Bodywork sessions

•Myofascial energetic release•

Myofascial Energetic Release (M.E.R.) is an innovative therapy created by Satyarthi Peloquin that seamlessly blends various modalities to address the complete well-being of an individual. This technique incorporates a unique combination of soft and deep tissue manipulations, joint releases, energy work, intentional breathing, myofascial muscle unwinding, and heightened body awareness.

Treating the person holistically, M.E.R. delves into the interconnected realms of body, mind, emotions, and past traumas. During a session, practitioners create a safe space for clients to explore and process any emerging emotions, recognizing that emotional and physical well-being are intricately linked.

What sets M.E.R. apart is the active involvement of the client in the healing process. Through conscious and connective breathing, purposeful movements, and allowing the body to unwind, clients proactively participate in the session. The incorporation of intentional movements and even spontaneous shakings during the session aids in releasing deep-seated holding patterns within the body.

This collaborative approach encourages clients to engage in their own healing journey, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-awareness. As the myofascial and energetic components harmonize, clients often experience a profound release of tension, increased mobility, and a heightened sense of overall well-being. Myofascial Energetic Release emerges as not merely a massage technique but a transformative experience that nurtures the holistic integration of body, mind, and spirit.

•Deep Tissue•

Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that targets the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues, aiming to release chronic tension and alleviate pain. Through deliberate, slow strokes and deep finger pressure, skilled massage therapists reach beyond the superficial layers, addressing knots and tightness in the fascia and muscles. This method focuses on specific areas of discomfort, employing intense pressure to break down adhesions and restore normal movement. Unlike traditional relaxation massages, deep tissue massage requires active communication between the client and therapist to ensure the right amount of pressure is applied.

This form of massage is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from chronic pain, muscle tension, and injury-related discomfort. It promotes improved blood circulation, reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing. The intensity of deep tissue massage may cause some discomfort during the session, but the long-term benefits often outweigh the temporary sensations. It enhances flexibility, aids in correcting postural issues, and helps in overall stress reduction.

Clients undergoing deep tissue massage may experience a sense of revitalization and heightened bodily awareness. The therapy is tailored to individual needs, considering factors such as health history, muscle condition, and pain tolerance. It is essential to communicate openly with the therapist to ensure a personalized and effective session. Regular deep tissue massages can contribute to increased mobility, reduced muscle stiffness, and an overall sense of well-being, making it a valuable modality for those seeking therapeutic relief and profound relaxation.
