Bodywork for pain management

Energywork for the spirit

Hypnotic Journeys for deep healing

“Your body is your unconscious mind.”

Dr. Joe Dispenza

People often visit the practice for pain relief from symptoms, specific conditions, and or for healing from injury- be it physical or emotional. These therapeutic sessions combine all of the benefits of a massage while also incorporating manual therapy techniques. Techniques may include joint mobilization, stretching, the use of various bodywork ‘tools’, and ancient Eastern to modern Western modalities. These therapeutic sessions include a consult to collaborate to better manage relationships with pain, thus increasing ease.

Sometimes folks visit the practice to journey inward and experience the deepest aspects of themselves. Whether they need to shift energy, let go of a situation, grieve, or feel their feelings completely. Energywork sessions are nurturing for the spirit and can be combined with massage or divination, with or without touch, depending on the individual’s preference. Most often, acupressure, Reiki, and massage are combined to allow for a meditative experience both for the practitioner and the client. In these sessions, clients frequently report gleaning insights about finding direction, conjuring up creative ideas, connecting with their inner child, and manifesting future dreams.

Another modality offered at Body Drift is hypnosis. It takes two forms: as hypnotic massage (or hypnomassage) and hypnotherapy (a non-touch approach). Hypnosis provides a safe way to navigate change of behaviors, beliefs, and/or perspectives on a subconscious level – providing longer-lasting results and, over time, rewiring outdated programs of the mind. Online hypnotherapy sessions are available for clients at a distance and all over the world.
