I’m Gareth Toner, a teacher and bodyworker. My goal is to help people feel and relate to their body, enabling a deeper relationship with ourselves, people and our environment. In a reciprocal relationship with self, others and the world we live in less pain, disconnection, stress and anxiety.
I have completed training programs in body-based relational approaches that integrate trauma-informed neurobiology with the art of deep listening, touch, presence and body awareness. The foundation of my clinical practice is based on the principles of biodynamic craniosacral therapy (BCST).
Before transitioning into the world of body-based practices I was a Physical Education Teacher. Now I work full-time teaching others about the wonders of the human body and how we can creatively feel and reorganise our health from within, running regular clinics within Northern Ireland and facilitating groups both online and in-person throughout Europe with Body Intelligence Trainings.
My clinic and teaching approach embodies and conveys the complex principles of health in an accessible, gentle, compassionate and simple way.
Additionally, I teach individuals and hold workshops introducing individuals and groups to ‘Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE), a self-regulation tool supporting health. Also, Embodied Listening with the Elmfield Institute. I am a Registered Craniosacral Therapist with the Craniosacral Therapy Association in the UK. Also, a registered TRE Provider and Mentor with TRE For ALL
