Bodywork itself has many benefits. It can bring you back into your body relieving pain, stress, tension, and anxiety allowing you to feel loved, cared for - nurtured. It can also guide, inform, and support your nervous system, fascia, craniosacral system, organs, and tissues – inviting them into a place within the body that is more aligned so they can move, flow, communicate, and function with ease.

With that said, Bodywork on its own does not always create lasting change; does not always heal you - because it’s not just physical.

The best chance your body (and you) have of maintaining the changes created within a bodywork session will come from addressing the emotional and mental aspects of your being along with it. The learned beliefs and habits that inform how you move, relate to, care for, and tend to your body, and as a result – how your body presents and expresses itself physically – need to be addressed as well.

This is the piece that is often missing and frustrates women the most. Having been informed after a massage or bodywork session that their knots are gone, their scar tissue sufficiently 'broken down' or softened, and their uterus back where she should be, only to have the symptoms resurface days, weeks, or months later.

How you feel about your body, your pain, your blood and your bleed, the limitations you perceive it placing on you, how you speak to, or about your body, how you care for, move, and tend to your body – it’s listening to all of it and responding at a cellular level accordingly.

To shift your relationship with your body you need to learn to listen to and honour your body. To find ways to feel at peace, present, and at home in your body - even if just for a moment at a time.

These offerings are an invitation for you to be held, loved, and nurtured as you relax, sink into, and deepen your relationship with your body and yourself.
