Somatic Healing Modality

Blueprint Resonance Verbal Dialoging
This work comes with the understanding that we all enter the world with all the essential qualities we need to be whole, happy, and fully capable beings; we enter with our own blueprint. But sometimes we don’t feel as such. Instead, we may feel unmotivated, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, self-critical and overall incapable.

Challenging events in our past, and even in our ancestry, are held in the body as “imprints”, which are disturbances to our blueprint, or our essential nature of wholeness. In other words, our full capacity to be whole gets disturbed and we become split off from our true essence. As this kind of disturbance, or trauma, is held in the body, it can likewise be healed by bringing a supportive presence to what happens in the body as we start to put words to our challenges and trauma, and then to listen with curiosity and love to the body’s response.

As a practitioner of this healing process, I am honored to be present to and facilitate my clients through a verbal journey which brings them into a deeper state of awareness in their bodies. Through intentional exercises and a grounded and spacious presence, clients of Blueprint Resonance can meet the sensations of challenge in their bodies in a way that allows acceptance. We also spend time expanding sensations of resource which are feel good sensations that help us remember and re-integrate our joy, compassion, will, strength, peace and power. And from here, we can engage in our lives more fully, feeling ever more capable, alive and resonant.

*Note this is typically a hands-off modality though sometimes contact is supportive and implemented.

Massage Therapy

Most sessions are an integration of the following modalities.

Polarity Energy Therapy
Developed by Dr. Randolph Stone who, during his sixty-year medical career, concluded that “energy is the real substance behind the appearance of matter and forms”. Polarity Therapy describes how energy currents and electromagnetic fields create and sustain all physical form. The goal of Polarity Therapy is to facilitate and support the free and natural flow of Life Force and consciousness through the body, mind, and emotions. This is a hands-on therapy that is very relaxing for the nervous system and can awaken spiritual insight.

Myofascial Release
This is a hands-on technique where I apply moderate directional pressure to restricted fascia, to alleviate pain and tension and to restore normal muscle function and range of motion. Fascia has been shown to act like a communication network to all other areas of the body. This modality can feel very relaxing or invigorating depending on the client and each unique application. Clients often say it feels like space is being created in their bodies.

Neuromuscular/Trigger Point Therapy
This is a method of applying pressure to discrete points within the bellies and tendons of muscles that enables the whole muscle to relax or return to a healthy tensional state. The trigger point is characterized by a lump or knot in the deep connective tissue of the muscle. In addition, trigger points can often refer sensation beyond the associated muscle. Referred pain, ropey band, and local characteristics of the trigger point itself are all reduced by manipulation of the point and its related connective tissue.

Reflexology
This foot massage technique is based on the principle that there are reflex points in the feet (and hands) that correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. As stated by the International Institute of Reflexology founder, Dwight Byers, “as a reflexologist works each reflex, it triggers a release of stress and tension in the corresponding area or body zone, as well as an overall relaxation response. The release of tension unblocks nerve impulses and improves blood supply to all parts of the body. Because reflexology works from the inside, it also has a balancing effect on each gland, organ and body region. Clients typically express relief from tension and pain, greater feelings of well-being and increased energy.”

Swedish
A general medium pressure massage that helps promote circulation, move lymph, and just generally feels good. With a lighter and quicker application, Swedish can also help move lactic acid which supports muscle recovery after physical exertion.
