| Our Philosophy: Body Work for the Soul |
 As
human beings, we all have a deep desire for purpose and meaning in
life. We seek intimate connection with some face of Spirit and with
one another. Sometimes we fulfill these desires imperfectly, while
other times we ignore the desire, lose the sense of connection, or
it may feel as if it has been taken from our grasp. One phrase we
have
found useful to describe this search is 'soulful struggle.' Body work
for the soul describes our approach to being present with you through
this struggle toward peace, toward joy or in whatever direction you
feel you need to go.Sometimes we become aware of these struggles simply in moving through life's stages. In young adulthood, we search for identity and begin to create our careers and families. In mid-life, we experience shifting  relationships
and belief issues. In later years, we may develop health challenges
and introspective wisdom. These struggles may also be brought to awareness
by life crises such as illness, abuse, addiction, job loss or the
death of a loved one. We are committed to the belief that we all wrestle
with these concerns on physical as well as emotional and spiritual
levels. As we experience this wrestling, we carry its effects in our
tissues as tightness, tension, pain, heightened emotion, or even simply
by holding ourselves too stiffly. We may also be unconscious of what
our bodies are telling us. Massage, in its various forms, helps the  body
and soul move in the direction of release, resolution, and vitality.
This movement happens by bringing unconscious symptoms into our awareness,
by fostering the self-healing abilities of our bodies, and by encouraging
the capacities we all have for health, wholeness, and well being.
This remains true whether you are in the middle of soulful struggle
or you experience balance, joy or peace in your life. This also remains
true whether your body feels exhausted, in pain, or whether you are
in optimum health. It is our deepest intention to enrich your health
in body and soul through the power of human touch. |
