Life transitions

Biodynamic Massage Therapy works directly with your energy and your body and I am particularly aware of the role emotions and feelings can affect us- whether in terms of how they are held in our bodies and how they drive all forms of behaviour- conscious, unconscious and sub-conscious. Biodynamic Massage Therapy simultaneously supports and invites greater connectivity and flow. Feelings of security, release and support are conveyed and felt directly and this in turn brings about greater feelings of spaciousness and resourcefulness. In this context, I see Biodynamic Massage Therapy as an empowering massage therapy that simultaneously releases and gives back power and energy for people working through life’s challenges.

It is not uncommon these days for us to have to cope with multiple families, single parenting and multiple jobs – with everyone wanting and needing our attention, time and resources. When we layer on top of this, unexpected or major events, we can be left feeling very depleted and running on empty. When we find ourselves in this situation, the last thing we want to do is to give time to ourselves. Yet this is the only way in which you can ensure you are supported and replenished enough to carry on taking care of others. Otherwise, we may find ourselves facing major health problems (physical and mental) or experiencing burnout.

Major life events themselves can trigger high spikes in stress levels that may take some time to bring down. Major life events can include accidents, health issues, moving house, changing jobs, getting married, relationship breakdowns, illness, having a baby, infertility, death of loved ones.

Transitions through different stages in life, significant decisions, starts, stops and step-changes in one or multiple dimensions of our life-space may also signal through our bodies, a need for support. In our minds, we may be aware we feel ‘niggled’ or worried—we might rationalise, reason or even tell ourselves off for worrying. Yet, our bodies may hold, tell and express a different story. As a Biodynamic Massage Therapist, I communicate non-verbally with your body, acknowledge what is happening and in doing so, help bring relief and an increased awareness to how you could take care of yourself through these significant times in your life.

Depending on what is going on, Biodynamic Massage Therapy can work extremely effectively on its own or in conjunction with talk therapies.
