When our mental emotional stress response system gets overloaded, it can interfere with our physiology in its processing of experiences. Body mind connection open ways to adapt, function and thrive.
Our challenges with mental health can come in a variety of forms such as distress, burnout, feeling immobilized by stress patterns, generational trauma, grief and loss. Traumatic stress may adversely impacts attention, concentration, cognitive functions, family and relationships. The therapeutic process requires time and consistent effort to achieve desired results.
Our body holds and expresses experiences and emotions, while traumatic events or unresolved emotional issues can become immobilized inside. When the body can shift internal stress responses, such as purging stress, stagnant emotions and body tension, it mobilize energy that can be redirected towards health, vitality and longevity.

While helping to relax and loosen tense muscles, as well as mental conflicts, it stimulate circulation of unprocessed bodily reactions, reducing their impact on cognitive and emotional experiences.
