Healing Touch: Exploring Trauma-Informed Massage Therapy in Arlington, Texas

Trauma-Informed Care. Supporting clients that are survivors of abuse. Person hugging their shadow self.

Healing after experiences of emotional and physical abuse can be challenging, and you deserve a space where you feel truly safe, respected, and supported. I am here to support you, respecting your boundaries while allowing you to move at your own pace. Every session is guided by your consent and comfort, focused entirely on your healing journey.

I offer a blend of therapeutic massage, craniosacral therapy, lymphatic drainage, and multidimensional energy work to help release physical tension, calm the nervous system, and let go of stress and emotions held in the body. Each session is customized to meet your individual needs, with the goal of helping you feel supported, empowered, and more connected to your body.

My purpose is to create a nurturing and compassionate space where you can begin to reconnect with yourself and experience emotional relief. Whether you are healing from trauma, managing chronic pain, or navigating anxiety, I am here to support you with empathy, understanding, and respect for your journey.

Here are more details on the benefits of massage for you:

• Rebuild Body Awareness: Gentle, purposeful touch aids survivors in reconnecting with their bodies, reestablishing a sense of control and comfort.

• Reduce Stress and Anxiety: Massage activates the body’s natural relaxation response, lowering stress hormone levels and calming the nervous system.

• Release Muscle Tension: Chronic tension and pain are common after trauma.

  Methods such as therapeutic massage, myofascial release, Craniosacral Therapy and lymphatic drainage effectively alleviate physical discomfort in a safe manner.

• Support Emotional Healing: Massage provides a non-verbal outlet for processing emotions stored in the body, complementing counseling or therapy.

• Promote Restful Sleep: The relaxation gained from massage can enhance sleep quality and may improve overall emotional regulation.

  
  

Trauma-Informed Approach

I prioritize your safety, comfort, and consent in every session:

• You are in control of all aspects of your session.

• Clear, gentle communication ensures you feel safe and respected.

• Touch is customized to your comfort level and boundaries.

• Consistent and predictable sessions aid in restoring trust in both your body and physical touch.

I offer a caring and supportive setting where survivors can regain a sense of safety, empowerment, and healing.

Healing is a process that requires time, and you don't need to go through it by yourself. My aim is to assist you in feeling secure, complete, and more at ease within your body.

With care and support,
