Debbie Linger | Viveka

Debbie Linger is a member of the Jeyarani team, and brings a range of skills to her work with pregnant women, including reflexology, hypnotherapy, creative healing and Bowen Therapy. 

Role:

Jeyarani Gentle Birth Practitioner 

Qualifications:

Member of the Association of Reflexologists 'M.A.R'; Registered practitioner General Hypnotherapy Council 'GHR'; Creative Healer; Bowen Therapist - The Bowen School.

Core belief/passion:

I thoroughly enjoy supporting women through pregnancy, parental bonding and to see them develop into parents. All Jeyarani Gentle Birth practioners are passionate about using our therapies to improve ailments in pregnancy so women can enjoy a positive experence. It is also a great pleasure to meet the babies! 

I like:

Marmite, sunshine and scuba diving ...  But maybe that's not the answer you wanted? I like empowering women to look after their own health and  to support changing patterns for positive well being  - through hands-on techniques and in combination with visualisation or hypnosis. It is rewarding to observe fathers develop in confidence, particularly using hypnotic techniques and massage to calm and support the birthing mother. These skills are often used postnatally too!

I don't like:

It's preferable to decide what you want in the recipe of life rather than to say the things you don't want, so it's not so easy to say the things I don't like.

I love Viveka because:

Viveka has been part of my life for so many years. I couldn't imagine not being involved with the positive energy of the therapists and women, dads and babies that I meet. It is reassuring to know excellent therapists within Viveka who I can recommend where integration of other therapies would be beneficial. It's a joy to see families grow as I often see clients through subsequent pregnancies.
