase and it helped tremendously.
I still find from time to time when I am under severe stress that I seem to battle with my neck, and then I go for a session and within a day I am completely pain free again.
I can really recommend BSR and especially Kathy’s practice.

WHY DO PEOPLE SEEK BODY STRESS RELEASE CARE?
Most usually people are looking for relief from pain, stiffness or other discomfort. Often it is because of lower back pain or leg pain, caused by stored tension in the lumbar spine; headaches, resulting from body stress in the neck; numb fingers due to compression in the lower neck affecting the nerve supply to the arms and hands.
However, BSR has a broader objective – it is concerned with assisting the body in maintaining health.
