Our Goal For Each Visit
Finding Your Frequency:
Nurturing the Nervous System with Care
We are all familiar with the five senses: taste, touch, smell, sight, and hearing but some believe we have up to 33 senses. Beyond the traditional five senses are others that include our sense of balance and awareness of our internal state. What do all the senses have in common? Vibration. It’s why unpleasant sounds put us in a bad mood and music we like in a good mood.
These vibrations don’t just affect our ears; they resonate throughout our entire nervous system, each of us vibrating at our unique frequency. Have you ever felt “out of tune” with yourself or your environment and wondered how we can gently guide ourselves back into harmony? This process is where the healing art of massage comes into play. By soothing the muscles and easing tension in trigger points, massage helps to recalibrate our body’s natural rhythms. Imagine the deep sense of relief and wellbeing that comes from this realignment.
Being in tune tells our bodies we are safe, and we produce less of the stress hormone cortisol. Human touch is validating and provides a healthy dose of oxytocin. Our lymph system is flushed, giving us strong immunity. When all these systems are working together, we experience less chronic pain and heal from injuries faster. We owe it to ourselves as owners of vibration-feeling bodies to manage this attunement. We have more agency of ourselves when our nervous systems are harmonious.
It has been said that nothing is stronger than the power of human touch. For many, massage is a powerful tool to undo the layers of stress and bring us to harmony. It has been an honor to provide this service for over 20 years and see the proof of this approach session after session. No matter if you are at the beginning of your wellness journey or well on your way seeking advanced techniques for specific goals, I’d love to give you the opportunity to find out for yourself!
