Mental Health Massage

 

Mental Health Massage is a gentle massage combined with energy work in one session. It is designed to allow your body time and space to process loss, grief, anxiety, or other emotions in a warm, safe, comfy environment. Loss and grieving include not only death, but divorce, accidents, job losses, friends losses, or the loss of a pet. Mental Health Massage is not an attempt to “fix” your grief or help you move through it more quickly. Instead, Mental Health Massage provides a  space for you to process emotions through gentle touch, so your body may begin to heal itself. 

I have been trained in grief processing through the nurses, counselors, social workers, pastors, massage therapists, energy facilitators, and friends who held safe space for me in my own losses, and through trauma-informed study. I have a deep compassion for caregivers and for those with chronic illness and challenges. This type of massage utilizes all these personal and professional skills in one session to provide the best experience for your body to heal itself.
