Heal with Grief Massage
There is an old adage that states "Death is hardest on the living"
Our bodies hold memories beyond chronic, repedative actions. We unconciously look for the smells, sounds and familiarity in our day that is hard to let go of wanting when its gone. Couple the stress of processing loss emotionally with the stress of having to manage all the affairs and its not hard to understand why our nervous system gets so stressed when going through a major loss in our lives.
The offering of grief massage is a place where someone can name their need in a way that does not always feel natural in our culture when considering why you would come for massage. While still being tailored to each individuals needs, the service is traditionally focused more on relaxing the nervous system and emotional centers, helping to reduce anxiety in the mind, calm the physical body and promote healthy habits like getting adequate sleep and having a good appetite. Strokes are generally lighter in pressure with energy work and aromatherapy support included within the service.
Grief does not come just with physical loss. I have worked with clients who are experiencing deep grief from the loss of a loved one or pet. I have also held grief sessions for those who are experiencing divorce, job loss or community loss due to a physical move. Your feelings are valid and you should feel safe honoring them.
