Experience Holistic Emotional & Trauma Healing Support!

In  Waking the Tiger, author Peter Levine explains why humans are often frozen in trauma, unlike animals who cope daily with the unpredictability of nature. Both animals and humans react to stressors by preparing to fight, flee, or freeze.  

Animals disperse this "stress energy" by the fighting, fleeing, or shaking it off after freezing, humans usually don’t.  So where does all that tensed energy go?   It stays in our bodies! According to Levine, "psychological wounds are reversible and that healing comes when the physical and mental letting go occurs." 

Relational Bodywork can be used to access and release energy associated with stress and trauma, thus addressing a variety of life issues including current physical and emotional challenges, past trauma, addictions, feeling stuck in life and/or our body.

Safe, Healing Touch  

Relational Bodywork uses gentle touch, holding, energy bodywork and human connection with the intent to heal and access our inner potential. When a person feels safe, accepted and welcome, a letting go of what we don't need anymore can happen - and then a letting in of what we need now.

Within the therapeutic environment, with a competent and sensitive therapist, you have the ability to release and clear the pain and trauma of the past. When we fully let go of the pain of our past, we can embrace life in the present, and experience the love and beauty of living in the moment.

Relational Bodywork and the Bodymind

The word “bodymind,” coined by Ken Dychtwald in his book Bodymind, expresses the core philosophic belief of Eastern thought — that body, mind, and spirit are one inseparable whole. “Relational Bodywork” is a term that emphasizes the need to activate all aspects of ourselves to achieve optimal mental, emotional and spiritual health.
