Finding Balance and Wellness
Our bodies are constantly bombarded with various elements that can throw us off balance, whether it's physical pathogens, toxins in the environment, or emotional traumas. While traditional medicine can help treat physical symptoms, it often neglects the emotional and spiritual aspects of healing. This is where therapeutic body work comes in.
Therapeutic body work is a holistic approach to healing that focuses on restoring balance to the entire person, including the emotional and spiritual aspects of their being. By addressing the root causes of illness and discomfort, this work can help people achieve long-term wellness and find their path in life.
At its core, therapeutic body work is about unblocking issues and replacing negative belief patterns with positive ones. This internal shift leads to transformation in the physical self, which can ultimately transform our outer environment.
Therapeutic body work can also be helpful in resolving acute illness or trauma, by relieving the shock and stress stored in the cells and energy body so physical healing can take place more quickly. Additionally, it can be used simply to relax and recharge in our fast-paced world.
Each session is tailored to the individual's specific needs and can incorporate a variety of techniques. Whether you're dealing with chronic illness, emotional trauma, or just looking to find more balance in your life, therapeutic body work can help you achieve your goals and live a fuller, more rewarding life.
Each body work session is unique for individuals and conditions at the moment. One or more techniques may be used in combination.
Our first session includes a history-taking of your physical and mental health and physical examination to understand your condition(s). It is very important to know the whole picture first before making treatment plans.
The techniques I use are:
Massage therapy
Craniosacral therapy
Visceral manipulation
Lymphatic drainage
Hydrotherapy
Muscle Energy Stretching
Cupping therapy
Myofascial Release
You also can request a specific technique(s) desired.
Pregnancy and Postpartum Massage
Pregnancy massage is a transformative experience designed to create more space within the body, promoting optimal fetal positioning through proper hip alignment. This specialized form of massage offers a profound sense of relaxation and nurturance, addressing muscular tension and reducing blood pressure through soothing techniques. Additionally, it enhances lymphatic circulation, contributing to improved edema and relief from leg cramps. A comprehensive approach to prenatal care, pregnancy massage offers holistic benefits for both the expecting mother and her developing baby.
Postpartum massage is a valuable component of postnatal recovery, typically initiated after 6 weeks postpartum. This specialized massage focuses on holistic pelvic floor care, addressing concerns such as perineal and c-section scars. The incorporation of belly binding provides essential support, and diastasis treatment contributes to abdominal muscle recovery. The massage is tailored to address the unique needs of postpartum women, offering relief and support in areas such as prolapse to promote overall well-being during this crucial recovery period.
