Somatic Bodywork & Abdominal Massage
This methodolodogy blends somatic experiencing, energy work, and full body massage, including abdominal. A byproduct of these sessions is that it can support your connection to your body and nervous system and deepen capacity. We can go as deep into the somatic/emotional healing as you’d like, or this can be a more restful bodywork experience. These can be supportive for pain patterns within the body or patterns in your nervous system and emotional responses by helping you to isolate relaxation of regions that are holding and to let energy freely move through the body. My approach is different because I invite you to be an active participant in the process of your own unwinding, the bodywork allows us to get deeper into parts of the body where energy and emotions are stored, and there will be invitations to dive deeper, but it also asks you to be willing to go there and let yourself feel.
Abdominal work stimulates many organs as many of our organs are housed within the abdomen. The jaw help to loosen and open the sacral area, and the heart to integrate into wholeness. This can be helpful for emotional healing, trauma release, nervous system resiliency, jaw tension, rerouting a healthy flow of chi, somatic healing, and digestive health.
In this work with my clients, we've been seeing pain patterns for over a decade unwinding more than they have with other modalities, knots or lumps in the body there for years reducing in size, nervous system resiliency after deep rooted trauma resulting in deepened intimacy and better relationships...
“Kendall is a remarkable practitioner. I have been working with her regularly for a few months now, and she has provided me with a rich, restorative space to safely explore very challenging experiences, memories, and feelings. Through my work with Kendall, I have safely faced lot of my trauma, developed a much better connection to my emotional and spiritual body, and been able to reach new levels of vulnerability and intimacy in my relationships.
She is a gifted and intuitive healer that is working, I believe, in a very important space. While my time with her is always restful and calming, she is facilitating inner work that can be intense and emotional. Before beginning our session, we have a check in about my intentions for the session, what’s happening in my life that moment, and how I am feeling in my body. Once the session begins, she encourages me to share feelings, memories, and reflections as they arise during our sessions. Her energy work leads her to uncover areas of tension, blocks or stored trauma. She balances this with somatic breath work and visualization that helps me build a much stronger awareness of and connection to my body.
I initially sought out a somatic body worker as a complement to more traditional talk therapy, to help access and work through trauma stored in my body. But I have come to find that my sessions with Kendall are an essential part of my inner work.
We are lucky to have Kendall in our community”
