Access Consciousness Bars is a gentle hands-on modality involving light touch on specific points on the head. These points relate to areas of life connected with thoughts, emotions, beliefs, stress patterns and mental processing.
When the Bars points are gently held, the nervous system is able to release accumulated mental and emotional pressure that can keep the brain in a constant state of activity.
Many people today live with continuous mental stimulation - work pressure, decision making, responsibilities, information overload and emotional stress.
Over time this can place a significant load on the nervous system. Access Consciousness Bars sessions allow the brain and nervous system to settle into a deeply relaxed state, where stored mental tension can begin to release.
Clients often report experiencing:
Access Consciousness Bars works alongside other supportive modalities and does not replace medical care.
"I no longer have unexplained tension in my hips and back." Years of carrying it, finally addressed. Juanita came in after years of carrying trauma, sceptical that anything hands-on could really touch it. Her own words afterward: I no longer have unexplained tension in my hips and back. I feel more relaxed and in control of my thoughts and emotions. Emotional weight doesn't stay separate from the body. It often settles into the hips and back as stored tension, the kind that doesn't show up with a clear cause. If tension in your hips or back has never had a clear explanation, WhatsApp 082 558 5686 to start your three sessions. #BodyStressRelease #RethaBodenstein #2026 #HipTension #RealResults #EmotionalWellbeing #PretoriaEast #ConstantiaPark #BodySystemResetSpace
Corporate stress starter pack: shoulders by your ears, a jaw that won't unclench, a body that never fully switches off, even on leave. Back to back meetings all day, then still turning them over at 9pm. "My body and mind never switches off." That constant tightness through the neck and shoulders doesn't need an active crisis to be there. It can just become the default setting. Body Stress Release works with that stored tension directly, through a proper three session process. WhatsApp 082 558 5686 to start your three sessions. #BodyStressRelease #RethaBodenstein #2026 #NeverSwitchesOff #CorporateStress #BodyAwareness #PretoriaEast #ConstantiaPark #BodySystemResetSpace
October 18–24 is Invisible Disabilities Week. Not every disability is visible. Some people live with chronic illness, chronic pain, fatigue, neurological conditions, and other disabilities that may not be obvious to the people around them. Invisible Disabilities Week is an opportunity to raise awareness, challenge assumptions, and help people understand that you cannot determine someone’s health, abilities, or struggles by looking at them. Someone may look fine and still be managing pain, brain fog, exhaustion, or symptoms that affect every part of their day. They may be working hard to do things that others take for granted, or using every bit of energy they have just to get through the day. And because their disability isn’t always visible, they may also have to explain themselves, justify their limitations, or deal with the assumption that they’re doing better than they really are. This week is about making space for those experiences. It’s about listening without judgment, believing people when they tell you what they’re going through, and remembering that looking healthy isn’t the same as being healthy. You don’t have to see someone’s disability to respect its impact. If you’ve ever been told you look fine… you belong here. 🤍 #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek
Feeling pulled to one side isn't something to just get used to. Sitting slightly twisted without meaning to. One hip feeling higher than the other. A tailbone that aches after sitting too long on a hard chair. These patterns often connect to the sacroiliac joint and the lower back, where stored tension can pull the whole structure slightly off centre. Body Stress Release works with the whole lower back and pelvic area together, through a proper three session process, rather than treating one side in isolation. If your body has felt slightly pulled to one side for a while, WhatsApp 082 558 5686 to start your three sessions. #BodyStressRelease #RethaBodenstein #2026 #SacroiliacPain #TailbonePain #PostureBalance #PretoriaEast #ConstantiaPark #BodySystemResetSpace
Just left us a star review
I have been going to Retha for Body Stress Release on a regular basis and I cannot explain how my body feels after BSR sessions with her... I can only say that it is how I always imagined my body was supposed to feel ... light, pain free, comfortable. Thank you Retha! You are truly amazing!
Retha is really professional. I had 3 sessions with her just before lockdown... and it was really amazing. I could feel the tension and stress leaving. I suffered from upper back..and lower neck pain for almost 6 months on and off...and it was gone immediately after the first session with her...came back a bit a few days later...but then gone so far after session 3 now for 3 weeks! I can really highly recommend her.
Retha is passionate about body stress release. Listens to you and finds the best treatment. I would definitely recommend her.
After falling of my horse and collided with steel poles i could barely move. Hurt my shoulder, elbow and coccyx quite badly and extremely sore muscles i went to see Retha. Within hours after my first session i could move around and sore muscles were not as bad. She also pointed out some other issues i had and worked on them as well. Within a few days my elbow and shoulder were good to go and i could go back to my normal routine of riding and working.
