Sometimes all we need for major shifts in our lives and bodies is someone who is able to tune in deeply with skill and sensitivity, and a sincere desire to help us heal.

It's such a privilege to offer this, and the changes in my clients never cease to amaze me.

"The everyday human gesture is always a heartbeat away from the miraculous.

Remember that ultimately we make things happen through our actions, way beyond our understanding or intention; that our seemingly small ordinary human acts have untold consequences; that what we do in this world means something; that we are not nothing; and that our most quotidian human actions by their nature burst the seams of our intent and spill meaningfully and radically through time and space, changing everything…

Our deeds, no matter how insignificant they may feel, are replete with meaning, and of vast consequence, and… they constantly impact upon the unfolding story of the world, whether we know it or not."

It's been quite a while since I've posted a Healing Story! ❤

When I saw "Tanya," she was five weeks postpartum, and feeling pretty miserable. She was having headaches 4-5 days per week(!), and had very uncomfortable muscle spasm sensations all up the left side of her back and neck, with numbness and tingling into her left hand. She had a lot of low back pain, too. Her digestion was also suffering, including stomach upset, bloating, and heartburn. 🥺

One of the first things I noticed with Tanya was that her breathing was very restricted. This is SO common in postpartum women! I gently helped her organs find their places after moving to make room for Baby. She immediately began breathing better, and I knew this would also improve her digestion issues, and some of her left-sided pain.

I worked gently with her pelvis and spine, especially focusing on the top of the neck where she had a lot of compression that would potentially be giving her headaches. She was already feeling better when she left her appointment.

When she came back two weeks later, she looked much more at ease in her body! I asked about her headaches, and she said she hadn't had any in the last two weeks! 👏 Most of the pain in her low back was gone, and the symptoms on her left side were much improved, with no numbness or tingling in her hand. Her digestion was also great!

I continued help her through the postpartum recovery, and to work with some postural issues that can create pain, but I was really happy to see how much better she was doing after one appointment.

I felt so glad for Tanya, and really thankful that she reached out for help. Those early postpartum weeks can be SO challenging, even without pain. 🥹 It was easy for me to help her, and I know that it makes a big difference for her whole family's experience if she can feel better in her body.

If you are in pain or struggling postpartum, please reach out for help. You deserve to feel good in your body. 💗

Do you know about our Multi-Hands Sessions?

This is an appointment where more than one therapist are working with you. It’s a very special and more intensive experience. The effects of multiple hands sessions are *exponential* – not just like having two separate sessions.

Upcoming Dates:
THIS Friday November 14th
Friday December 12th

Who might benefit from a Multi-Hands Session?

– If you feel like you have been stuck in a pattern, whether physical or emotional, that doesn’t support overall wellness, you may want to receive this type of super-charged therapeutic session.

– People also seek multiple hands CST when they feel that they have plateaued in their progress or they have a complicated condition that requires more therapeutic presence.

– Multi-Hands is also excellent for creating a safe container for SomatoEmotional Release.

My co-therapist is Maria Belinchon, an excellent massage therapist and dear friend that many of you may already know! We are teaming up once a month for this special offering.

I am VERY excited that we are able to offer these appointments. Some of the deepest healing I have ever received has been through Multi-Hands sessions, so I see it as incredibly helpful.

If this sounds like something you could benefit from, now is the right time to grab a spot!

Thank you to all that have served and those that are still serving our country. And my deep appreciation also extends to the families of those who serve, making incredible sacrifices every single day. You have my utmost respect! ❤ Happy Veterans Day!

✨Monday Magic– November 10th: Helping the Littlest Humans - https://mailchi.mp/406119fc6e5f/monday-magic-a-little-inbox-inspiration-from-ariana-mullins-bodywork-17276273

A CranioSacral Therapy technique I often use is holding both ends of someone's spine– at the base of the skull, and at the tailbone. I feel the movement of cerebrospinal fluid as it flows in a wavelike motion, up to the cranium, and down to the sacrum.

As I was gently holding a client this way, her eyes filled with tears, and she asked me, "Why does this feel so good?"

I replied that this is how we were held as babies– supported at the head and tailbone. And that even though we aren't babies any more, we still need to feel held and supported.

Recently, I did a nervous system session for a male client who is a mental health provider. He had no idea what to expect, but felt so moved by the end of the session. He remarked that he felt changed by the type of caring touch he experienced.

I grieve the way we are losing physical touch with one another, and feel so thankful that it's still OK and normal for me to provide that very fundamental bodily comfort.

Please, put a hand on a shoulder, go in for the hug, rub a friend's arm when she is sharing something hard. Look at the examples from our animal brethren– we are designed for touch, and become depressed and sick when we don't have it.

As a bodyworker, I was taught "Be generous with your touch," making multiple points of physical contact when possible. So that is what I want to encourage you to do, as well.

I know, touch can feel strange now, since we are so deprived of it. So check in and ask when you aren't sure, but please– don't lose touch with the people you care about.

Our Next Multi-Hands Sessions Are Coming up!

The next date is this Friday, October 31st. We still have space for another lucky human!

I loved getting this feedback from one of our clients, Alex:
“The multi hands session with Ariana and Maria is exponentially more powerful than an individual one. I feel like the equivalent would be at minimum 5 or more individual sessions to achieve the healing power that these amazing women can accomplish together. I felt supported, safe, and nurtured throughout the session.

Some positive side effects I noticed immediately and even weeks later include: feeling happier, more joyful, lighter, calmer, and reaching goals that I would get stuck procrastinating on before.
If you're curious about trying a multi hands session but have been hesitant to try one, here's your sign to schedule the appointment! Only good things will come from it.”

Questions? Always feel free to ask! ❤

The tears are an important part of healing. When we stop them, we stifle our growth and healing.
Many parents express that they feel really bad about crying in front of their kids. I think this is a beautiful opportunity to model something most of us weren't taught– that it's OK to FEEL, and OK to cry.
I recommend saying to little ones,
"I have some tears right now. Sometimes my body just feels SO much better after I cry for a little bit. Does that ever happen to you?"
We are teaching them (and ourselves) that it's OK to have our big feelings, and we are allowing a natural biological response to stress or pain to take over and help us get through to the other side on this human journey.

I just got home from another training in Madrid!

We completed the 6th and final class in the Visceral Manipulation series, ending with Viscero-Emotional Relationships.

This is a really different approach to working with emotions in the body than anything I have learned before. I think it will be really useful for so many of my clients.

Something that I like is that it is a lot more subtle, and requires less active involvement from clients. With this new way of working, emotions can be released or integrated efficiently, without needing to move into any dialogue– it feels like just a part of the physical treatment, but with really profound effects. Exciting!

Something I always really look forward to is spending time with “my people!” It’s so much fun to be with other therapists who are passionate about helping humans and nerdy enough to love this kind of rigorous and detailed work!

Now we most of us have been through many trainings together, and it feels so good to see each other and reconnect whenever we have the chance. Of course, it is also WONDERFUL to treat each other and be taken care of! I’m so grateful, and my body has been doing so much better overall in the last year with all of these opportunities to be treated by such great therapists.

👦🏻 Let's Talk About Anxiety in Children 👧🏼

Did you know that when it comes to anxiety, a piece of the puzzle may have something to do with how your child’s nervous system is functioning?

It’s not uncommon for a child to end up in sympathetic dominant state, while their parasympathetic response takes a back seat. Essentially, this means that your child’s nervous system is stuck in "fight or flight" (sympathetic), which can leave their body unable to access the restoration + calm (parasympathetic) part of the nervous system.

This can lead to an increase in anxiety symptoms. 😕

You may be wondering how would your child’s nervous system could end up in a stress pattern like this in the first place!

Research shows that birth trauma (both physical and emotional) can result in an imbalanced nervous system, which can lead to a whole host of symptoms, including anxiety. A mom who had a lot of anxiety during pregnancy or in postpartum can also prime a child's nervous system for this experience.

Big moves and transitions, or scary incidents can also be more than a small child can bounce back from on their own, and they may need some extra support.

The great news is that through skilled bodywork (especially CranioSacral Therapy), your child’s body and nervous system can be brought back into a place of balance + peace. ✨
Getting them regular treatments for a little while can help them to break free of these stress patterns, and tap into their fullest potential! I have seen this with SO many kiddos in my practice, and it's such a sweet privilege to help them thrive.

Here's a little story from one of my families I have been working with:

"Our family has been going through a tough season with my husband being away for months at a time. I thought my daughter had been handling the separation pretty well. What I didn't realize was that at some point, she stopped expressing how much she missed her dad. This was causing a lot of combativeness between my two children and between my daughter and me.

I didn't see that the spark in her eyes had dimmed until I saw the life come back into her eyes halfway through her session with Ariana. My daughter has been more playful, calm, and sleeping better since her appointment.

If you are on the fence on bringing your child (or yourself) to see Ariana, make the leap. Ariana is so healing. She helps everyone feel better in their bodies."

If you have been seeking solutions for your child, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am here to help.
