Stored emotion release massage
A gentle somatic led approach to helping your fascia, muscles and nervous system release stress, overwhelm and emotional tension held within the body.
Massage and Bodywork
If your body is holding onto stored emotions, stress and anxiety or past traumatic events. This treatment has been made to gently and safely release anything that you have been holding onto. Holding space and time for you, and only you.
Your session is a completely personal and private treatment, combining guided relaxation with massage, myofascial release and focused trigger-point work. We begin slowly, giving you time to arrive, settle and go through your consultation form, (which can be completed before you arrive) before moving onto the manual/hands on treatment.
An individual treatment that begins by exploring what you feel in your body, then uses those insights to shape your massage. Through guided somatic awareness, we create a personal body map of sensations, tension and emotional responses. Together, we choose the areas to focus on before moving into tailored, hands-on massage and bodywork.
We talk about what has brought you here and go through anything I need to ask about from your consultation form, I send this over when you book so you can take your time to fill it out. This saves time in the session and helps me plan your session well and prepare your aftercare pack from the Root to Heal Apothecary.
Together, we agree on the focus of your hands on treatment. You only need to share what feels relevant and comfortable. Your treatment may combine flowing massage, gentle myofascial release and focused trigger-point work, as well as somatic techniques depending on your needs and preferences.
The end of the treatment includes time for you to reflect, journal, sit peacefully and enjoy a hand blended herbal tea. No rush.
The full process explained.
We create your stored emotion body map
We begin with approximately 30 minutes of guided somatic exploration, using body awareness, gentle breathing exersises and conversation to notice what comes up for you.
You might become aware of tension, warmth, heaviness, an emotional response, or areas that simply draw your attention. Together, we create a personal body map of what you notice, without needing to force a feeling or find a particular explanation.
2. Release with Bodywork and Massage
Your body map helps guide the massage and bodywork that follows. We discuss the key areas that stood out and agree on where you would like me to focus. The hands-on treatment may include massage, myofascial release and trigger point techniques, tailored to your comfort, preferences and physical needs.
Following the emotions path - no treatment is the same.
During the hands on treatment, you may notice emotions coming to the surface, warmth, peacefulness or changes in how your body feels. Some people notice tingling, twitching or trembling; others simply feel relaxed. There is no particular response you need to have.
We work with what you notice, checking in and adapting the treatment together. If an area brings up a strong feeling or needs more attention, we can spend longer there, provided the work remains comfortable and appropriate.
The final 15 minutes of your appointment;
Jess will bring you a herbal tea while you rest on the treatment table, giving you a few quiet minutes before you get dressed. Once you’re ready, settle by the fire and enjoy your tea as you go through your body map and session notes together.
There’s time to talk about your experience, ask questions and discuss personalised aftercare. You’ll leave with your aftercare pack to support you at home. The goal is to give you time and attentive care. Rather than cover every area in one appointment we may focus on just a few key areas during your session. If you would like further treatment, we can discuss this afterwards, with no pressure to rebook.
