Interoception and Massage Therapy

Interoception - our ability to sense internal bodily signals - plays a key role in how we experience stress, pain, and emotion. Chronic pain, trauma, and stress can disrupt interoception. Massage therapy can help cultivate greater interoceptive awareness, promoting a sense of safety and embodiment.

Massage therapy: Can it help anxiety and depression?

Anxiety and depression have become increasingly common. While mental health challenges can feel overwhelming, there’s good news: research shows that massage therapy can play a meaningful role in reducing anxiety and depression measures and supporting emotional well-being.

What is trauma-informed massage therapy?

Trauma-informed massage therapy isn’t a technique - it’s an approach rooted in four principles: trauma awareness, safety and trust, collaborative choice, and strength-based skill-building. While trauma-informed RMTs don’t treat trauma directly, they bring extra communication skills to help you feel more at ease.
