Veronica di Muro Merchak

Holistic Trauma Specialist

Veronica is a qualified BodyTalk Practitioner and qualified TRE (Trauma/Tension Release Exercises) Provider, she also adopts a talk therapy called Quantum Field Talk Therapy; and as such she combines these approaches when consulting with clients.
 
Veronica has a unique approach to addressing trauma in the body.

Her credence can be simplified as:  Everything in life flows, trauma is no exception. The trauma itself, and the bodies’ reaction to trauma has to flow to be released. This involves the following:

1. Understanding the traumatic event/s

2. Understanding the individual’s response to trauma. Each individual is wired totally differently, and so each person will respond to trauma in a unique way, depending on what was happening in their body and in their environment at the time the incident/s took place. So how can trauma be addressed in a generic way?

3. Understanding how this impact has been absorbed by that specific body, which generally presents as physical symptoms in the body

Her principle approach to trauma is combining the following approaches with a main end goal: let the energy and emotional charge of trauma flow out the body.
 
BodyTalk is a form of holistic healthcare therapy, designed to find the underlying cause of mental, physical and emotional issues that have arisen in the person’s life and body. The body is viewed the sum of it’s parts, and traumatic incidents can have a dramatic, and often an unconscious, impact on how the body works as a whole. Trauma (big and small) has a large effect on the individual’s cellular make up; this therapy allows us to unpack how these factors contribute and manifest physically in the body.

TRE is a form of somatic exercise that focuses on moving the energy of stored trauma and tension; as well as releasing old trauma patterns within the nervous system (and so within the body). Thus, creating a flexible (and hence healthy) nervous system. TRE is a great somatic tool; however, one must be cautious as not everyone’s nervous system is ready.

Quantum field talk therapy is a therapeutic approach which allows an individual to address issues they have with a third party, in a safe and non judgmental space, held by Veronica. The client in effect mimics speaking to an individual that they are not able, willing or ready to speak to physically. Veronica guides the client through the session as they address certain issues the client has with a third party. Very often things and feelings will arise that the individual was not aware of, this is because the unconscious mind has been accessed, allowing for a deeper trauma release to take place.
 
During the private sessions Veronica works closely with clients and tailors their approach accordingly.

Veronica offers a safe space, where she works one on one with clients.

She is passionate about assisting people in taking their power back. In her sessions, she shows you, through compassion, trust and knowledgeable insight how your body has absorbed your life experiences and how they have manifested physically. She then guides you on your healing journey, as you release what is stored but no longer assist you at present.

Veronica is based in Johannesburg, South Africa but has clients from Southern Africa to Europe as she is available online as well.
 
Veronica is also a professional photographer, focusing on family and event photography.

Prior to her career in trauma and bodywork, she worked in the finance industry and holds a business degree as well. She spends her downtime with family and friends, with a strong focus on quality time with her husband and kids. She is an avid cook; with a love and flair for Italian cooking and creative healthy cooking. Her other passion in life is travelling and learning about different people, cultures and countries.
