At Glow By Ive, we believe that wellness is not just about caring for your body but also about nourishing your mind and spirit. One of the most transformative therapies we offer is Somatic Massage, a powerful and deeply restorative practice that taps into the body’s innate ability to heal itself. This holistic approach integrates both the physical and emotional dimensions of wellness, allowing you to experience lasting benefits for both your body and mind.
What is Somatic Massage?
Somatic Massage is a therapeutic technique that focuses on the connection between the body and its emotions. The term “somatic” comes from the Greek word “soma,” meaning body. This massage goes beyond the muscles, targeting the energetic and emotional blockages stored within the body, encouraging relaxation, stress relief, and emotional healing. It uses a blend of gentle touch, deep tissue techniques, and mindful awareness to help release tension and promote balance throughout the entire system.
The Mind-Body Connection
One of the core principles of Somatic Massage is that our physical bodies often store emotional stress. When we go through difficult experiences—whether it's stress, trauma, or unresolved emotions—our bodies can become tense or stiff, leading to chronic pain, tightness, and discomfort. Somatic Massage works by acknowledging this mind-body connection and addressing the emotional root causes that may be manifesting physically.
At Glow By Ive, our experienced therapist Ivette Paredes is trained to understand these subtle energies and emotions that are held in the body. By gently coaxing these areas into releasing their tension, you’ll feel not only a physical relief but also an emotional lightness that comes from letting go of deep-seated stress.
Key Benefits of Somatic Massage
-
Reduces Stress and Anxiety
In today’s fast-paced world, many of us carry stress in our bodies without even realizing it. Somatic Massage helps to reduce cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress, promoting a calm and peaceful state. This process allows the nervous system to reset, leaving you feeling more grounded and centered. -
Relieves Chronic Pain
Whether it’s from injury, poor posture, or emotional trauma, chronic pain can be debilitating. Somatic Massage works to release deep muscle tension and fascia tightness that can contribute to long-term discomfort. By targeting these areas with focused attention, the massage improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and helps to alleviate pain. -
Improves Emotional Health
In addition to physical benefits, Somatic Massage helps process and release pent-up emotions. It creates a safe space for clients to let go of repressed feelings, promoting emotional healing. Many clients report feeling a sense of emotional clarity and empowerment after a session, leaving the table feeling lighter and more balanced. -
Enhances Flexibility and Movement
Regular Somatic Massage helps improve flexibility by releasing tension in the joints and muscles, allowing for greater mobility and ease of movement. Whether you are an athlete or someone who spends long hours at a desk, this type of massage can help keep your body fluid and resilient. -
Boosts Self-Awareness and Mindfulness
Somatic Massage encourages you to tune into your body and become more aware of how it feels in the present moment. This mindfulness helps you reconnect with your body’s needs and sensations, which fosters a deeper sense of self-care and body positivity. -
Promotes Restful Sleep
For many, chronic tension and anxiety disrupt restful sleep. Somatic Massage can help prepare the body for deep, restorative sleep by reducing tension and calming the nervous system. This leads to improved sleep quality, allowing you to wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
