If regular facials + massages just haven’t been cutting it…I have the solution.

Your jaw feels tight or your whole body just feels like it’s carrying a lot… we may need to go deeper.

The body + face can reflect stress, tension and what we’ve been holding onto for decades.

The Somatic OxyGeneo Facial + Massage blends advanced skincare with somatic massage and techniques to help you deeply relax while giving your skin some glow up love too.

Partially covered by your massage benefits.

They think it’s willpower, discipline or that’s there’s something wrong with them.

But these patterns don’t just shape how you show up every day in your life, in your relationships and more. They shape how the body stores stress and over time it can show up in the body as pain, tension, exhaustion and feeling like you can never fully switch off.. Because as you’ve heard over and over… the body always keeps score.

1. Projections From Others
When someone pushed their beliefs, fears, insecurities, or unhealed crap onto you……YOUR subconscious decided it must be true.

2. “Be Good, Be Quiet” Programming
The classic: Don’t rock the boat. Don’t upset anyone. Don’t be “too loud.”

3. Loyalty to Suffering
If your family normalized being on the struggle bus, constant fighting etc…your subconscious sees anything easy as unsafe. I see this a lot when people are chasing chaotic relationships, business chaos or life chaos in general. Being safe = often means boring.

4. Being the Fixer
When you become the therapist/peacemaker/fixer of the family. Now you over function, overgive, and feel guilty when you don’t break yourself trying to always be Mrs fix it.

5. Abandonment Patterns
Not in a dramatic “someone left me lying on the kitchen floor.” This could be as simple as having emotionally unavailable parents or parenting that was never consistent or love always feeling conditional. This can be as simple as being on your phone and not paying attention to your kid (yikes isn’t that most parents these days)

These programs are not your fault.. but they are your opportunity to do the work.

If you’re reading this wondering which of these patterns might be running in the background for you... comment SCAN below and I’ll send you my free Nervous System Scan. It’ll help you start connecting the dots between what’s happening in your life and what your body might be holding onto.

The somatic massage is quickly becoming fan fave around here… and I know why 😉

Because this isn’t the kind of massage where I just work on the tight spots and send you on your merry way.

I slow everything down.

I work with the body, the breath, the nervous system + the places you’ve been quietly holding emotions longer than you realized.

The shoulders dropping, the looser jaw, the full body exhale you haven’t taken in decades!

Some clients leave feeling lighter. Some feel deeply relaxed. Some get emotional. Some sleep like a log after.

Every body responds differently. But the intention is the same…

To give your body, mind + soul a place of safety where it doesn’t have to hold everything together for a while.

And if your body just said “YES PLEASE” while reading this…

The best part of this work isn’t what I get to say about it. It’s what my clients say AFTER they’ve experienced it. Real women. Real results. Real proof that you don’t have to keep struggling with wanting to release years of stress, pain and emotions held in the body, mind + soul.

If you’ve been wondering whether my sessions can actually work for someone like you… start here.

Not sure what to book? No problem just DM me with START and let’s chat about which service is best for you.

That pattern didn’t come from nowhere, but learning to spot it is a game changer in your life and relationships.

So next time it happens, before you jump in and become Mrs Fix it, ask yourself:

“Do I actually need to do anything right now… or can I just give THEM space?”

Then notice what your BODY wants to do.

Explain?
Apologize?
Disappear?
Fix it?
Make them happy?

That reaction is the interesting part.

Because in my Root Sessions I am looking at the big picture:

Where did your body first learn that someone else being unhappy meant YOU had to do something about it?

Because these old protective responses can keep showing up years later as people pleasing, hypervigilance, tension… or the urge to reach for a “firefighter” to make the feeling go away fast.

Food.
Wine.
Overworking.
The gym.
Doom Scrolling.

Anything that helps you not feel what’s going on.

Sometimes the thing you’re trying to change today makes a whole lot more sense when you understand what it was protecting you from in the first place.

The reality is.. You can know you’re safe now… but your body, mind + soul can still be living by imprints it learned 20 or even 40 years ago.

Don’t upset anyone. Keep the peace. Be the strong one. Don’t ask for that. Just deal with it yourself.

But after doing this year in year out for decades becomes so automatic that you don’t even realize you’re doing it.

That’s why nervous system work isn’t JUST deep breathing, meditation or telling yourself to relax.

Sometimes we need to look at the patterns underneath it all.

Why does saying no feel so uncomfortable? Why do you feel responsible when someone else is in a bad mood? Why can you finally sit down… but your body still can’t fully relax? Why does your jaw and shoulders hurt so much when technically, everything is “fine”?

This is a big part of the work I do in my sessions.

We slow things down, listen to what your body has been holding onto, look at the patterns underneath it and give your nervous system a different experience.

Because you don’t have to spend the rest of your life managing the same patterns over and over.

Your body can learn something new.
And sometimes, it just needs a little help getting there.

If you feel like your body has been trying to get your attention lately, drop the word SOMATIC below and I’ll help you figure out which of my sessions would be the best place to start.

You don’t understand it because YOU wouldn’t treat someone that way.

And I don’t know who needs to hear this today…

But maybe you can stop trying to understand them now.

And just be super proud that you’re not like them 😘

I see it in the women I see every day..

I think a lot of us became “independent” without ever really choosing to be. We learned pretty early that it was easier to sort things out ourselves. Don’t ask for too much. Don’t be a pain. Sit there and be quiet… sound familiar?

Then we grew up and everyone seems to think we are amazingly strong, capable women who have their s**t together 😂

And maybe you do. I am not here to tell you who you are (or aren’t for that matter).

But you also might be the woman saying “no it’s ok, I’ll just do it” even when someone offers to help. The one who feels guilty asking for anything. The one who finds it much easier to take care of everyone else than let someone (anyone) take care of her.
And after doing that for years, it becomes so normal that you don’t even see it as a pattern anymore. It’s just “who you are.”

Except sometimes your body is so exhausted of being the one who has to handle and hold everything.

Maybe being independent isn’t the problem.
Maybe believing you HAVE to be is.

This is why I love the work I do with my clients so much.

Because sometimes you don’t need to become stronger. You need to finally feel safe enough to put some of it down and let someone hold YOU for once.

If this hit home, comment REST below and I’ll send you a few nervous system tips to help you start doing exactly that.

😊🥰🙏

The big hugs after.
The tears that fall because they finally it all go.
The deep breaths.
The woman who falls asleep because, for once, she felt safe to surrender.

And sometimes… it’s about the silence.

After almost 18 years of doing this work, these are the moments that mean the most to me.

Because so many women spend their whole lives being the strong ones.

Holding everything together.
Looking after everyone else.
Pushing through. Staying busy.
Keeping it all in.

So when someone feels safe enough here to cry, sleep, hug me or simply just BE for a minute…

That’s the part you don’t get to see.
And honestly, it might just be my favourite part about what I do.
