On facial manual therapy and cosmetic acupuncture.

When the bones, fascia, and muscles relax, the structure of the face can open. More space allows freer circulation of qi, blood and lymphatic fluids, which bring luminosity, a plump glow, and de-puffing respectively. More space in the bone structure without muscular compression looks like wider and more chiseled cheekbones, lifted brows, open eyes, a more snatched jawline and smoother skin.

When space opens in the body, living breath can move freely through the tissues; the body is enlivened, we emanate a light/life force from beyond our small selves. It’s that same intelligent, luminous force that grew us in the first place, that heals paper cuts, that reaches plants towards the sun. Nothing is more beautiful than that radiance.

My work is the gentle art of unencumbering its flow.

I’m so happy to welcome a skilled, tender-hearted and magic-handed massage therapist to my practice! Sarah’s sessions are intuitively-guided and strike a rare balance of deeply relaxing and therapeutic. Her approach follows our practice’s ethos of honoring deep listening, bowing to the wisdom of the body and its self-sovereignty, and offering true care. She brings a myriad of modalities to meet the needs of each individual including craniosacral therapy (my personal fave), abdominal massage (also my fave), reflexology, scalp massage, lymphatic work, deep tissue, and more. I put together my dream massage for all of you to enjoy, the one I always wished existed! Link in bio to book! Studio sessions and house calls are avail.

The spring equinox is less than a week away! I hope you join us for our Soma workshop on March 20th tending to the turn of the seasons. We still have space for a few more participants.
 
This is the first of a series of seasonal somatic breathwork & movement workshops throughout 2022 to mark the key nodes of the solstices and equinoxes. It will be a lovely way to track yourself through your year, in community. I hope you can join us!
 
Please feel free to pass on this email to others who may benefit from this work.

Soma classes and workshops offer a supported space to turn the bright light of your active awareness inwards to listen and tend to the slower tides of your body. With breath and subtle movement practices, you'll turn your attention to your inner landscape - the magnificent, sparkling, alive sea within. A chance come down from your stress response and shift into a settled state, so that the innate intelligence of your living body can express itself.

Acupuncture under the trees.

In the serene, held space of a treatment, we can start to feel the somatic layers of shock and numbness we’ve gathered in response to the past many years now of political events and their painful impacts.

It is essential we find space amidst it all to tend to ourselves, to find support - people to hold space while we tend to ourselves - so that we can begin to peel the layers, climb out from beneath the numbness and reckon with the trauma our collective has and is experiencing.

The world needs our awareness as a prerequisite for action. Society is desperate for our lucidity. I ask myself, what support to I need to be able to be present? To keep feeling. To keep caring. To keep extending empathy. To show up. To act.

Acupuncture and somatic healing can help rouse the sensorial world, loosen our veils of numbness and return us to our deep capacity to feel the nature of ourselves and others. It is not selfish or indulgent; it is a necessary aspect of sustainable resistance and radical love.

A reminder that my upcoming embodied meditation class starts on Wednesday and is open to all to join live online or via the recordings. A held space to let your inner waters settle. Time to rest into radical slowness, to listen to the deep pulse of your breath, to cultivate your connection to your inner landscape - that wordless world of sensation and subtle, intelligent movement. Sign up at link in bio. DM me if you have any questions 🤍
