Joyous Body: the Wild Flesh

One of my favorite books, Women Who Run with the Wolves, written by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes shares profound wisdom on the archetype of the wild woman, and the instinctual nature of womankind. In the chapter titled, Joyous Body: the Wild Flesh, Dr. Estes says, “The body remembers, the bones, remember, the joints remember, even the little finger remembers. Memory is lodged in pictures and feelings in the cells themselves. Like a sponge filled with water anywhere the flesh is pressed, wrung, even touched lightly, a memory may flow out in a stream.” This excerpt deeply resonates with me and speaks to the magnitude of power and potential of receiving bodywork from an intentional massage therapist such as myself. 

When you consciously choose to view your body as the record keeper of your lived experience, an informational network with myriad communication systems, and the home your soul chose to incarnate into, an ancient sense of reverence begins to come online. 

Reverence that asks you to deepen your breath, drop into the present moment, let your shoulders melt away from your ears, and listen inward. 

When you give yourself the space to relax, soften, and receive true tending to your tissue, fascia, muscles, and joints, your body has the ability to communicate vital information to you. 

When you view your body as sacred, and worthy of true nourishment, immense healing is on the horizon.

This is how I view every client who books a bodywork session with me. From stored emotions, to a clear understanding of what habits are contributing to the discomfort you may be experiencing, there is so much available to you through Integrative Bodywork. 

Now more than ever before, there is a call for us to come back home to our bodies, to tend to ourselves in a deep way, honor the tissue, fascia, muscles, and bones that hold us upright as we journey forward. 

My books are open every Friday and Saturday to support you on your journey of coming back home to your sacred body.
