Update and how to get a $20 credit -

What is referred pain and why does it matter? Understanding referred pain and the frequent patterns, often can lead us to find out what the root cause of the pain is. For example: we have all heard about pain in the left arm when someone is having a heart attack, but why does it happen?

A great image of the vagus nerve and check out the trigenimal nerve on the right! . I have found myself working on these neural pathways more and more as almost everyone can use a tune up in balancing / settling our social nervous system.

TOUCH AND THE VENTRAL VAGAL COMPLEX

In many forms of therapy, the Polyvagal Theory is used to understand and address behavioural and emotional outcomes arising from trauma. Yet Porges’ theory rests on the understanding of a neural substrate of cranial nerves, known as the ventral vagal complex, which co-ordinates the functions of breathing, swallowing, vocalisation, and facial expression while fine-tuning heart rate. In the theory, the social engagement system is portrayed in the language of anatomy and physiology. As touch therapists, the body is our domain, anatomy is our language, our sphere of influence.

Our soothing touch can modify the distress messages coming from the body, the throat and the face. As the Neuroception of our internal state changes from arousal to calm, the motor output of the three branches of the ANS comes into balance and vagal tone is increased. This supports pro-social behaviours and emotional stability.

Yes! Craniosacral therapy is one of the modalities I use to help reconnect people with their inner body and get out of the mind. When we powerfully reconnect with our senses we become embodied and we start to heal from the inside out. ❤️

Bruce Lipton explains the myth about genes really well and is able to simplify it.
the relationship between trauma and the response in the cells is so powerful that some people become victims of our beliefs and the pharmaceutical world feeds this narrative.
Somatic work helps on letting go of the old beliefs and patterning on a cellular level.

You don’t have to stick with the old program, you change your life and you can change your genes.

A great reminder for all of us

Be comfortable with the uncomfortable until it gets comfortable

A big part of the somatic treatments I offer are about
learning to be with all the parts where your body shows discomfort: - the pain, tightness, restrictions as well as stuck belief systems, open wounds and scars from old trauma -
AND then witnessing this with the health, ease, flow and inner intelligence in your body and supporting the parts that are uncomfortable until they soften and resolve

My approach is a trauma informed touch therapy allowing your body to move out of holding and fear and into safety so the body can do the work safely and at its own speed

The more you practice allowing the body to express its full self the more your triggers will shift to become your healthy informants of what can still be healed rather then giving away your power to others to have your ‘triggers’ triggered….
