Scar Tissue Massage and Care
Trauma-informed. Heart-centered. Body awareness approaches.
Scars are a natural part of living in and being in our bodies, and our bodies are incredibly wise in their ability to mend our emotional and physical wounds.
Scars are often caused by surgeries, injuries, infections, and trauma to the body. Scars can travel beyond the point of original wounding, creating adhesions with muscles and tendons, tugging on the body, affecting mobility, access to sensation, and pleasure. They may also cause physical and emotional discomfort. These sessions provide the benefits of increased mobility, reduced discomfort, and support with emotional healing.
In scar tissue remediation sessions, I use gentle and localized massage techniques with castor oil to support the unwinding and softening of your scars and the places they adhere. In addition, we work with simple but profound boundary and consent practices, and somatic exercises to support the body in feeling safe and welcome to receive scar tissue work. This process enhances mobility and opens up a brave space for exploring stories (both challenging or celebratory), sensations, and emotions that may emerge around the circumstances under which you acquired your scar.
My specialized focus, from my training as a somatic sex educator and bodyworker of 10 years, includes surgical scars, gender-affirming scars, and pelvic scars from infections, birthing injuries, and trauma. I'm here to offer a compassionate and supportive space for you to develop or deepen a loving relationship with your scars and reclaim your connection with your body.
If you're interested in booking a scar tissue session for yourself or with a partner, friend, or loved one, please don't hesitate to reach out and book a consultation call. I would love to support you!
