Something I have learned over the years is that the healing process for my clients begins the moment they walk in the door.

What does the atmosphere feel like?
What does it smell like?
Am I prepared to hold space for your needs, without my own agenda?

I have always believed that PLACES hold energy. I can’t tell you how many times people have walked through this door and said “it feels like peace in here”.

There have been so many tears, hugs, laughs, and stories shared in this place.

You see, my intention is to hold a space for you to heal before I even put my hands on you.

It all starts with a listening ear 🤍

The moment you feel truly heard, you start to heal.

Did you know that what’s going on in your gut can affect your mental health?

Your gut and your nervous system communicate via something called the “gut-brain axis.” In BodyTalk, we call this the “gut-brain”!

A healthy gut microbiome produces important neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which play a big role in mental health

When digestive discomfort takes place, the body sends signals through this gut-brain axis that something is not right, and it can affect your mood.

Clinically, some things we see affect the gut microbiome are parasites, chronic infections like h pylori, e-coli, and SIBO, stored emotions, subconscious belief systems, poor diet, and environmental toxins. These are some factors that can play a role in gut-disease.

BAYLOR UNIVERSITY PUBLISHES LARGEST STUDY EVER ON MASSAGE THERAPY USE

July 2024

“Many people receive massage therapy and for many reasons. But according to a new study – the largest and most comprehensive ever conducted on the subject – the prevalence of visits to massage therapists is higher than one might have imagined and the reasons may be surprising.”

“What our study shows is that it’s probably not helpful any longer to label massage as an ‘alternative’ therapy, with all of the marginality that the term conveys.”

“Licensed massage therapists ought to be respected as mainstream practitioners, whose profession provides a therapeutic approach not just to address pain and functional challenges but to foster wellness and overall well-being, physical and emotional.

Everyone can benefit from working with a skilled massage therapist. They’re the hidden gems in the healthcare system.” - Jeff Levin, Ph.D., M.P.H., University Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health. (Robert Rogers/Baylor University)

The human body is a self-healing organism.

When you get a cut, your body has the innate wisdom to start clotting blood to create a scab.

That same innate wisdom is working around the clock to restore balance with EVERY form of dis-ease and illness. Sometimes, we just need to move some blockages out of the way to help it do its thing.

Let me help you remove those blockages with a BodyTalk Session.

#10 Kidneys

Kidney time is from 5-7pm. ⏰
It’s season is winter, and element, water. 💧

The primary function of the kidneys is to filter waste material out of the blood. ♻️

In Traditional Chinese Medicine the consciousness of the kidneys is very much around fear and long term cellular memory. The kidneys hold our life force energy, the creative and intelligent energy that creates seeds of potential in our own lives and provides the power to let them grow.

Imbalance in the kidney meridian can manifest as insomnia, varicose veins in the calves or knees, knee pain, high blood pressure 🩸, dark circles under the eyes, puffy eyes, panic attacks, anxiety, impotence, and chronic kidney stones or infections.

You may simply feel “stuck”, or like you’re unsure how to move forward in life.

Some simple ways to nourish the kidneys are to do daily calf raises, practice Qi Gong, stretch your hamstrings, eat a nice warm meal, and make sure you’re getting enough electrolytes everyday. 🧘‍♀️

🙏🏼 I am so thrilled to hear this feedback from one of my amazing clients!
