Chronic pain and long-term health imbalances that don't respond well to medical treatments are often a result of unresolved trauma. Traumatic events occur in a person's life, and they may not be equipped with the skills or tools at the time to work through the full impact that the incident had on them. Emotions and energies get stuck and trapped in the body and can be an underlying contributing factor to complicated issues in the tissues.

Numerous modalities, including craniosacral therapy, Maya Abdominal Therapy, somatic experiencing, and EFT, can be incorporated into sessions to help balance and regulate the vagus nerve, thus calming the body, depending on what is called for at the time. There will also be suggestions for various self-care tools and tips that you can do in between sessions to help work through challenging situations, so you can feel empowered in times of stress.

During a craniosacral therapy session, you can expect a gentle, hands-on approach with light touch to assess and manipulate the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The therapist will likely place their hands on various parts of your body to detect subtle movements and rhythms, and then apply gentle pressure or manipulation to help release any restrictions or tension. You may experience deep relaxation, subtle shifts in your body's sensations, and a sense of overall well-being during and after the session. It's important to communicate any sensations or feelings with the therapist throughout the session.

During a Maya abdominal therapy session, you can expect a gentle, non-invasive approach focused on realigning the internal organs, particularly the uterus, in order to improve their function and overall health. The therapist will likely use various techniques such as massage, gentle manipulation, and visualization to address any imbalances or blockages in the abdominal area. They may also provide lifestyle and dietary recommendations to support the healing process. It's important to communicate any concerns or discomfort with the therapist before and during the session.

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma that focuses on helping individuals release the effects of trauma stored in the body through awareness of bodily sensations and gentle techniques to regulate the nervous system. During SE sessions, the therapist helps the client gradually reconnect with their body's sensations, facilitating the discharge of trapped energy associated with traumatic events. This approach aims to restore balance to the nervous system and promote overall well-being.

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques, commonly known as tapping. It's a therapeutic approach that combines elements of traditional Chinese medicine, psychology, and exposure therapy. During an EFT session, the individual taps on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on a particular issue or emotion they want to address. The tapping is accompanied by verbalizing statements related to the issue, which helps to reduce the emotional intensity associated with it. EFT is often used to alleviate stress, anxiety, phobias, and other emotional challenges by promoting relaxation and reprogramming negative thought patterns.
