Somatic Therapy and Chronic Illness

Somatic Therapy explores how the body expresses and holds onto trauma by utilizing integrative techiques emphasizing the mind-body connection. Trauma deeply affects not only our thoughts and feelings, but also the wellbeing of our body.

Physical symptoms, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors is the nervous systems way of communicating. Illness is often the outcome of a dysregulated nervous system.

When the nervous system becomes more regulated, symptoms often reduce and even resolve.

The first step is acknowledging we are all living organisms with the capacity of self-healing!

Massage Therapy

Massage plays a crucial role in promoting physical and mental well-being. Trauma is often stored within our muscles and fascia which can signal to physical pain and tension. With the help of massage techniques such as myofacial release, neuromuscular therapy and assisted stretching, we are able to address these restrictions and release stored trauma.

Reiki

Einstein said, “Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” Reiki is a natural form of energy healing and has been used spiritually, to heal mentally, as well as physically. Reiki is a unique tool that aids you to align to a higher vibration of healing, ultimately creating a feeling of warmth and relaxation.

What our clients say

Going to Kelsy's Reiki session was so comforting and I loved her energy!... I feel like I just had a reset and I'm able to continue forward feeling lighter and well informed. If you're wanting to go deeper into your spiritual journey definitely do a reiki session with Kelsy.

Oyinlola

Kelsy was amazing! She was very gentle and accommodating to my specific needs. I have recurring neck pain and I felt so much better after my first visit. I go every 2 weeks now and I love it!

Faye Hansley

First time getting a massage with Kelsy and I will be back. She helped relieve the pain in my back. I felt so much better when I left. She is amazing.

Rebecca Blakely

Kelsy is truly an angel! I stumbled upon her and this hidden gem of a place and instantly knew I had found my new home. It was exactly what I needed; relaxing, calming, and beyond my expectations. Kelsy is incredibly kind, accommodating, and clearly devoted to her craft and providing exceptional service. As someone who suffers from migraines and tension in my face and upper body, I was particularly grateful for the variety of aromatherapy options available. I chose peppermint, which not only complemented her massage but also aided in my healing process. I am eagerly looking forward to returning soon!
