Massage Therapy as a Tool for Healing
Massage therapy can be so much more than a luxurious and pampering experience! Many of our clients (and others in the community) have experienced events that are unimaginable and change the way the brain responds to the world. One way our brains learn about the world and our place in it is through touch. When someone has experienced a trauma (or adverse life event) the effects of that event tend to be stored in the body as tension. There are also times where those events cause an aversion to being touched or feeling numb or as if their body doesn't belong to them. Massage therapy (with a trusted and trauma-informed massage therapist) can help to release some of the tension stored in the body. This is not a cure but trauma is best viewed through a holistic lens, which includes various modalities of healing and connection with the brain and body! We would love to answer any questions prior to your appointment!
For now, we are offering massage days once per month and will publish a 2025 schedule very soon! Our November 2024 massage day is November 16, 2024.
*Disclaimer: If you are currently in trauma therapy or any somatic therapy, please consult your therapist and doctor before choosing massage therapy. Also, be sure to clearly communicate any potential triggers that you are aware of with your massage therapist. We all want you to have the best experience possible!
Please visit the payment links below to pay ahead of time or place a deposit for massage services to hold your appointment! There is also a link to leave a tip for your massage therapist!
