pelvic care
The below expressions Medisoma has experienced success with in practice and / or instructs at accredited institutions. We recognize and honor each human being and situation is unique to itself.
-
The body and mind incur distinct healing phases in response to stress.
Our attunement to these phases; both physiologically and psychologically can positively impact recovery, physically and psyscho-emotionally.
Inviting touch, movement and dialogue, we may influence bracing or altered movement patterns for more optimal range and function, or effect daily relationships such as improved sleep, energy, focus, social engagement & sense of identity.
Trauma-attuned approaches for physical health and well-being can facilitate a rich, and sustainable recovery. -
The effects of stress and trauma on the biological processes of both body and mind can negatively digestion, sleep or energy in less than desirable ways.
Resources and nourishment that assist the regulation of the nervous system allows subtle, yet profound changes in sleep quality and improved capacity for genuine rest & recovery. Regulation itself may positively support digestive challenges, yet also can facilitate greater range for behavioral changes around nutrition. Enhancing the capacity for a system to reap true restoration and assimilation can promote clarity and energy.
Trauma-attuned work in regard to digestive, sleep or energy disruptions may coincide with meditation, nutrition, breath and sound healing supports. -
Humans can understand and relate on a large range of emotions, and in this way, they are a universal language. They are simultaneously unique, messengers to the experiencee, communicating significance.
Learning the language of our emotions, or lack there of, can be incredibly powerful gift, supporting a life of healing, expansion and expression. While emotions desire to be experienced, they can at times be overwhelming or awfully incognito.
Trauma-attuned support of emotions allows us to befriend our experiences and our bodies to allow these messengers to move through us in thresholds we can be present to. It can serve as a road map to one’s self and their best life, the road over destination. -
Mental health and emotional health are invariably buddies. Being met by compassion and the space to experience one’s thought processes without judgement is a birthright.
Genuine support to move through mental experiences that may affect relationships such as sleep, family, work, social groups can provide a space of relief and comfort.
Trauma-attuned mental health is human-to-human. Providing self-regulation and co-regulation skills to navigate your personal landscape with more ease. -
The root of dys - means to want. The body expresses via discomfort and dysfunction in aim for our attention.
