Massage promotes nervous system regulation and helps you be more attuned to your body and the message it’s working to deliver:

* Touch can help create awareness in the body by identifying areas of stress, tension, and fear.
* Massage helps promote an environment for breathing regulation
* Touch stimulates the vagus nerve and can improve vagal tone, which allows for your brain to switch from “fight or flight” to “rest and recover”
* When your brain and nervous system can rest and recover, a host rewarding benefits can be realized - including restorative rest and recovery, tissue repair, and aid in eliminating metabolic waste and stagnant lymph
* These benefits can extend to help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression

Touch is healing. Touch is important.
