Rewrite Your Body Story

 

What is your body story?

You know, the story you don’t even think about anymore, the one that just “is,” that seems to define your physical self and your role in life. Are you:

  • In pain physically or emotionally
  • Always sick Brittle
  • Too big/Too small
  • Too much/Not enough

Perhaps your body story has changed through aging, illness or injury, weight loss or gain, pregnancy or menopause. And the body facing you today looks and feels like a stranger.

My body story read: Fat. Physically uncoordinated. Sickly, facing a life of respiratory problems. And yet, at 37, I’ve competed in triathlons. Hiked the hills of California, Colorado and the South of France. Mountain biked through the Sierra Madre. Maintained a healthy weight for five years. And I’m not done yet.

I believe that when you change how you feel about your body, you change what you can do with your body. And the universe opens with infinite possibilities.

I rewrote my body story by receiving massage and bodywork. My intention is to help you rewrite yours - by providing safe, healing touch that allows you to listen to what your body has to say and to respond to it. Through massage you will begin to notice the places that hold tension, need attention, and ask to rest, digest and heal. And you will begin answering the question “How would I live my life differently if I believed that the body I have RIGHT NOW is enough?” Would you: Skydive. Ask for a raise. Initiate sex. Publish a poem. Say “no.” Take a nap?

When we work together I respond to your body’s unique and always-changing needs, blending clinical and energetic massage techniques. Following our sessions you will have:

  • Less stress and physical pain
  • Increased flexibility and ease of movement
  • A sense of connection to your body and its messages
  • Self-help tools to keep you well
  • An enhanced feeling of relaxation and well-being
  • A better appreciation for the body you have today

Your body is ready to share its strength, vitality and perfection with you. I’m here to help you accept that gift.
