Bodywork

Our therapeutic massages combines various massage techniques and somatic approaches to release physical tension, promote healing, and support nervous system regulation. This hands-on therapy helps restore balance to both body and mind through skilled touch and focused attention to areas of stored tension and stress.

How does it work?

Therapeutic touch activates mechanoreceptors in the skin and deeper tissues, sending signals to the brain that promote relaxation and reduce stress hormone production.

The pressure and movement applied during massage help release muscle tension, improve circulation, and stimulate the lymphatic system.

This physical manipulation also triggers the release of oxytocin and other beneficial neurotransmitters while reducing cortisol levels, creating a profound relaxation response in the nervous system. Additionally, bodywork can help release emotional tension stored in the physical body through targeted work on areas of chronic tension.

Backed by science

Clinical studies published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine demonstrate that massage therapy can reduce cortisol levels by up to 31% while increasing serotonin and dopamine levels by 28% and 31% respectively.

Research in the International Journal of Neuroscience shows that regular massage can improve vagal tone and heart rate variability, indicating enhanced nervous system regulation.

Studies have also documented reduced inflammation markers, improved immune function, and better pain management through consistent bodywork sessions.

Benefits of Bodywork

Therapeutic massage has shown promise in:

Reduced muscle tension and pain
Improved nervous system regulation
Enhanced circulation and lymphatic flow
Better sleep quality
Reduced anxiety and stress
Released emotional tension
Accelerated exercise recovery
Improved joint mobility
Enhanced body awareness
Supported immune function

Integration with other modalities

Bodywork is most effective when combined with other approaches to nervous system regulation. We integrate neurofeedback with various other modalities to create a comprehensive approach to mental and physical wellbeing.

Sympathetic Dominance Protocol

A psychosomatic stress reduction method that combines various modalities to identify and remove emotional blocks that express as physical symptoms.

PEMF & Infrared

Muscle relaxation, improved circulation and ion transportation to stimulate the body's natural recovery process.

Photobiomodulation

Red light and Near Infrared Light of specific wavelengths interact with the mitochondria to boost ATP production (more energy).

Cold Thermogenesis

Nervous system regulation training and helps to reduce inflammation, boost metabolism and improve immune function.

Gut Healing Protocol

Reduce harmful bacteria and parasites, heal the gut lining and encourage growth of beneficial bacteria to boost the immune system and gut-brain connection.
