Massage at its Essence!
Touch can often bring mind/body-nuanced perceptions to the client that far exceed the benefits of relaxation and release of tension!
Heartfelt Intent
Through our compassionate intent, and heartfelt touch, we can soothe, care for, and bring impactful mind/body awareness to our client. A collaboration of sorts, that can offer the client a reconnection with the perception of their body and help to affirm the nervous system’s effect on it.
Movement
The way in which we move through our touch can directly affect the nervous system…slow, purposeful touch, and even simple lite compression can slow breathing, and most importantly bring a refined perception of one’s own body.
Grace
Our voice, our words and our energy have great significance in this experience. The energy we bring to the session, along with a compassionate voice and soft tone, can have immeasurable positive effects on the client. This often can help to facilitate a pathway to connect the client with his or her own self-healing abilities.
Understanding
How do we use our education, training, and intuition to understand what our client is really telling us. Do we really listen with true curiosity? The way in which we dialogue to truly hear our client’s story can help to create a profound collaborative experience for our client.
