The vagus nerve is key in healing from trauma + creating overall wellbeing. The vagus nerve is actually a bundle of nerves that begins at the brain stem + connects to all of our organs. It’s the pathway of communication between the brain, the nervous system, + the gut (also known as the gut-brain axis). In short: the vagus nerve IS the mind-body connection. When we have unresolved trauma, the vagal tone becomes weak. A weak vagal tone is linked to high inflammation (scientifically linked to all psychiatric illness), chronic illness, digestive issues, cardiovascular disease etc. Having a weak vagal tone means we don’t recover from stress quickly + are “stuck” in nervous system fight, freeze, or shutdown. A strong vagal tone is associated with emotional stability, low inflammation, a feeling of wellbeing, + improved bodily function. Vagal tone stimulators are now being inserted in hospitals, but the good news is you can heal your vagal tone with daily commitment. This information is incredibly important— please share this with people you love. For more on this: see my blog post “Vagus Nerve: a path to healing.” Or my YouTube video “The Trauma Nerve.” To go even deeper, research Polyvagal Theory (Stephen Porges) + check out the book “The Body Keep Score.

Hello friends!

It's time to bring back peace and healing! We are all hardwired for safe, loving physical contact, and I aim to serve this need. In addition to alleviating sore muscles, I use massage therapy to promote inner health by soothing the nervous system to help the body feel peaceful and safe. This has an uplifting effect on you and everyone around you!

My massage work prompts a distinct physiological response of safety deep in the nervous system, which washes your brain with natural comfort and opens your heart. This makes it especially well suited for people struggling with stress factors such as anxiety, depression, or loneliness, as well as for those going through a difficult experience like grief or relational strife.

The "safe and social" response also frees up energy in the body for higher connections and pursuits, which makes my massage ideal for people doing spiritual work like meditation or prayer, as well as creative, artistic, intellectual or academic projects.

Love your body! Take a break from irrational fears that keep you constrained and disconnected. Expand into a fuller, more joyful, more purposeful experience of Love, Light, and Life! Together we can heal our world.
