Massage & Bodywork
Reconnecting safely with the body
Trauma often lives in the body long after the events have passed. As a licensed massage therapist, Christine believes that safe, intentional touch can help restore a sense of connection, grounding, and trust within the body.
Massage was one of the first ways she learned to feel present again, to inhabit her body without fear or dissociation.
GENTLE REMINDER
Healing through the body should always feel safe, consensual, and supportive.
Healing looks different for everyone
Practices that supported my healing
Healing is not linear, and there is no single right way to do it. These practices supported me as I moved out of survival mode and began rebuilding my life with intention, compassion, and honesty.
Meditation
A small pause can change a day
Meditation helped Christine quiet the constant noise of anxiety, fear, and self-judgment. It created space, even just a few moments at a time, to breathe, observe, and begin trusting herself again.
Meditation doesn’t have to be perfect or long. Sometimes healing begins with simply sitting still and noticing your breath.
YOU CAN START WITH
One minute. One breath. One pause.
Energy Healing
Restoring balance without forcing words
Trauma can disrupt the way we experience safety, intuition, and connection. Energy healing offered Christine a way to gently restore balance without needing to relive painful experiences verbally.
This practice supported emotional release, grounding, and a deeper sense of internal calm, especially during periods when words felt inaccessible.
Journaling
Telling the truth with compassion
Journaling became a way to tell the truth, first privately, then with courage. Writing allowed Christine to process memories, emotions, and realizations without interruption or judgment.
It wasn’t about grammar or structure. It was about honesty. Over time, journaling helped her see patterns, release shame, and reclaim her voice.
