Doctor Rose Massage & Somatic Bodywork

Peace...
How deeply we all need it.

No matter how driven we may be in our professional lives or towards a personal goal,
Time taken to allow ourselves deep, restorative peace is key towards wellbeing and meaningful success.

My work in somatic bodywork therapy and massage is largely an overflowing and outpouring of this deep peace.

I find this peace for myself in movement-based meditation, in Nature, and in sitting or dancing or making music around an open fire under starlit skies.

I connect to that peace in myself while I work with a client, holding that strong base from which my client's nervous system can sense, without a word, that they are held in peace and safety. I express touch that is calming and therapeutic. Energy that is uplifting and healing. Whatever places in the person need to be calmed, comforted or uplifted, the loving, calm energy is there, holistically woven through the moment.

Today, take a moment to connect to Peace. Feel it wherever you need it within yourself. Let it touch you and heal you 🌹

And if you, or someone you love, needs some support in reconnecting with your own beautiful inner peace and calm, reach out to me for an appointment . I am based in Cape Town CBD, although I do regularly visit clients in other cities.

FYI I offer gift vouchers if you want to gift someone you care about; and I also do a very beautiful and unique couples connection massage which I absolutely love sharing with couples of all varieties.

Human touch has such powerful qualities. When used with skill and with deep loving intentionality, it reaches far more than just our physical bodies.

According to the World Health Organisation, there is a global Loneliness epidemic - and I hear the same story so often from people coming to me for massage therapy and Somatic bodywork.

Even people in relationships are often out of touch with each other and too busy to make time for the simple joy of human connection.

We have gone beyond Skin Hunger to Touch Starvation - and the effects of this loneliness and lack of natural healthy human touch are far reaching - people's energy, self-esteem, mood, creativity, problem-solving abilities, and overall health, are just a few of the areas where we suffer from lack of loving touch.

Come to me, all you who are weary and overburdened.
Come to me, all you who are lonely and needing human connection 🌹

I offer gentle, loving, therapeutic touch for health, happiness and wellbeing - so reach out if you need me.
I'm available by appointment at my massage studio in the Cape Town CBD

For many years, Skin Hunger has been a condition that people who are single or in a s.e.xless marriage have struggled with.

Since the global lockdown in 2020, physical touch has become even more rare and difficult to access, and people are using new language to describe the severity of suffering from the lack of warm human contact -
TOUCH STARVATION 😢

Therapeutic touch is wonderful for aching muscles, stiff and sore bodies, and stress and tension. And yet, it may be even more beneficial as holistic support for skin hunger, touch starvation, low mood, low energy, depression, anxiety and even PTSD.

In my practice, in addition to my signature Swedish / Hawaiian fusion style massage, I offer intuitive touch therapy and Somatic bodywork therapy.

Massage and Touch therapy can be incredibly helpful for men and women who are driven, always busy, hard-working and successful. These are the people who often drive themselves harder than they would drive any employee or partner - and who know that filling their up their need for natural, healthy human touch balances out so many of the deficits created in the pursuit of exceptional life and work performance.

Touch therapy is also super important for the gentle souls and quiet ones who are shy or reserved by nature and often find their need for human touch and connection incredibly difficult to access.

If you or someone you love would benefit from therapeutic touch, please share this post and reach out to me for personalised support.

Lay your body down for me.
Just relax and breathe.
Let me bring you peace.

I have a special passion for supporting other healers and therapists, as well as those individuals who give so much to others.

You know who you are... And you know that sometimes you need to fill your own cup, in order to help and support others.

My Touch Therapy offering may be needed in the form of
my signature wonderful Swedish / Kahuna fusion style massage or a Yin-Yoga inspired massage.

Or if you are going through some heavy stuff and you are energy sensitive, you might experience a deeper energy and even sometimes profound personal shifts with an intuitive touch therapy session.

You may even simply need to be held and feel warm comforting arms around you for a long stretch of time till you feel settled, perhaps a whole hour or longer...

Deep loving intentionality is at the heart of what I do, and while your body relaxes in my calm, comforting presence, your entire nervous system is soothed and energised by safe, supportive, therapeutic touch.

There is no judgment.
It's a safe space.

Reach out if you resonate with my approach and would love to experience my loving support. 🌹WhatsApp +27602055142
