what is trauma-informed bodywork?

Trauma-informed bodywork is an approach that recognizes and addresses the unique needs of highly sensitive individuals who have experienced trauma.

It goes beyond the traditional scope of massage & bodywork, considering the interconnectedness of mind, body, and emotions.

With a deep understanding of trauma's impact, this specialized modality aims to create a safe and supportive space where clients can reconnect with their bodies and heal.

Highly sensitive individuals often navigate the world with heightened sensitivity, making them more susceptible to overwhelming and triggering experiences.

Trauma-informed bodywork provides a gentle yet empowering pathway to healing, allowing you to regain a sense of safety, restore calm, and cultivate a compassionate relationship with your body.

By honoring your sensitivity and tailoring techniques to your unique needs, trauma-informed bodywork promotes self-awareness, resilience, and the potential for profound healing.

what are the benefits of trauma-informed bodywork?

This type of bodywork is intended for highly sensitive people who have experienced trauma, individuals with PTSD, and anyone who regularly deals with high levels of anxiety and stress.

Through safe and non-triggering techniques, these sessions aim to address physical manifestations of trauma in the body.

Along with touch therapy, massage, and deep tissue work, these sessions also incorporate breathing exercises, guided meditation, and restorative yoga poses.

Each session is customized to fit the individual's unique needs and experiences, and confidentiality is ensured. During the pre-session online consultation, we will discuss any additional measures that may be taken to create a safe and secure environment.

You may choose to remain fully clothed during the massage. And, although it is not required to disclose specific details about your trauma, I recommend informing me of any known triggers before your first session to help me avoid possible re-traumatization.
