TW: Trauma/Bodywork..................................................................................................................

Hello dear clients. At this holiday season I know it seems a little weird to discuss trauma in regards to bodywork, but I have heard stories over the past 21 years and worked with clients who have it, want to understand it, want to not be controlled by it. This is a tall order which requires professional psychological support, a tribe with which you can relate, communicate with, and be vulnerable around, the medical establishment and their medicines, alternative healthcare and it's different medicine, and a lot of courage.

As someone with CPTSD (Complex PTSD), generalized anxiety disorder, and panic disorder, 17 surgeries, a broken neck, among other things, I am familiar with trauma on many levels.
Bodywork can be a very effective addition to all the measures I stated above. Reminding your nervous system where home is, where the "soft" lives, where rest and repair are the order of the day. As a species, we have traveled far away from ourselves. In this holiday season, consider giving yourself the gift of experiencing, rest, and integration. Your muscles will be positively affected, your pain can decrease, your awareness can become more finely tuned, and you can become empowered in body, mind, and spirit.

If you are experiencing acute trauma, please feel free to always know you can reach out to me. I have many, many referrals of MDs, DCs, LMTs, PhDs, PTs, MSWs, and every letter you can think of. You do not have to live in fear alone. Come let me reintroduce you to yourself.

I hope you are safe, warm, and enjoying the presence of those you love most.

Love,

Stine

Hello clients,

Sending a message today for multiple reasons. I am currently adding an 11:15am appointment at my home office on Mondays, and also adding a 4:15 appointment at Three Pillars on Thursdays. Hopefully this will allow some of you a little more freedom in scheduling.

Also, for those of you who are clients at Three Pillars, I got an adjustment from Dr. Lindley (who is taking care of Dr. Flood's clients while she is away), and folks, this young upstart ROCKED my world, and I'm really old and opinionated. Anyway, for those of you who would benefit from adjustments the next month and a half, Dr. Jack is your guy!

And lastly, I wanted to say thank you to all of you. Referrals are such a good form of feedback, and I wanted to get on and thank each of you who show up and are present for your appointments, and who send other loved ones and friends for some bodywork. Thank you,I wouldn't be able to do it without you.

* If you would like to be removed from this list, please respond to the email simply with the word, "remove"*

Happy Friday dear clients and friends,

I want to speak a little today about what my biggest objective as a bodyworker when someone is having a session with me. Getting you out of pain is ALWAYS a wonderful thing when it occurs. That said, pain is a very elusive phenomenon, much of which is an interpretation of suffering taking part in our brain. Nociception happens, suffering is malleable and is subject to your conscious brain. I teach people how to think. And in addition to changing some of the messages we constantly tell ourselves in our heads, changing these messages can and DOES change physiology. My job is to shine a light on your shoulders up by your ears, or your tmj grinding beyond the telling of it. It does not matter if *I* know your shoulders are up by your ears, but it surely matters if you do.

Come feel, assimilate, integrate, and learn. I welcome your nervous system to school.

Stine
