Riverton's community wellbeing hub
A hall full of locals, and a quiet room down the road.
Activate & Thrive is Tamsin Scott's therapy practice and the home of the Riverton Community Market. The market runs on the last Sunday of every month at Flecks Hall.
Weekend of the Rotary Annual Garage Sale - this should be a pretty epic market!!
10am–2pm · Flecks Hall, 106 Palmerston Street, Riverton · 0 stalls confirmed
The practice
Unhurried bodywork, in a room that smells faintly of the sea.
I'm Tamsin — a Bowen therapist working from home in Riverton. Sessions are quiet and slow; most people leave very relaxed and sleep well that night. Three modalities, one pair of hands, no rush.
Bowen Therapy
Bowen Therapy is a deep and profoundly relaxing way to reset imbalances within the body. It is administered via rolling moves across the connective tissue (known as fascia) which can stimulate your body to release tension in tight tissues or strengthen area of weakness. It is gentle yet incredibly effective for people and animals alike and can quickly relieve pain and discomfort. Longer term, it can release soft tissue tension to allow bones to move back into their optimal alignment.

MSTR — McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release
Scars, small and large, are always created by traumatic events.. whether they are surgery, accident, injury etc. The scar has a different collagen pattern to normal tissue which can impede lymph and blood flow as well as movement of energy (or Chi) across the scar site. The dermis, epidermis, fascia, nerves and blood vessels have also been compromised. The scar also often holds emotional trauma. MSTR helps to gently release both physical and emotional restrictions.

EFT — Emotional Freedom Technique
EFT is a simple but powerful way of 'rewiring the brain'. It basically allows you to connect with the source of any emotional problem you have - whether anger, sadness/grief, jealousy, fear, shame, frustration etc. and release the charge associated with it, in a safe and effective way. This allows you to move beyond your stuck point and, not being caught up in the past, enables you to move forwards in life with lightness and optimism.

August's Riverton Community Market
Another lovely Riverton Community Market! Despite the sideways rain and gale force winds, I was really impressed that we still pulled off an epic market.

July's Riverton Community Market
Another beautiful market under our belts. It was a quiet one but then, it is the middle of winter and it's hard to get out of bed some mornings, let alone venture out into the cold if you absolutely don't have to!

June's Riverton Community Market
This market we decided on a new layout, just to spice things up a bit. The area where the baking competition tables are now positioned has a space for people to chat (and even sit down) and the rest of the market is more open and flowing.
