Life moves fast, and it's easy to get swept up in the demands of work, family, and daily responsibilities. October is Emotional Wellness Month, a time to become more aware of our feelings, understand our triggers, and learn new ways to navigate life's challenges with resilience.
At In Touch Well-Being, we believe the path to emotional wellness starts with a deep connection to your own body. Our massage and energy treatments are designed to help you reconnect, release what no longer serves you, and create a space for peace and healing. The connection between therapeutic touch and mental health is well-researched. A 2011 study published in the journal Psychological Bulletin reviewed over 37 studies and found that massage therapy was significantly effective in reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Massage and Reiki for Emotional Regulation:
Breaks the Stress Cycle: Chronic stress can lead to emotional exhaustion and burnout. Both massage and Reiki work to interrupt the "fight or flight" response, calming the nervous system and helping to restore a sense of balance.
Releases Stored Emotions: Our bodies hold onto trauma and stress, manifesting as muscle knots and tension. Therapeutic touch can help release these physical blockages, which in turn can lead to emotional release and a feeling of serenity.
Promotes Mindfulness: Stepping onto the massage table or into a Reiki session is an act of presence. It's a dedicated time to turn inward, listen to your body, and practice being fully in the moment in a healing way.
Book a session with us and give yourself the space to breathe, release, and reconnect and commit to your total well-being.
