The Mind/Body Connection - a.k.a. Psychoneuroimmunology - is quite fascinating! Thoughts,
feelings, and emotions play a HUGE part in our overall well-being. Indeed, positive emotions boost Immune System functioning
and overall health. The
body follows what is in the heart and mind. The reverse is equally powerful. Memories retained
in our tissues (not just the brain) affect our emotional experiences. The thinking brain follows the feeling and sensory brains: When the body is feeling better, the brain will follow. This is where the tools of my trade and my years of experience
enter.

Stress, Anxiety & Depression is a running class theme, for good reason. Bodywork
techniques help! (I’ve listed a few takeaways
from: Stress Reduction Through Bodywork, Anxiety & Massage, and Relief Within Reach: Massage and Stress, etc. here.)
Psychoneuroimmunology
is the science that investigates the Mind/Body/Immune System Connection. Memories live throughout our body,
soft tissue, and immune system. This means, when we address the physical body, and
bring it closer to balance and well-being, the mind will follow. More information on this can be found here > Our Body Stores Memories
Having a foundational understanding of how negative experiences impact
the body - AND how the body stores information that can, in turn, impact our mental and emotional health - offers a roadmap
for bodyworker that can effectively reduce stress and anxiety.
