Soft Pain
With my experience as a Massage Therapist and Bodyworker for over 15 years, I have come to a place of understanding soft pain from a clearer perspective. Many people have visited my office because they are uncomfortable in their bodies, in either chronic or acute pain, or to better enhance performance of their postural movement. My hope is to help them to relieve pain and to find long-term optimal functionality.
Release your pain through self care and massage.
Pain can stop people from doing the things they want. One of the ways this may happen is that when something hurts, we can tend to feel or or to try and avoid it. If the pain is the cause of an accident or something extreme, it makes sense to rest, put some ice on the area of inflammation and take good care. Often people will tend to continue their lives which is good as movement helps the lymph system to activate. However, if the posture changes as a result of compensating around the area of pain, imbalance and unhealthy patterns can take the place and change the relationship of the body to gravity and alignment. Eventually, these pulls on the fascia and imbalances in the muscles structure may bring about soreness or pain. Sometimes it creeps up on a person until one day when they move a certain way and everything gets shifted out of place and it really hurts.
How do avoid most extreme pain? Soft pain in our bodies is a very important signal that something is not right. We are fortunate to have the gentle reminder of pain because it let’s us know that we need to make some new choices to bring back better postural alignment or/and to feel more deeply into our bodies. For people who actually listen to the quiet signs of their bodies , and decide to take corrective measures proactively, often re-injury can be deflected. Measures may include: exercise, eating right, bodywork, and even emotional psychotherapy. Often when people let out a good cry or feel deeply into their pain on any level, relief is found. For example, have you ever worked out and pushed yourself before it became too much? Or have you received a deep massage and the sore muscles feel good although it hurts? The body is an interesting vehicle in which we live because the state of its health depends largely on how we treat ourselves.
When I work with clients with deep pain issues, I let them know right away that our work may take some time. Most likely, the pain patterns took a while to develop and it may take a 10 series of Structural Integration to bring back the line foundation inherent in the body to consciousness. Some clients come in with a broken heart, and working through the images and the emotions through energy healing may unravel the unhealthy patterns that are keeping a person stuck in their relationships. The modality of Craniosacral Therapy allows for listening to the Craniosacral System and following the body’s intelligence to bring more strength and balance to the body. A good therapist will tell you upfront that most of these issues can’t dissolve in one session, although that can happen. But as the layers dissipate their tension, the soft pain transforms into joy and more inner peace.
My recommendation as Professional Massage Therapist is that when pain becomes present, pay attention and address it as soon as possible. If you tend to avoid your pain, or just continue life by ignoring it, most likely the imbalance will show up again in your life. At that time, it may hurt much more. All of us have intelligent body signals that tell us what needs to be done to feel healthy. If you have a constant stomach ache, try changing your diet, if you are working out too hard or injuring yourself, lighten up. Listen and follow your own wisdom. For the type of people who tend to not take the time to care for Self, go treat yourself to massages, personal trainers, and/or nutrition sessions. We all could use a little help some of the time.
Most importantly, I have seen over and over that people who tend to address their soft pain straight on mostly recover quicker and easier. People who care for themselves seem to be happier and in more peace. Pain doesn’t have to be debilitating. Pain can often be released when our resistance to good health is dropped and we focus on Self-Care and Self-Awareness. Pay attention to your body as it is your transportation and mode of experiencing your life. We each deserve to live a high quality of life. For more information of healing and bodywork, contact;

TTouch® Massage and Bodywork for your Dogs, Cats and Birds
Last night I just arrived home from my first training class in Tellington TTouch®. It was a wonderful experience and I am very grateful for the learning that I found there. Being a Massage Therapist and Bodyworker for human beings, I had decided to expand into working with animals because I have continually realized in a deeper way the integral role animals play in our daily lives. With the mutual evolving relationship we have with dogs, cats and other caring pets, these beautiful creatures have integrated themselves into so many homes and hearts that many have become a valued member of many families. The birth of puppies or a new colt can awakening the joy of life in a manner like no other, except with our own children. On a daily basis, we learn so much from our pets because they tend to hold such a strong loyalty and love for us when we care for them well. Personally, I find that when I don’t listen to the wisdom voice in my own head, my dog Tanner often reminds me in a very sensory and kind way how to live in a more centered and grounded heart connection. And when our pets begin their dying process, they teach us about grace and the places where we grieve inside and find it difficult to let go and move forward. What we learn from pets touches many of the qualities that we may or may not find in our relationship with other humans. What I mean by this is that when the world may seem harsh or difficult at times, our dogs often wag their tails and stay present with us in the moment with unconditional love and acceptance. They help us to remain grounded, strong, and clear with more compassion and intelligence. They are wonderful teachers in that they do not judge us or criticize us, but rather listen and be with us from a place separate than the thinking mind. It is easier to be in the presence of empty space and care than thinking that “puts down” or “is in conflict”. In the past few years, I have found myself wandering to a dog, or a horse, wanting to place my hands in a certain place, to help be in service or to reciprocate the great learning we have to offer each other. I have studied with the Upledger Institute to work with Dolphins in a healing and reciprocal approach. A few months ago, I found myself exploring working at a Big Cat Sanctuary the benefits of Craniosacral Therapy in an environment where lions, tigers and bears are being rescued. I have traveled to Africa and one of my biggest joys in life was doing Safari. All this has been changing the focus of my practice, and I have found some clients asking me to work energetically or to do aromatherapy with their pets. Our pets run into behavior or health issues often based on their environment and unhealthy situations they encounter. When they are afraid, they often react more than respond from their natural organic sense of life. Tellington TTouch® has now given me an opportunity to view the interconnection between us and our animal friends in a more profound and expansive view. My hope is to support the unwinding of tension and fear between pets and their human friends.
What is Tellington TTouch®?
- Massage and Bodywork for Animals
From my perspective Tellington TTouch® is a form of bodywork, animal dialogue and heart connection that helps influence a dog’s behavior, and brings a sense of calm where there once was anxiety or fear. It allows people to alleviate tensions and pain in the body as well as bring focus to jobs that need to be done. Once the cellular movement is shifted through TTouch® and care, more functionality and a sense of wellbeing can often be seen.
I am still a novice at this particular work as it takes 4-6 classes before one may go out and do TTouch as a business. However, I have worked with some pets and am happy to bring them into my already existing practice at the farm. I have done this before the training, and am happy to provide an extra 15 minutes at no cost to develop to work with you and your animal friends.
Some of the things I will be setting up on our property is a labyrinth to promote structure, bandage wrapping to calm the nerves, and basic TTouch® strokes. I am glad to share what I have learned so that we can better the lives of us and are pets. When One relationship changes in this way, I believe it affects the whole. We can start with ourselves and let that make the difference.
Working with our pets can reveal the way that we view life with more clarity. It can help us to release old patterns that no longer serve us and to reconnect with our heart space more openly. It is in waking up to our own essence and wellness that we find truth and openness in our mind, body & spirit connection.
