Why "bodywork" WORKS!
"Because everything is connected"
Did you know that the body keeps score? What does that actually mean?
Well think of it this way...any time, any event happens physically, mentally or emotionally; the nervous system, tissues, organs, muscles, and cells in the body remembers and stores it all! If left unresolved, unprocessed or treated, the body essentially creates a neural connection that when "tripped-up" creates a physiological response such as tension, pain, GI issues, sleep disturbances, emotional imbalances, and many other dis ~ eases. (N.E.T. -2001).
So, that break up that you stuff the feelings down. The job you lost that hurt you, but you just pushed through. The loved one you lost that you are still grieving. The car accident that still has you flinching in certain instances. Physical, emotional, verbal abuse. Past injuries, trauma, surgeries...ALL stored information!
We also store the things that give us joy, peace, relaxation and balance!
As a massage therapist that focuses on the subtle energies, energetic pathways, and meridians of the body; and though intuitive touch, the goal is finding alignment. Using techniques like The Emotion Code, Body Code, Reiki, Reflexology, Chakra Balancing, Acupressure, Craniosacral therapy, and lymphatic assist; the body can make the vital connection to the mind and the subconscious to unlock stored negative emotions.
Beneficial effects from therapies:
Skincare - Our skin is the largest organ of the body. As a licensed Esthetician, I look for issues that affect the skin like eczema, psoriasis, inflammation, dehydration and more. Many skin issues can be traced back to an emotion, but also has a direct link to all other internal organs.
Massage - Massage therapy provides one of the most important elements of addressing the stress factor - touch! The power of touch is well documented and has been shown to have a direct effect on the nervous system, digestive system, integumentary (skin) system, lymphatic and of course the musculoskeletal system. As a Licensed Massage therapist, I use different pressures of touch, massage techniques. specialized tools, intuition and natural products that allow the body to enter into homeostasis.
Emotion / Body Code - The Emotion Code is an effective method to identify and release trapped emotions. Developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson, this modality uses a system to find the what the trapped emotion is, where it is located, the time it originated and possibly who it may be connected to. This therapy allows for overall awareness and has marvelous benefits, both physical and emotional in nature. (The Emotion Code, 2007).
