Part of my practice is attempting to shift the narrative of massage as a ‘treat’ or ‘indulgence’. These ideas regarding bodywork convey that stress relief is a luxury and something to reach to on a special occasion. Part of that reason is because it is often too expensive to be a regular therapy, and that accessibility factor is something I attempt to address within my sliding scale. Massage can feel wonderful, relaxing, and alleviating, I want to tell you my thoughts on why bodywork is ALSO critical for health.
We are led to think that stress is a mental state only, that one should simply bear through it and grit their teeth against it, and that mental states do not impact the physical body. Chronic stress can impact the functionality and health of ALL organ systems in the body, it can deteriorate a person’s wellness dramatically. The communities I am a part of, aligned with, adjacent to, and serve are populations with the highest stress levels due to capitalism, and are people who actively accumulate trauma from our violent society. Traumatic situations can get trapped in our bodies and need assistance to work through. It is my desire to assist my community in reducing the impact of stress and trauma on the body through accessible bodywork, hopefully metabolizing the trauma and releasing it actively and continuously. Through being in better relationship to our bodies, we can exist more easily in the ecology of our communities and do our chosen work within them. During sessions, we may be focusing on particular pain or injury issues, yet the stress relief is potently present in an inextricable way.
During a session, you can expect clear communication from me. We will have chatted (via email and in a verbal pre-consultation) and you will have filled out an intake form; these disclosures will have provided us with goals and guidelines for our session. In the treatment room, we will check in about your goals and decide together what the treatment will be structured like. I will orient you to the space, where to place your personal items, how to interact with the massage table. I will leave you with privacy to undress to your level of comfort and arrange yourself on the table. My treatments can be applied and adapted to a clothed, partially clothed, or unclothed person. You will be tucked in under the sheet and blanket at all times, with the area to be worked on modestly uncovered. If you choose to undress partially or fully, I will use oil on available skin. I will be checking in with you regarding pressure, temperature, overall comfort, but PLEASE feel free to tell me if something is not working for you. I have many tools in my toolbox, but I do not know what it feels like in your body! Every body experiences differently. At the end of the session, I will leave you with privacy and time to collect yourself and personal items, and we will check out. Please let me know if you have any specific questions, or if this is your first bodywork session.
