About

Michal Klimek

Bodywork Therapist

I am a dedicated MER practitioner and intuitive healer with a diverse background transiting psychoanalysis, behavioural science, and holistic health. My transformative journey commenced within an intimate tribe of healers and has since evolved, guided by a deep exploration of the profound connection between the mind and body. Breaking away from traditional theories and practices, I embraced alternative models, drawing inspiration from Osho's teachings, which emphasise the unity of mind, body, and spirit. A pivotal moment came through the study of the eminent psychoanalyst William Reich, revealing how our bodies mirror and adapt to our unique personality templates, igniting a profound fascination with the interplay between psyche and soma. Further exploration led me to the world of Alexander Lowen's bioenergetic analysis, offering an enthralling journey of self-discovery.

Departing from conventional approaches, my quest aimed to comprehend the human personality through the lens of the human body, placing a strong emphasis on holistic perspectives in the realm of healing. As a devoted student of Satyarthi Peloquin, the visionary creator of the original MER method (Myofascial Energetic Release), I gained profound insights into the intricacies of the body's structure and multifaceted functions. Complementing this foundation, my training at the Integral Body Institute further enriched their knowledge, encompassing various massage healing techniques, including joint release, trauma healing, craniosacral therapy, and Biodynamic Breath and Trauma Release by Giten Tonkov.

In addition to my healing work, I actively address male trauma and participate in men's circles and workshops. These meetings explore personal development themes, focusing on the psychological challenges and societal expectations men face. My unwavering commitment to a holistic approach, rooted in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, has positioned them as a trusted and transformative presence in holistic healing and the sphere of men's mental and emotional well-being.

Mission

My mission is to guide you on a journey toward a healthier and more conscious life through a holistic approach that embraces the wisdom of body and breath. In personalized sessions, I create a space for healing and self-discovery, supported by a team of professionals dedicated to refining our techniques on the path of personal development.
I'm passionate about hosting workshops and retreats that offer a deep dive into practices for nurturing body, mind, and spirit. These events are designed to foster a supportive community and provide a break from daily life, allowing for profound personal growth and healing.
My goal is to illuminate the possibilities within you, guiding you to unlock your full potential for well-being and mindfulness with a commitment to continuous learning and evidence-based practices.

Vision

My vision is rooted in the belief that the holistic integration of body, mind, and emotions forms the cornerstone of true wellness. Inspired by the profound teachings of the Integral Body Institute, I am committed to spreading this wisdom on a global scale, offering regular bodywork sessions that cater to diverse populations. My approach is designed to facilitate the release of both physical and emotional pain, nurturing a journey towards healing and self-discovery.
Zen Bodywork is at the heart of my practice, which underscores our beliefs' powerful role in the healing process. I advocate for a mindset where positivity fosters growth, and honesty is pivotal in challenging and transforming counterproductive perceptions. It's my firm belief that tapping into our intuitive guidance is crucial for overcoming the unconscious barriers to our well-being.
By embodying this vision, I aim to provide immediate relief and cultivate a deeper understanding and connection within people, empowering them to navigate their paths to healing with confidence and clarity.

Values

My core values are deeply rooted in the belief that enhancing the quality of life is fundamental to achieving true well-being. I am dedicated to an ongoing journey of self-discovery and expanding my knowledge to understand better the inner guide that directs us all. I hold the conviction that through empathy, compassion, and love, we can access our deepest insights, leading to profound and immediate relief from discomfort, pain, and emotional turmoil.
Meditation plays a crucial role in my practice, serving as a key to quieting the mind. This provides a sanctuary of peace in the present and fosters long-term transformations. Through meditation, we can achieve significant changes in the structural and functional integration of ourselves, paving the way for emotional liberation and psychological and behavioural evolution.
In incorporating these values, my aim is to create a space where individuals feel supported on their path to healing and growth. By embracing these principles, we can journey together towards a state of holistic health, where the mind, body, and spirit are in harmonious alignment, unlocking our full potential for a richer, more fulfilled life.

Myofascial Energetic Release (MER)

Myofascial Energetic Release is considered the 'missing link' in massage and bodywork and is effective in treating pain and trauma.

Myofascial Energetic Release is a specialized physical and manual therapy used to effectively treat and recover soft tissue and fascial tension and restrictions. The word 'myofascia' is derived from the Latin word 'myo' meaning muscle, and 'fascia,' meaning band or bandage.

Fascia surrounds, fills, and protects every tissue, tendon, muscle, bone, ligament, and organ of your body. It is the connective tissue that holds the body together. The fascial system is a softening and supportive mechanism allowing the body to move safely without restriction or pain. In an ideal condition, the fascial system is relaxed and wavy in shape. In a system that is causing aches, pain, and restriction, the fascia has lost its pliability and is dehydrated, stiff, and stuck.

Fascia also responds to our emotional states and holds on to emotional memories. This dysregulation can be defined as difficulty or inability to cope, change or regulate painful emotional experiences. Feeling like sadness, anxiety, pain, and past trauma can embed themselves deep into the fascia.

Research has proven that fascia, like a muscle, has the ability to contract and relax and plays a major role in the mobility and stability of joints. Fascia acts as a tension and integrity model where tension and resistance rely on each other for stability. The fascial system can therefore be considered an interconnected secondary nervous system that transmits energy and information from head to toe. With this in mind, we can understand why sometimes pain in one part of our body can spread into other seemingly random unrelated body parts.

MER massage allows the client to enter a deep feeling of relaxation. Energy is stimulated to flow freely and nourish the body. The fascial areas that have become restricted through bad postural habits or over-use will feel looser, the body more open, and psychological bracing patterns released.

Services

MER

Myofascial Energetic Release

(MER) is a deep, intuitive touch and holistic stress management. My goal is to help others find space and peace in the body and relieve pain to live a healthier and more conscious life. I work in synergy with the body and mind, combining various methods of fascia relaxation, assistive joint stretching and conscious breathing in the complete sense of touch. I also add tuning fork vibrations and sounds individually selected for the session to the healing art.

Holistic massage

Holistic Massage

it should be seen as a nurturing process of touch and response. The key here is to tailor treatment to each person's unique needs, physical characteristics and personality. I often explain that I massage people, not bodies. For example, my approach to a person who comes to me to work through the trauma of a history of sexual abuse is very different from someone who just needs to loosen stiff shoulders after sitting too long in front of a computer screen.

Do tego dochodzi technika i fenomenalne wyczucie potrzeb ciała. Masaż totalnie mnie zrelaksował i rozluźnił, a po nim emanowałam wielką radością i blaskiem. Gorąco z serca polecam!

Michal doesn’t leave any stone unturned! He's very intuitive and skilful. The professionalism, attention to detail ( ambient music and sounds ), and the most comfortable massaging table I had laid on! The scents. It makes for a healing and holistic experience; for me he's one of the best in the UK.

After a transformative Myofascial Energetic Release session aimed at relieving jaw tension, I not only experienced significant physical relief but also reconnected my mind and heart, leading to a profound sense of inner peace. The practitioner's expertise in releasing both physical tightness and energetic blockages facilitated a deep emotional and energetic shift, unlike anything I had experienced before. This therapy has profoundly impacted my overall well-being, harmonizing my physical, emotional, and energetic states in a truly remarkable way.
