Specialized Care Through Advanced Techniques
At Internal Rhythms, we believe that meaningful, lasting change happens when we listen deeply to the body’s messages. Through advanced trainings in Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation, and the Manual Articular Approach, we offer a therapeutic experience grounded in evidence-based knowledge and a profound respect for the body’s innate wisdom.
You can fool yourself with your stories, only the tissues know.
Jean-Pierre Barral
Every session at Internal Rhythms reflects this deep commitment to education and integration. Whether you are recovering from injury, living with chronic tension, or seeking better alignment, these advanced skills help us meet you where you are, and support you as you move forward.
Neural Manipulation
An Integrative Approach to Trauma & Whiplash
Neural Manipulation restores a nerve’s ability to move freely through fascia, organs, bones, and muscles. By releasing fixations, it improves nerve signalling and function in the affected structures, supporting overall health. This work addresses cranial, peripheral, and central nerves, including the autonomic nervous system.
CranioSacral Therapy
This is a gentle hands-on approach that releases restrictions in the craniosacral system, cranial bones, membranes, and cerebrospinal fluid, helping restore balance to the central nervous system and related systems like musculoskeletal, circulatory, and digestive. It’s safe and effective for all ages, from infants with colic to teens with injuries and adults with chronic headaches.
Manual Articular Approach
This innovative approach redefines how we understand and treat joints, not just as bone-to-bone connections, but as intricate hubs involving nerves, ligaments, capsules, arteries, and even emotional and visceral relationships. By addressing all these layers together, the treatment restores smooth, pain-free movement and strengthens the body’s overall network of physical and emotional integration.
Visceral Manipulation
Barral’s Visceral Manipulation is not just a technique, it’s a style of listening. From foundational organ biomechanics (VM1) to advanced emotional and thermal evaluation (VM5), this work uncovers hidden restrictions and gently invites release. It’s about giving the body a clear message to help it balance structure, function, and emotion.
Massage therapy
Massage therapy is the practice of manipulation of the soft tissues of the body - like muscles/tendons ligaments and connective tissues. When we have dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system it can bring up pain and limited range of motion at the joints. Using different massage techniques like muscle wringing/, trigger points ,light to deep pressure and sweeping motions , this helps to alleviate the dysfunction , easing pain and restoring range of motion.
Align Therapy
Healing the Body, Mind, and Energy Field
Listening to the Body; Where Healing Begins.
​
At the heart of Align work is deep listening,
not just to symptoms, but to the subtle stories your body holds.
We begin each session with measurable assessments: posture analysis
and range of motion testing, both before and after treatment. These reveal what’s shifted, and what’s still asking for care. To fine-tune the process, Vanessa uses general and local listening techniques rooted in advanced Visceral Manipulation training.
As Jean-Pierre Barral reminds us:
“Only the tissues know.”
​
When we truly listen to the body, healing happens on all levels;
physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
And when we choose to heal…
We are limitless.

What Is
Align
Therapy?
Align Therapy is a layered and intentional approach that reconnects the body to its natural centre, starting from the feet up. Each session begins with the feet, the foundation of the body. The core (umbilicus) becomes the axis for restoring balance. Each session builds on the last, guiding the body through its own healing logic. As the body aligns, so does the mind, creating space for authentic self-expression. When your body feels safe and centered, you gain greater access to who you truly are.
Energetic Healing: Beyond the Physical
​
Sometimes, the pain or disconnect we feel doesn’t live in the body,
it lives around it. That’s where energy work
and chakra balancing come in:
Each chakra (energy center) is connected to an aspect of your emotional and spiritual self:
​
Trouble speaking your truth? The throat chakra may be blocked.
Feeling ungrounded? Your root chakra may need support.
Experiencing heartache? Your heart chakra may be asking for healing.​​
​
By using gentle energy techniques to realign your chakra system, Vanessa helps you feel more:
​
Connected to your environment
Emotionally regulated
Grounded in your inner self
Ready to Realign?
Whether you're seeking pain relief, emotional clarity, or spiritual reconnection;
Align Therapy offers a path that honors every layer of your being.
What we are wanting to do is to give the body a clear message, to be specific in a short time. Jean-Pierre Barral
