This is a great 15 min video on the relationship with back pain and your stress.

We tend to guard and protectively hold /tense the muscles around a pain injury with our spine. This creates a chain reaction to other parts of the body - compensation. Furthering your pain and reduction of movement.
It activates parts of the brain to increase the sensitivity in the area.

Chronic pain is all encompassing to live with. It ages you, it reduces your mental wellbeing, happiness and zest for life. Cripples your ability to function as you should and do the things you want to do.

Manage your stress, manage your holding patterns will reduce your pain.
Somatic therapy can support you in this.

Deep pressure doesn’t always mean better results. I know many clients who are sore, have a deep pressure massage and then they are bracing, tensing on the table - the body trying to get away from the pain inflicted.

The pushing through the pain doesn’t reinforce safety in the body. The bracing is tensing muscles and activating the flight/fight response. The body wants to get away from pain.

The work I do on the table is just as effective even though the pressure is lighter. It still feels connected and the fascia releases so well. The nervous system doesn’t register the threat, which is far more regulating and relaxing.

🪶 Bookings available in late March, via booking link.

The body is in collapse.
Exhausted.
Low capacity.
Burnt out.

You are not lazy, you are in survival, you are exhausted.

The work on the table with me will help to unlock stored trauma energy. This will give the body energy. I will teach you to meet your body in the exhausted state and what you can do between sessions to tend to your fatigue and your capacity.

If you have a question about your exhaustion and if somatic work will be a fit, please DM me.

At 21, I felt this knowing sensation in my body about purchasing an established massage clinic in Forrestfield. It was a body yes.

Best thing I ever did. I grew so much as a business owner, boss, colleague and therapist. I am so proud for backing myself, building up a 6 figure business with no business experience.

But I understood clients, I understood the attention to detail, to managing time, to have clients feel like VIPs.

17 years on, I still work with some of those original clients.

I wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation to all of my clients over almost 2 decades. For trusting me with their story, with their treatment and with their body. 🫶🏼🌹

Your clenched jaw.
Tight, hunched shoulders.
The overthinking, ruminating mind is the body in a stressed nervous system response. Deregulation.

On the table, I teach you what regulation feels like. Attuning to the softness, spaciousness and health that is within.

When a body feels safe, even for a micro moment, it feels soft. Soft is regulation.

Your clenched jaw is the body’s way of protecting you, keeping you safe.

The deep bracing throughout your chest, tummy and pelvic floor are all protective mechanisms against emotional or physical impact.

However, this is exhausting to carry every day.

On my table, we start to re-wire the nervous system response. Creating a sense of safety, softness and ease so the protective shield can be lowered.

When I check in with a client after their somatic session, we notice how good the body feels.
The softness.
The jaw feels less tight, the shoulders dropped and relaxed.

Now, imagine doing life from a body that feels like this. The softness, the regulation, the ease.

Triggers won’t feel so activating.
Easier to hold boundaries,
it is easier to not overthink or overreact in work.
It’s easier to parent.

Far less stress and discomfort to do life from a body that feels regulated and soft, then from a body in a braced, clenched stressed state.

Work with me on the table in March, bookings available online.
