Selfology

Return To Your Still Point

About Us

For nearly three decades, Selfology has been a place to recibbect with both inner and outer wellbeing.

Selfology began as a healing centre rooted in touch: reflexology, Kahuna massage, Sacred Men’s Kahuna massage and rebalancing massage therapy.

Today, Selfology sits at the intersection of body and psyche, blending somatic work, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and family constellations to help clients understand not only what they’re carrying but why – and how to finally set it down.

We’re here for the deeper work of becoming whole – one session, one story, one shift at a time.

BECOMING WHOLE, ONE STORY AT A TIME

Our Story

Both Lionel and I have poured our hearts into this peaceful sanctuary, we call Selfology.

This special piece of land looking over the False Bay coast, has absorbed peace and healing into the very earth on which it was built. 

Lionel and I have blended our unique skills and experience, infused with our commitment to supporting the wellness and growth of all people.

Our practise integrates massage, breathwork, yoga, family constellations, somatic coaching to restore balance.

Her work moves beyond traditional coaching. Blending body-based healing, Family Constellations, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic coaching, she walks alongside you to rediscover what lies hidden.

At 68, she brings a rare depth of presence – calm, direct and deeply attuned.

Lionel Bourgeois is a corporate life and leadership coach, Kahuna bodyworker, Flow Coach, group facilitator and Vinyasa Yoga teacher. His work is rooted in presence and integrity, bringing depth and power to every engagement.
