The Mind-Body-Connection in Bodywork!

Couple Meditating on the Beach


 

Bodywork incorporates a holistic approach of several modalities, restoring the body-mind-emotions connections. It is an elevated form of massage therapy including energy work, releasing fascia and nerves, dropping the body into a relaxing state, thereby calming the nervous system and decompressing nervous energy.

 

The goal is to address the underlying causes of emotional and physical stress while still working with the tissues, muscles and fascia to elevate the body and mind to relaxation, well-being and neutrality. 

 

It includes releasing the Vagus Nerve, which is the stress center of the body. It relates to the parasympathetic nervous system, which regulates breathing, digestion and the heart rate. It calms the adrenals and gets the client out of the “fight-or-flight” response.

 

The Vagus Nerve is crucial in stress management, heart rate regulation, breathing, maintaining homeostasis in the body, boosts mental health, emotional regulation and resilience. 

Adverse reactions from tension on the Vagus Nerve or low Vagal Tone can result in depression, anxiety, elevated blood pressure and increased heart rate.

 

Finding a bodyworker who understands your body and can tune into your body, addressing what it is you need, you get more than a massage, you are getting bodywork.

 

Most in-depth-bodywork sessions are longer and can last up

to 2 or 3 hours whereas a Massage Therapy typically is an hour

to an hour-and-a-half.

We provide bodywork sessions in 90min. & 110min. Sessions.

 

Feel the difference and come back to a harmony in body & mind.
