Bodywork for Body, Mind, and Spirit reintegration
I’ve written about this more extensively in my philosophy, but at its core I specialize in body, mind, and spirit reintegration.
I’ve come to this because we are more than a body. How we do mentally, emotionally, and spiritually affects how we do physically, and vice versa: we can use the body to effect meaningful change in our mind, emotional body, and spiritual body.
Speaking of bodies: all of your body is welcome here (within legal scope of practice). As one of my clients said: to omit or to exclude creates shame. Conversely, to include and to connect creates unity. We are more than a collection of distinct parts, and a big focus of my work is to take all of your parts – to the extent you’re comfortable – and integrate them back into your whole being.
There are three prongs to my work: a carefully considered, reverent approach to your body, mind, and spirit, the holding of emotional and energetic space, and deeply held and felt intentions. I use various techniques to sooth your nervous system – bringing it into a deep parasympathetic state – and in doing so allow your body, mind and spirit to heal, reset, and (re)integrate.
As the nervous system relaxes, and the mind lets go, many people will enter a deeply relaxed, liminal state. Not quite present in this world anymore, and not quite asleep. This is a limitless space of manifestation, of subconscious processing, of letting go, and of possibilities, where body, mind, and spirit find balance and healing.
My intake tends to be a little longer than most, and deliberately creates space to talk about how you’re doing mentally, emotionally, and spiritually (all to the extent you would like to share) and to see if there’s a specific intention you’d like to set for the session. We do this to prime your subconscious so that it may process all that needs processing while you enter this liminal space.
