Reduce pain, reclaim your health and rediscover your mobility today

with the help of Daniel Heymann, Cranio Sacral Therapist and Romiromi practitioner in Whanganui.

Chronic pain comes in many forms, from headaches and migraines to neck and back pain; just treating the symptoms isn’t a long term solution.

At Freiraum Therapy, we focus on uncovering and dealing with the root causes of pain, tension and restricted movement — which often go beyond the physical and are linked to emotional or energetic imbalances held in the body.

Our gentle, non-invasive techniques allow the body to rediscover its balance, release tension and come back into alignment.

Both Craniosacral Therapy and Romiromi are holistic treatments aiming to restore balance and well-being. In your initial consultation, we’ll decide together which approach best suits your needs.

Treating the whole person: physical, mental and emotional.

Our physical health cannot be separated from our emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing - they are deeply connected and constantly influencing one another. Understanding this connection is key to achieving true, lasting wellness.

During my time as a physiotherapist, I began to notice that for some clients, symptoms would return despite effective physical treatment. It made me realise that focusing on the physical body alone wasn’t always enough. I became curious about what might lie beneath the surface.

This curiosity led me to explore other forms of healing - with Craniosacral Therapy and Romiromi I found the tools to work more holistically and to support the body’s natural ability to find balance and healing.

I’ve come to see that physical pain and emotional tension are often two sides of the same coin. Injuries or physical ailments can affect our mental balance. Likewise, emotional trauma can be reflected on a physical level, as our body memorizes traumatic experiences in the body cells. The source of these issues can sometimes even be found back at younger age.

Today, I use gentle, intuitive techniques to help release these deeper layers of tension. My goal is to support each person in reconnecting with their body’s innate wisdom and self-healing capacity — so they can feel more at ease, more resilient, and more whole.
