rest & unwind in ease
Rest is necessary for restoration of cellular health and whole-person wellbeing.
Despite the myriad of claims we may see popularized on the benefits of massage therapy; the only conclusive research is massages’ ability to improve mental health.
This is due to its ability to stimulate our parasympathetic, or “rest and digest,” system.
This down-regulation allows our mindbody to unwind in a slow, nurturing and affirming way.
