THE TREATMENT
The treatment will follow what the client's system needs are. This kind of treatment does not look to correct, fix things or impose changes on your body.
What you will experience is a delicate contact that is based on the art of listening.
The practitioner acts as a point on which the client can rely, creating a strong sense of safety.
During the treatment, while you're laying on the massage table, I will gently map whole body patterns and locate tensions. As we progress, the treatment will focus on certain areas of the body.
The touch is gentle, respectful and extremely precise.
The client typically falls into a deep state of relaxation.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER A TREATMENT?
Right after the treatment, most clients typically feel quite relaxed and peaceful. They may also begin to feel relief and improvement from pain, tension and specific ailments.
In many cases, the alleviation of symptoms can happen anywhere from within a few days to a few weeks. For some individuals, the recovery is more gradual and requires time and careful attention. It's important to be patient and to observe that improvement is sometimes subtle, and shows small yet crucial changes.
Alternatively, some treatment outcomes may be linked to a new insight – for instance: coming to an important realization, or a new idea, allowing a feeling or emotion that was previously held back, making a decision that was previously neglected, etc. As this “seemingly unrelated” process unfolds, relief too begins to occur. This is one of the reasons we use the words “self-healing” when we talk about Holism. The healing may come from our internal processes as we observe a shift in our awareness.
Either through ailments or through wellness, our bodies communicate with us; the work that we do is of great importance because it reestablishes that dialogue. "Learning to listen to this dialogue is the beginning of the healing process."
Important:
Practitioner and client are developing a relationship within a framework of trust. The more this relationship is nurtured, the more our systems become familiar and comfortable with each other.
With each session, your body is gradually learning how to unwind and how to release tension. It gets better and better at it.
In this regard, although not required, it is typically recommended to receive 3 initial treatments, which can be spaced out within a 3 month period. An initial three session protocol will allow us to delve much deeper into any tensions you may have.
Note: acute cases are different and require more ongoing attention.
