I'm not a 'get in there and dig it out' kind of practitioner, my focus is on nervous system supportive touch.

I believe that when we listen to and work with your body and her nervous system we’re able to create space in your body and change in deeper structures with more ease.

Absolutely. The primary goal of our nervous system is to detect danger and protect us. Too much pressure, depth, or force too soon and your nervous system may actually increase the tone of your muscles (making them tighter, more tense and rigid) to protect the structures and tissues beneath.

By working with the body and her tissues gently and slowly, either with oil based massage, or bodywork such as fascial or craniosacral work - the nervous system is able to relax and let down it’s guard and we’re able to address deeper structures and restrictions with a softer approach.

Know that although you may have a specific muscle or organ issue that you want to heal and address, it does not exist (nor can it be treated) in isolation in your body.

As we work with your body and the intention to support specific parts we will also be working with inflammation, adhesions, scar tissue, and emotional holdings which may cause some discomfort.

And this is where I want to remind you that this work is about listening to and honouring where you are in each session and each moment.

If at any point in a session you feel something is too much for you - be your body’s advocate and let me know. We can then adjust pressure, technique or stop all together.

Almost everyone can benefit greatly from abdominal therapy, however treatments are not recommended in the following situations:

 - in the first 8 weeks following abdominal surgery; treatment is modified in this time frame in the case of vaginal delivery

- in the first 3 months following a cesarean delivery/ c-section

 - if you have cancer or are undergoing chemotherapy

- if you have an active infection

- If you have an IUD no bodywork or massage will be done to the pelvis or lower abdomen

The body as a whole is greatly supported by belly and womb work, specific to the pelvis and abdomen this work can help with:

Menstrual pain, irregularity, and endometriosis
Pelvic Pain
Hip pain
Low back pain
Ovarian cysts, fibroids, PCOS
Pelvic Congestion Syndrome
Urinary problems
Chronic yeast, BV and bladder infections
Pelvic organ prolapse
Digestive difficulties
Scar tissue and surgical recovery
Fertility
and many more.
