Transforming Touch® is a therapeutic modality that recognizes the vital role of touch in healing anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. This attachment-based approach aims to rebuild a sense of safety, trust, and connection in your nervous system.
Anxiety and depression are natural human coping mechanisms to overwhelming, prolonged stress. If we don’t have the resources or support to process these intense experiences, we develop dysregulated patterns to get by. It may start as hyper-vigilance in an attempt to control our environment and to keep us safe. In time, this leads to exhaustion ~ shutting down and feeling numb become the next best option.
“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness”
~ Peter Levine
Through Transforming Touch®, we offer a safe, caring, and dependable presence for healing. Old coping strategies of anxiety and depression begin to calm as the nervous system finds balance and co-regulation with another. The addictions and unhealthy coping that took the edge off our anxiety and depression can naturally unwind ~ they’re no longer needed.
A Transforming Touch® session involves lying on your back on a treatment table with gentle physical touch. It can also be performed virtually or without contact through the power of intention (Click here to learn more about virtual Transforming Touch®). We support areas of the body such as the adrenal glands, kidneys, brain stem, and ankles. Before each session, we will discuss what you can expect, ensuring clarity, comfort, and consent.
As healing begins, many report a greater capacity for life’s daily stressors. They feel more connected to themselves and others. They feel a deeper sense of presence as the mind calms and the body releases tension and trauma.
Long held patterns of stress begin to melt against the backdrop of a budding ‘okayness’ and sense of regulation.
