So many of us carry more emotion than we realise.

Not because we’re “strong”… but because our nervous system learned to protect us.
When life becomes overwhelming, the body does something automatic:
✨ It shuts down feeling to keep us functioning.
✨ It delays emotions until it’s safe.
✨ It numbs what would be too much to hold.
That’s why during the hardest moments you might feel:
“I can’t feel anything.”
“I should be crying but I can’t.”
“I know I’m stressed but I’m numb.”
“It hits me days or months later.”

This isn’t weakness.
This is a protective freeze response.
Your system wasn’t avoiding emotions —
it was saving you.
And when your body finally feels safer, emotions return:
🌿 Tears
🌿 Shaking
🌿 Grief
🌿 Softness
🌿 Feeling again

These aren’t signs you’re falling apart.
They’re signs your system is waking back up

Be gentle with yourself🩷
Your body has been protecting you for a long time.

✨ Why Pain Gets Better… Then Comes Back (Sometimes Worse)
Do you ever notice this pattern?

👉 A chronic pain eases after a few sessions
👉 You feel great for a while
👉 Then months later… it returns — sometimes even more intense

This is very common, and it doesn’t mean anything is “wrong” with your body or the treatment. There are clinical reasons why this happens:
1️⃣ The underlying pattern never changed
Massage reduces tension, but if posture, muscle activation, or movement habits stay the same, the old load eventually comes back.
2️⃣ Your nervous system remembers pain
Stress, poor sleep, or emotional load can “turn the volume up” again, even when tissues were fine.
3️⃣ Life load got heavier
Lifting, gardening, long sitting, or even seasonal changes in FNQ can push the body past its capacity.
4️⃣ No repatterning between sessions
Without strengthening, mobility work, or nervous system regulation, the body tends to fall back into the old pattern.
✨ The good news:
Chronic pain doesn’t have to be permanent.
Long-term change comes from a combination of:
• hands-on work
• movement retraining
• nervous system regulation
• small lifestyle adjustments
If your pain has returned or feels different, it doesn’t mean you’re “back to zero”.
It simply means your body is asking for the next layer of support.

✨ Can Deep Relaxation Feel “Unsafe”? A Nervous System Insight ✨

Sometimes during massage or craniosacral work, people drop into a very deep state of relaxation.
And for some clients — especially those who have lived with long-term stress or past trauma — the brain can misinterpret this calm as something unfamiliar or even “unsafe.”
This doesn’t mean anything is wrong.
It also doesn’t mean you’re going into a dorsal vagal shutdown.

What’s actually happening?
🌿 Your body is releasing long-held tension
🌿 Your sympathetic (fight/flight) system is softening
🌿 Your ventral vagal system is becoming active
🌿 Your nervous system is experiencing a new kind of safety
But if your body has been used to running on high alert, “letting go” can feel strange at first.
The brain may associate stillness with moments in the past that didn’t feel safe — so it sends a false alarm.
This is not collapse, but a natural part of nervous system recalibration.
Your system is learning that calm can be safe, and that you don’t have to hold everything all the time.

If you ever feel emotional, heavy, floaty, or unsure after a session, please know —
💛 your nervous system is reorganising
💛 nothing is wrong
💛 you’re not alone in the process
You are simply learning what safety feels like again.

What is Craniosacral Therapy? 🧠

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on method that works with the body’s natural rhythm created by the production and movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) around the brain and spinal cord. This system is enclosed by the Dura Mater, forming a semi-closed hydraulic system that influences the health of the nervous system.

Research from osteopathic pioneers, including Dr. William Sutherland and later Dr. John Upledger’s team at Michigan State University, showed that cranial bones have subtle mobility even in adulthood. They demonstrated that these small movements, along with fluctuations in CSF pressure, play an important role in the body’s ability to regulate and maintain balance (homeostasis).

Craniosacral therapy uses light touch to support the release of restrictions in the cranial bones, membranes, and connective tissues. By improving the flow and motion within the craniosacral system, the body’s self-healing mechanisms are supported, helping reduce stress, calm the nervous system, and enhance overall wellbeing.

🌿 Training Update 🌿
I’m happy to share that I’ve now completed “Craniosacral Therapy and Stress & Trauma Response”, a deeper-level course that expands my ability to support the nervous system in a gentle, profound way.

This advanced training allows me to work more precisely with:
✨ long-held tension
✨ overwhelm and stress patterns
✨ jaw tension, headaches, fatigue
✨ emotional regulation and calming the body’s stress responses

I’m excited to integrate this deeper craniosacral work into your sessions and continue supporting you with nervous-system-focused care.

Thank you for your ongoing trust. 💚

I’m happy to share that I have now completed my Craniosacral Therapy level 2 training.

This means I can offer even deeper support for your nervous system, stress recovery, headaches/migraines, jaw tension, and long-held patterns in the body.
Craniosacral work blends beautifully with Remedial Massage and my nervous system–focused approach — creating space for your body to unwind gently, safely, and deeply.

Thank you so much to everyone who came in before my study trip — I truly appreciate you making the time.

For those who couldn’t make it, no worries at all. I look forward to seeing you after I return.

I’m heading off to deepen my craniosacral skills, especially the next level of techniques and the latest understanding of how stress and trauma connect with the fascia. I’m excited to bring this back into our sessions soon.
