Over the years, I’ve occasionally received calls from people who are in the middle of a mental health crisis and hoping to get an emergency massage appointment. I truly understand the desire for relief in those moments. I’m a helper by nature, and I care deeply about the wellbeing of the people who reach out to me.

One of the most common things I talk about with clients is how the body communicates. During a massage session, especially in modalities such as craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, BodyTalk-informed work, or energy-based techniques, you may notice sensations or responses that feel unfamiliar at first. I want to reassure you that these experiences are normal, natural, and not strange or out of the ordinary.

Panic attacks can be overwhelming and significantly disrupt your life in more ways than just one.They often appear suddenly and can cause intense physical sensations such as a racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, and chest tightness. Many people confuse panic attacks with heart issues or other medical emergencies, which adds to the fear.
