What to Expect During a Transforming Touch Session
Transforming Touch is a gentle, yet powerful bodywork technique that aims to ease tension, reduce stress, and support the release of trauma held in the body. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, focusing on creating a safe and nurturing environment.
What happens during a session?
In these sessions, you’ll lie fully clothed on a massage table. I’ll use a gentle, non-invasive touch to connect with your body’s nervous system. The intention is to support your body’s natural ability to reset, release tension, and restore balance.
You may feel sensations of warmth, tingling, or subtle shifts within your body.
This practice doesn’t involve deep tissue manipulation. Instead, it works at a more subtle level, helping your body release stored stress and find a new equilibrium.
What can you expect to feel?
While each person’s experience is different, clients often report feeling lighter, more grounded, and relaxed after a session. Some may experience emotional release or feel a deeper connection to their body.
Sessions may also bring up emotions or memories that are linked to the body’s physical sensations, providing an opportunity for gentle exploration and healing.
Why Transforming Touch?
This practice is particularly helpful if you’ve been feeling disconnected from your body, struggling with chronic stress, or processing trauma. Over time, the cumulative effect of these sessions can support lasting change in how you experience and respond to stress, helping you feel more at ease in your body and life.
Whether you’re seeking to overcome stress, past trauma or to enhance your overall well-being, this work aims to restore a sense of trust and safety within the body.
Allostatic load: the backpack theory
Have you ever felt the weight of stress building up over time? That’s allostatic load – the wear and tear on your body caused by ongoing stress.
When you experience stress, your body gears up to deal with it and releases hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to help you cope. This response is natural and necessary in the short term, but when stress becomes chronic, it can take a toll on your body.
Think of allostatic load like a backpack you carry around. Each stressful experience adds weight to the backpack. Over time, if you keep adding more weight without taking breaks, it becomes harder to carry. Eventually, it can start to strain your body.
Allostatic load affects different parts of your body, like your heart, immune system, metabolism and overall mental health. It can lead to problems like anxiety, depression, fatigue, high blood pressure, weakened immune function, and trouble regulating your weight.
In our sessions, you’ll receive a specific, gentle touch protocol to reduce your allostatic load over time.
