We are so fortunate to have such a talented set of S tier healers here! Every one of them has extensive knowledge on how the body works and how things interrelate as a system. This isn't a hotel resort like spa that just tries to relax you, but rather a deeply well studied somatic practice.
I first went to see Aqua a few years ago after an injury. She helped with providing immediate relief and restoring mobility. She took the time to explain what's going on with the muscle fibers and how they interact normally vs with the injury, and showed exercises I can do at home to help with recovery. I healed so much faster in just a few sessions, and the effects were long lasting and made PT more effective.
More recently I've been seeing Blaire to help iron out my body and get it more smoothly operating. I have a lot of tightness built up from years of high stress, anxiety, and overworking, and didn't even realize how bad my body took it. She's great at identifying the root causes of problem areas and working on all the connected areas to get it back to how it should be working. If you want to see the difference, ask her to massage just one side of your body and you will book your next visit immediately.
I've also seen Veronica for the TMJ massage. I could not believe the relief I got in just the first session. I felt like my head was floating and I was 20 lbs lighter. I didn't know my neck could turn and tilt that much without risk of decapitating myself. I now have a lot less headaches and jaw pain. It even made me feel more mentally clear. I love that the TMJ massage is a dedicated offering, because I, and presumably many others, hold a lot of mental tension and physical tightness in those areas, and it is difficult to get relief.
Now let me tell you about Marta. I swear she can read what's happening in the body better than any MRI machine or CT scanner. I see her for craniosacral therapy, which is a divine experience for those that constantly live in their heads or feel disconnected from their body. She could tell what kind of emotional issues I was experiencing without me saying a word about it. The pressure is light but the impact cuts deep. While psychotherapy is critical for mental health, the somatic aspect of it doesn't get talked about much. This is an amazing avenue to heal in that capacity, and I cannot imagine someone being better than Marta.
I can't thank them enough for how instrumental they have been in helping restore my body, mind, and overall wellbeing. If you're still on the fence on whether to give them a try or whether you really neeeeed a massage, it's better to find out now rather than when you know for sure you do. Go ahead, you deserve it 🙃
