Trauma Informed Massage

​

What massage addresses:
In today's fast-paced world, individuals are accumulating trauma at a pace that overwhelms the nervous system. The everyday stresses of work, relationships, social media, and global events contribute to increasing levels of ambient trauma, which massage therapy seeks to alleviate.

​

Trauma-informed massage offers several benefits that can enhance overall well-being. It promotes relaxation and helps reduce anxiety by creating a safe and supportive environment. This type of massage can also aid in the release of stored trauma, facilitating emotional healing and improved body awareness. Additionally, regular sessions may improve physical symptoms such as tension and pain, contributing to a greater sense of balance and peace.

How the treatment operates:
Every treatment can be different, depending on your individual needs on the day. We may decide to go with one of the following treatments:​​

​

Earth: involves a slow and deep massage that allows you to sink into your body, calming mind and enhancing your awareness of sensations and breath.

 

Water: promotes fluidity and a nurturing sense of comfort, facilitating ease and the release of tension throughout the body and mind.

 

Fire: is a powerful and deep massage that can vary in pace, focusing on invigorating, warming, and stretching movements to promote structural expansion and realignment. Many seek Fire massage to relieve tension in the, neck, spine, or hips.

 

Air: offers powerful yet gentle calmness and stillness, providing space for your senses to recalibrate and heal if you're feeling burned out, overwhelmed or depleted.

​

4 Elements: combines them all into one powerful treatment.​

Trauma Discharge Therapy:​ embraces the very latest neuroscience and the most recent developments in our understanding of trauma and links this with some of the most ancient healing bodywork movements known. TDT is unique in that it brings together this world of ancient touch with the more modern worlds of psychotherapy, neuroscience, neurobiology and trauma research into a simple but obvious synthesis.​​​​​

​

TDT views health issues as disruptions in the nervous system, aligning with Dr. Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory, which emphasizes innovative ways to engage the nervous system.
