Body Stress Release with Mariné

10/02/2026

A note on trust (and what you can expect)
One of the hardest parts of starting something new is not knowing what “good care” should feel like.

A Google review shared:
“Very highly recommended. Mariné is very professional and knows her trade well offering very real and understandable explanations for all questions asked.”

In practice, you should always feel:
• listened to (your experience counts)
• guided (clear explanations in plain language)
• supported (no force, no pressure)

Body Stress Release (BSR): what it is - and what it isn’t

BSR is a gentle, manual technique that works with the body’s own systems. The aim is to help the body let go of stress that has accumulated in the muscles, and to support the nervous system so the body can do what it is designed to do: self‑regulate and heal.

What BSR is:
• Gentle, non‑invasive support for releasing built‑up body stress.
• A health investment: it’s about function, energy, and long‑term resilience.

What BSR is not:
• Not a “crack and click” approach.
• Not a massage (although you may feel more relaxed).
• Not a quick fix or a promise - your body sets the pace.

If you’ve been treating symptoms, it may be time to look at the stress load underneath.

The 3 causes of body stress (and the one most people forget)

Body stress can build up from three places: physical, emotional, and chemical stressors. The “aha” is that the body doesn’t label them - it just responds with tension.

Try this: the 3‑lane reset (5 minutes)
Physical lane: Change your angle. Stand up and look at something far away for 20 seconds. Then rotate your ribs gently left/right. Your neck often softens when your eyes and ribs move.
Emotional lane: Name it + place it. “I feel ____ and I feel it in my ____.” (Chest? throat? stomach?) This reduces the unconscious bracing.
Chemical lane: Reduce the micro‑irritants. Drink a full glass of water and open a window for 2 minutes. Dehydration + stale air quietly increase tension for many people.

Do one lane per day for a week. You’re not “doing more” - you’re lowering load.

Your body doesn’t file stress under “later.” It stores it.

Here’s the simplest way to catch stress early (before it turns into “why am I suddenly exhausted?”)

The 90‑second Baseline Check (save this)
1) Jaw: let your teeth separate; tongue rests on the roof of your mouth.
2) Shoulders: breathe out and allow them to drop 1 cm.
3) Neck: look left/right - does one side feel “shorter”?
4) Breathing: 3 slow breaths through your nose (no forcing).
5) Feet: wiggle your toes - can you do it without gripping?

The point isn’t to “fix” anything in the moment. It’s to notice what your body is doing when you’re not paying attention. Awareness is the first step in changing your stress load.

Self-care is not a luxury. It is a necessity.

In a world that constantly demands more from you, your body often carries the weight of stress, tension and fatigue — long before you realise it.

When the body is given the chance to relax, healing can begin naturally.

Body Stress Release supports this process by gently helping the body let go of stored tension and restore balance.

Putting yourself first isn’t indulgent — it’s essential for long-term wellbeing.
