Contact Care

A gentle, hands-on healing modality that liberates you from trauma and chronic pain.

Contact Care Flinchlock Release Method

Contact Care Flinchlock Release Method

Contact Care Flinchlock Release Method, developed 20 years ago by Dale Speedy and Kim Summers in New Zealand, is a safe, effective, and efficient healing modality for humans and animals.

The skeletal system can hold onto both emotional and physical traumas. Sometimes bones can become stuck in defensive, altered states– keeping the body locked in a fight, flight, or freeze response. Consequently, other parts of the body compensate for the locked area, resulting in pain and discomfort. Contact Care focuses on releasing these impacted bone structures. Gentle pressure applied to specific bones can allow the body to return to its natural state of balance and ease.

Every treatment is tailored to the individual and their needs 

Unlike other treatments that require ongoing sessions to manage symptoms, the Contact Care Method can permanently improve symptoms. In just four sessions, we aim to identify and address the root cause of your pain.

Hi, I’m Leilani

Contact Care brought me back to myself in a way no other modality ever has. I’m absolutely delighted to be able to share this work with you, and help you get back in touch with yourself and your potential.

My Mission

I strive to provide a relaxing, safe, and welcoming environment that nurtures each individual’s personal journey of healing and transformation. I aim to help people flourish by releasing trapped trauma within their bodies. I believe that every-body holds within them the knowledge/ knowingness/ ability to heal and thrive.

“I have had regular episodes of lower back pain every few weeks for the last 15 years, despite doing lots of exercise and physiotherapy. I had two sessions with Leilani and have not had any back pain for three months now. I have never been pain-free for more than a few weeks in the last 15 years, totally unreal. I wouldn't believe it either if I read it online, but that's what happened. 10/10.”

“Contact Care was a crucial part of my recovery following a torn ACL injured during sport. It helped reduce pain, and in conjunction with PT, dramatically improved stability in my knee. Most notably, my knee was able to take impact again without pain after only one session.”

Lenny ~ 23 years old

“After just one treatment the pain behind my knee is gone. Also, my sleep has been significantly deeper. Nothing has changed in my routine except for having a Contact Care treatment.”

FAQs

  • A Flinchlock is caused when you absorb an impact by surprise. An example being – you bend down to get your cooking pot out of the bottom kitchen cupboard, you then stand up to a sudden ‘bang’! you hit you head on the open cupboard door directly above you.

    In this surprise moment, the Flinch reaction after the impact causes the body to lock the pressure and fright inside the bone – hence the word ‘Flinchlock. The Flinchlock is a super sensitive area containing the actual pressure of the impact and the memory of the shock.

  • All treatments begin with a short intake form which documents your current injuries or areas that you’d like addressed. From there, you will be invited to take your most comfortable shape that involves the least amount of pain or strain (hopefully none). From there the practitioner will preform a diagnostic search for Flichlocked bones and then release them— all while checking in on your comfort. Movement away from pain is our goal, so if at any time you feel pain, please speak up.

  • Treatments are carried out fully clothed. We ask you to wear comfortable clothing as you may be asked to move around in different positions.

  • This depends on the individual and the severity of the injury or trauma. Often two treatment creates major change but sometimes 3-4 treatments are necessary to produce results that last.

  • No, it does not hurt. There is no forcing or manipulation during the treatment, only support and gentle pressure where it is necessary. Treatments are non-intrusive, and the technique is safe and effective.
