Your body holds tension for many reasons — stress, overwhelm, emotional load, long-term bracing.

Herbs like chamomile, lemon balm, holy basil, and passionflower help support the body’s natural relaxation responses so your muscles can unwind more fully.

Our in-house small-batch extracts are more potent than many store-bought versions, meaning you use less and feel more.

Our herbal extracts and teas are available at the studio this weekend during our community healing day on 1/7/25.

Alternatively, you can explore them during your next session or book online at www.veramassagestudio.org. 🌿

Deep pressure isn’t always the answer — especially when your nervous system is overwhelmed.

Slow, gentle, intentional touch helps your body:
• feel safe
• soften its protective bracing
• release tension without force
• unwind deeper stress patterns

Trauma-informed massage, craniosacral, and biofield therapy all work beautifully with the body’s natural rhythms.

If deep pressure hasn’t helped you in the past, a gentler approach may be exactly what your system needs.

• build emotional steadiness
• reconnect with your body in a safe way

These sessions meet you exactly where you are — no pressure, no storytelling required.

Some people lie down for massage and their body relaxes — but their mind doesn’t.

Biofield therapy (Reiki + sound healing) helps calm mental spiraling, emotional heaviness, and that restless feeling in the chest or belly.

It’s especially helpful if you:
• struggle to quiet your thoughts
• feel easily overstimulated
• carry emotional weight
• have tension that returns after massage

Biofield therapy supports the emotional and energetic layers underneath physical stress.

If you’ve ever felt emotional during or after a massage — you’re not alone.
Stress, memories, and overwhelm are stored in the body, especially in the neck, shoulders, hips, and belly.

When your body finally relaxes, it’s natural for emotions to move too.

Trauma-informed massage, craniosacral therapy, and biofield therapy all make space for emotional release in a safe, grounded way.

Your body is allowed to feel.
Your healing is welcome here.

If your shoulders live permanently in “shrug mode,” it’s not just bad posture.

It’s often a protective pattern your body learned during long-term stress.

Many people carry emotional or mental load in their upper body, especially the shoulders, neck, and jaw.

Massage helps soften this, but deeper support like craniosacral therapy, biofield therapy, and trauma wellness recovery sessions help shift the pattern — not just the muscle.

Your body isn’t being stubborn.
It’s trying to keep you safe.

If you’re ready for support that reaches the deeper layers, you can book at www.veramassagestudio.org or DM us anytime. 🌿

If you’ve been getting massage after massage and your tension still returns quickly, it may not be a “muscle problem” at all.
It may be your nervous system asking for help.

Muscular tension usually responds to hands-on work.

Nervous-system tension shows up when your body has been holding stress for a long time.

You might be dealing with nervous-system tension if you experience:
• tightness that returns fast
• clenching or bracing without realizing it
• irritability or overwhelm
• trouble relaxing during massage
• heaviness or restlessness in the body

At Vera Massage Studio, we support both the muscles and the stress patterns underneath them through massage, craniosacral therapy, biofield therapy, and trauma wellness recovery sessions.

If you’re ready to shift your tension at the root, you can book at www.veramassagestudio.org or send us a DM anytime. 🌿
