When life brings chaos, unwanted change, and overwhelming situations, our bodies release survival hormones (adrenaline and cortisol) to help us find safety and return to peace... but we aren't built for prolonged, constantly repeated stress.

Those moments, even if they don’t seem like “big traumas,” can get stuck in the body.

​

Trauma isn’t just about one big event; it’s anything that felt like too much, too fast, or without enough support.

​

Because we aren't taught to drop into our animal/survival brain during trauma, then these survival hormones are not released. Instead, they get stuck in our bodies in the form of chronic physical and mental health symptoms.

​

The good news is that we can release survival hormones no matter how far back they were stored, and it doesn't require talking about what happened or breaking down into tears.

As Massage Therapists, we see firsthand how overlooked this information is in the world of bodywork while so many of our clients come in saying, “I feel like my pain is more than just physical.” We're here to pave a new path forward in bodywork, one where the brain and body work in harmony to free you of the symptoms of the past.
