✨️ Trust ✨️
An absolutely crucial element required for powerful, melty & deeply nourishing bodywork sessions.
It allows for you to completely surrender to the moment and let go of control so you can experience the inherently healing act of being held and cared for by another person.
It helps me relax and trust my therapeutic instincts, so that I can attune to you, and give you the most exquisite massage I possibly can.
When we’re carrying pain in our bodies, and we’ve been hurt by others in the past, we learn to keep our walls up and not trust others so easily. It’s a protection mechanism to avoid further harm, and in many instances, it’s justified.
Not everyone has the insight, skills and empathy to approach your most painful & sensitive parts with the care and respect required for you to feel safe enough to open up.
That’s why when I feel I have earned your trust in a bodywork session, I hold it with deep reverence and gratitude. I know it is not something always given lightly, and I truly mean it when I say I’m honoured.
We are not meant to hide away and deal with our pain by ourselves - as a social species, we are wired to heal in connection & safety.
When you come for a holistic bodywork session with me, your nervous system learns that it is safe to seek connection when you’re suffering, and that you can receive care in a way that your body understands. For those of us carrying deep pain and trust issues, this is transformative.
