Sanctum comes from the Latin word for holy.
When I chose the name Sanctum Bodyworks, I wanted it to reflect what this work is really about: helping you settle into yourself and reconnect with the wise, creative, deeply sacred part of you thatâs always been there.
Some call it spirit. Some say soul, energy, intuition, or universal consciousness. Whatever the name, itâs the part of you that knows how to heal, how to listen, and how to guide.
It might sound unusual to connect with spirit by going down into the bodyâbut when your attention rests on sensation, you land fully in the present moment. That presence creates the same quiet spaciousness we associate with meditation: a place where insight arises, intuition clarifies, and something sacred becomes accessible.
Western culture often teaches us to ârise upâ into the mind to find wisdom. But spirit isnât only above us. Itâs also rooted within us.
The mindâbodyâspirit connection isnât linearâitâs woven, cyclical, cascading. You can reach spirit by ascendingâŚbut you can just as powerfully reach it by descending: by settling into the body, into the roots of your being.
Thatâs what I love about bodywork and other embodiment practices.
They invite you down into the deep, steady layers that hold youâlike returning to a seed of pure potential. In that grounded place, spirit becomes not something to reach for, but something you uncover. Something thatâs been here all along.
