Bodywork
Holding on is believing there's only a past. Letting go is knowing there's a future.
-Daphne Rose Kingma
Bodywork focuses on relaxing a person’s body, mind and spirit,
allowing for emotional release, mental clarity, a sense of expansive presence and a lightness in the body.
The feelings associated with stress and anxiety for extended periods
of time often translate into physical manifestations.
Bodywork is beneficial for clients who are looking
for a way to enhance their emotional well-being,
and it is part of a larger holistic philosophy.
Bodywork is designed to systemically engage
the somatic patterns, emotional or traumatic memories
stored in our tissues from postural & behavioral adaptations
and facilitates the release of those energetic and physical constraints,
as well as loosening dense muscle tissue
and enhancing well being.

Vagal Nerve Trauma Release Bodywork
All human beings have three lives: public, private, and secret.
― Gabriel García Márquez
When something frightening or devastating happens,
expecting anyone to “just get over it”
can cause emotional and physical trauma that leave aftershocks in the body
that can result in a vast range of physical ailments and disorders,
such as digestive disorders, chronic pain, sleep disorders, and headaches.
Trauma looks different for everyone; it includes any event or series of events
that are harmful or that a person perceives as threatening.
The emotional response to the event is a key indicator of trauma
whether it happens immediately,
or presents itself long after the situation ends.
Some examples:
-
Natural Disasters Prolonged Illness Rape or Sexual Assault
-
Military or Wartime Experiences Community Violence
-
Domestic Violence Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
-
Neglect or Physical Abuse Betrayal Robbery or Other Crime
-
Religious Extremism PTSD C-PTSD
-

Vagal Nerve Trauma Release seeks to help the nervous system regulate itself
to move out of the constant state of hyper-vigilance as well as
