Somatic Trauma Therapy is a body centered therapy that helps people focus and heal from traumatic experiences. It focuses on restoring nervous system regulation, helping the body to release the biological stress accumulated in response to trauma and to re-establish the mind-body connection. This is established through dialog and suggested movement. It can be used along with the Trauma Informed Myofasical Release bodywork or on it's own according to client need.

​

​

 

Trauma Informed Myofascial Release is a form of bodywork, where the practitioner connects with the client's fascial network. Some techniques can feel 'scratchy' or feel like it's 'burning a bit'. This is normal. Some can take time for the body to allow change to happen. All need the client to be open to changes, this element can take practice. There can be spontaneous movement from the client, along with other forms of release. This is all welcome, as they're all signs the fascia is letting something go. 

 

Sports Massage uses a mixture of techniques to resolve soft tissue problems. This can include stretching, specific muscle release, and both superficial and deeper muscle work using variable  pressure.

​

Medical and Electro Acupuncture can be used in a few ways either on its own, or combined with massage. It enables us to reach some deeper muscles, or resolve issues without having to apply heavy pressure. 

​

Fire Cupping is another tool that works well pulling tension out of deeper and more complex areas that massage on it's own can't reach. A strong and effective method that's particularly useful for people who are used to deep treatments, and enjoy the sensation of deep work.

​

Any of the bodywork therapies can be applied in combination over the course of a treatment according to client need.

All treatment intensities will rely on client comfort and are monitored with communication from both parties.
