Just a friendly reminder

03/02/2022

There are three approaches to healing:

⬇️ Top-Down- talking, using cognitive techniques

⬆️ Bottom-Up - somatic approach, using the body to heal

➡️ Sideways- Mindfulness, meditation

These are simplified definitions. Each one approaches and affects the nervous system in a different way. No one way is better, but most modalities focus on the Top-Down approach and neglect using the body. Trauma gets stored in the body, into our entire nervous system and often hidden from our cognitive abilities. So top-down is only partially effective.

Involving the body and being aware of the body-mind, allows us to use our entire neurobiology. We can process emotions, move energy, identify sub personalities, and make the unconscious conscious.

The coaching methodology I have been practicing involves all three approaches. Transformation doesn’t happen unless our three brains are in coherence. Our limbic system emotional brain, primal/reptilian sensing brain, and cognitive thinking brain all need to communicate with each other.

This is why often we say we want something, for example to save money. We write it down, say affirmations, and declare the exact amount we need to save. Then, after a stressful day and scrolling on Instagram, we find ourselves impulse shopping. This happens because while our thinking mind was in agreement to this desire, our Limbic and Primal brains had a deeper commitment to the way impulse shopping feels.

In these coaching techniques, we go deeper, past the default system and make conscious what is holding us back from what we desire. We then integrate those parts and give them a new function, while giving ourselves permission to make choices that are in alignment with our desire.

Are you ready to bring the body-mind alive? Use pleasure to heal and integrate? And find more satisfaction and sacredness in the richness and depth of life?

Couple’s Massage Lesson

I love sharing my wisdom with others, especially those in relationships. Our relationship is the central point of our entire life. Humans are meant to attach and can find incredible healing within the container of relationship. Also, how we are relating with those closest to us impacts how we relate to others. You’re really doing a favor to your communities and the world by making your relationship a priority.

A great way to connect with your partner is through massage. So much of the time, we associate intimacy with meaning s*x, and s*xual touch only. Intimacy is far more than this, and both men and women enjoy nons*xual touch. I’ve heard from many clients that share “my partner tries to work on my tight areas, but they get tired, or they just don’t do it right”. I’ve had some that just can’t make it in more than once a month, or even longer, for a multitude of reasons, but would absolutely benefit from the magic of massage more frequently.

So, receiving a massage lesson as a couple can be such an amazing investment in your own health as well as the wellbeing of the relationship! Not to mention a really fun date idea!

What to expect:

One partner will be on the table first. The other will be learning hands-on techniques with me while we massage together. The partner on the table will be receiving a lovely four-handed massage from me and the person they love. There will be communication between both partners; getting feedback from the partner on the table. Then, a short break between massages before the second partner hops on the table to repeat. Both will feel amazing, have learned new skills, and will be given a handout for relationship and intimacy building skills homework.

Why?

Massage is great for your health! The benefits are countless, but in relationship it helps with bonding and feel-good chemicals of oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. Stress-relief aspects help with more grounded communication, loving thoughts towards one another, and better s*x! Massage from your partner helps strengthen connection, deepen feelings of intimacy, and get to know your person on a deeper level.

Late afternoons, evenings and weekend appointments are available. Appointments last for 2 1/2 hours.

If you want to change your life, you don’t have to do a complete overhaul with lofty goals, or expect it to shift with the snap of your fingers.

Just making small changes over time will yield incredible results.

The beauty of chipping away at one area in your life is that it will impact every other aspect of your life. We are holistic and integrated beings. We are not machines with parts that work independently of one another. Every “piece” is interconnected and interrelated.

Our physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental systems are like pillars holding our temple together. When one suffers, the other systems feel the tension. When we focus on even one area at a time, the others improve as well.

For example, if someone comes to me, as a massage therapist, and their body is full of tension which causes pain, I can help relieve their adhesions with bodywork. The physical pain wasn’t just created by overuse, but it can be a factor. When we hold onto mental and emotional tension, it shows up in our physical body. Getting the massage not only relieves physical tension, it reduces mental and emotional stress and allows energetic flow to freely move. Massage also benefits spiritual health through human touch and connection. Each system is affected through one choice- getting a massage.

Another example, getting regular physical activity, even as simple as a 20 minute walk, affects all systems. When we are physically engaged, our mental functions operate much better. Better blood flow to our brains, the release of neurotransmitters, and taking in our surroundings all affect our mental capacity.

Getting our bodies moving also allows us to move through our emotions that weren’t processed earlier. Emotion equals energy in motion, and moving through the fight/flight stress response allows us to engage with our sensations instead of repressing them.

Spiritually, when I personally go for a walk, I feel connected to nature, where I found God. Even if God doesn’t resonate, knowing that you are alive, like everything around you, brings on a deeper feeling of connection. Just going on a walk can create a cascade of habits that uplift, inspire, and create health in your life.

It doesn’t have to start on the physical plane, however, it can be the simplest place to start. Starting on the spiritual pillar, one can realize the gift and beauty of their body, deciding from that point to start taking better care of their temple of the body. Expanding the mental system by reading a book on a new skill, health, spirituality, or understanding the role of emotions leads to improvement in any of these systems.

Allowing ourselves to feel and express our emotions, getting honest about the feedback we are receiving from our environment can be the catalyst to change it.

Nothing within us is separate; just as nothing without is separate either. We are interconnected with ourselves as we are with every living thing in this world. Small shifts make huge differences in our lives.

Where will you begin?

Alchemize Rage into Power:
A workshop for women to safely express what’s been holding you back

June 16th in Kansas City

Do you allow yourself to express anger in a healthy way? Maybe you say “I’m not an angry person”, “nothing really bothers me”, “it’s not acceptable to express those emotions”, or “I wouldn’t even know where to start”.

Do you identify as a “nice girl”, or “good girl”? The one who aims to please others, smooth out tension in the room, doesn’t ask for what she *really* wants. Perhaps growing up, your anger was punished or you were expected to “go along to get along”. This way of operating in the world may have worked when you were younger- to feel accepted, loved, and safe.

But now, it’s toxic. Suppressing your anger requires a tremendous amount of energy. Energy that could be used to express other emotions, or be transformed into passion to go after your dreams. When we hold back safe expression of anger, we turn it against ourselves.

To alchemize your anger into power is an incredible act of self-love. Lisa and I are offering a transformative workshop that includes potent journal prompts, an ecstatic dance that takes you from raw rage into passionate power, and meditations to ground into your new way of being.

Your anger is nothing to fear; it’s beautiful. You don’t have to hold on to it, or turn it against yourself anymore! Invite the feelings to heal yourself and be open to the messages your rage has for you.

Keep an eye out for more details!

The Power Of Touch

Touch is our first sense to develop and the last one to fade. Our need for touch never ends from birth to death, and we can actually become starved for touch. Babies won’t survive if they don’t receive adequate touch.

Touch is so much more than sensual or s*xual sensations. We can even benefit from a pat on the back, a handshake, and cuddling can be incredible for your health beyond just feeling good.

Our body releases cortisol under stress, and lack of touch can cause this. Cortisol wrecks our immune system, disrupts sleep, causes weight gain, and many other negative symptoms. Touch promotes oxytocin, a feel-good-bonding hormone as well as serotonin, a natural antidepressant, and dopamine, the reward and pleasure chemical.

Our body has nerve fibers called C-tactile afferents, they respond to any type of gentle touch and they send signals to your vagus nerve, the brain to body highway. So, even if you’re not in a relationship, you can benefit from touch. Try a massage, a facial, or even a manicure to boost health benefits.

Without regular touch, you may have feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and stress.

Trying touch before supplementing with substances might be the answer you’ve been searching for.

DM me if you need more touch in your life, and I’d love to get you on my table for massage 🤗

A recent review from a repeat client on massage services:

“My massage experiences with Savannah were wonderful. She was recommended to me, and I quickly learned that she is one of the best body workers in the area! She has many options to chose from regarding body work and also length of sessions she provides.

She’s very professional and also very warm and inviting. Her office setting was calm and relaxing, with wonderful background music, and I felt very comfortable with her. She asked about my health to obtain necessary information and my goals for the session. She has a wealth of knowledge and shared practical tips on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I left her office after receiving one of the best massages that I’ve ever had.

I hope that others will take advantage of her expertise, techniques, and wisdom. “

If you’ve ever been curious about Reiki or even experiencing Distance Reiki (enjoy from anywhere in the world, here’s a recent review!)

04/26/2021

Do your neck and upper back get tight?

Do you notice this after a stressful day? Or after being around people who irritate you?

It might not be from just muscle tension on its own. Your breathing could be shallow and up in the chest only. If you don’t take deep inhales from the diaphragm; belly breaths, you could be over working your neck and shoulders when breathing!

Try this exercise now!

Notice how you breath normally and any body sensations that are present at the moment.
Imagine your belly is a sphere.
See if you can expand the belly outwards in 360 degrees.
Then let the breath travel to the top of your head.
On the exhale, release your jaw (another form of tension that gets expressed as tightness throughout the body).
Do this 6 times.
Notice if sensations have changed and if your breathing pattern stays at this depth and awareness.
Repeat often!
