Nervous System Massage
Experience a Nervous System Massage designed to soothe and ground you into your body. Allow yourself the opportunity to slow down, let go and receive nurturing, gentle and restorative touch.
Designed to take your body on a journey into deep relaxation and stillness, these sessions activate the parasympathetic nervous system and increase the release of endorphins, the body's natural "feel-good" chemicals.
Each session meets your body with the care it needs. A blend of techniques are offered, tailored to your body and being, including guided breathing, rhythmical rocking and pulsing, deep tissue massage, trigger point release, body compressions, bone and joint massage, and sensory activation through scents, sound and sensory objects, all of which allows a sense of unfurling, melting away physical, mental and emotional tension and being cocooned and held.
Whole-body integrative strokes inspired by Kahuna and Lomi Loma massage, are woven throughout. These fluid motions and rhythmic nature are likened to that of an ocean, flowing up and down the length of the body, encouraging the mind to enter a restorative, altered state of consciousness. Some clients experience a release of emotional build up, and this is welcomed as a form of emotional detox.
This is an opportunity to receive heart-based touch and open to a dynamic re-patterning process of mind, body and spirit.

“There’s a lot of neuroscience now raising the question, ‘Is all the intelligence in the human body in the brain?’, and they’re finding out that, no, it’s not like that. The body has intelligence itself, and we’re much more of an organic creature in that way”
