PROCESSING GRIEF IN “CONSCIOUS” and “UNCONSCIOUS” ENVIRONMENTS
•
By conscious I simply mean an environment where people are actively choosing to be present with themselves and each other. By unconscious I simply mean environments where people are actively choosing not to be present or engage with others. I love all types of festivals. And I am sadly surprised that I found the latter festival to feel so disconnected.
You can choose to take intoxicants of course, but if not to heighten a connection to people then what are you taking it for? To escape? I cannot relate. We all need people to reflect back to us our own human experience. I feel like we all have a responsibility to be present with ourselves. I know that to be difficult. Believe me. But, If we were all honest with who we really are maybe the world wouldn’t feel so lonely and we wouldn’t feel so disconnected. #grief #healingjourney #massage #yoga #storytime taken in Brighton and Hove by @healing_izzy

•PECTORALIS MINOR•
Pec minor is a muscle I love to treat during massage. As we all (for the most part) are hunched over at some point in the day, this is one of the first muscles to contract and develop tension from stooping. Trigger points in pec minor can refer to the outer shoulder delt area and around the front of the chest. It can even refer pain down along the ulna aspect of the arm and into the fourth and fifth finger. Tension in pec minor could possibly affect the ease of the breathe into the ribs. It’s an intense area to connect with but magical. You can press in with fingers or palm along the surface of the shoulder for a softer approach.

• LARGE INTESTINE 4: “UNION VALLEY”•
I used to press this point all the time because I found it comforting before I even knew what it was. It’s found in the meaty webbing between thumb and the first finger. It’s more medial towards the metacarpal joint than you initially think. Sometimes this acupressure point is referred to as “the great eliminator “ which also makes it a contraindication during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. This point also helps with headaches toning the upper body and helps with constipation and the downward flow of energy.

Your body has been keeping score all year. Maybe it’s time to give it an hour of your attention. 🍂

Meet Izzy Briggs, the newest member of our massage team at The Somatic Therapies Centre in Hove. Before training as a massage therapist, Izzy spent years learning how bodies move, through acting, contemporary dance and yoga. She has just completed her Level 6 Advanced Clinical Massage, and she brings all of that into the treatment room.

Here’s what a session with Izzy feels like:
🤍 It starts with a conversation about how you’re feeling, what brought you in, and the everyday things your body has been dealing with, from long days at a desk to stress.
🤍 It’s shaped around you, so the pressure and pace are yours to choose.
🤍 You leave with space to rest and unwind, not just a to-do list for your muscles.

No need to wait until something really hurts. Autumn is a lovely moment to slow down and book that session you keep putting off for “next week”. ✨

👉 Book your first session with in our website:

📍 81 Church Road, Hove, BN3 2BB

WAVES 🌊🌊🌊

I move through the waves of grief
Like the leaves falling from the trees
They remind me it’s okay to let go
Let go of who I once was before this greif and step into a new her
I still don’t know who she is
But I am becoming her, movement by movement,
Dance by dance
Shake by shake
What does it all mean?
I might never know
But I do know this
I want to witness others in their change so I guess I’ll stop gatekeeping mine.

A beautiful in-depth testimonial from a client 🙏🏻
•
As I head towards my final hours of my year long training with Jing I am reflecting on all the people I have connected with through my practice and honestly, I could NOT be more grateful for this past year. Seeing the amazing effects of massage and bodywork on people. And this is just the beginning of my journey. Massage has been my entry level into the beautiful art of witnessing healing. 🔮 #massage #manualtherapy #bodywork #healingjourney #yoga

❤️WOMEN ARE MY MEDICINE❤️
•
“Love (or at least unconditional love) as I understand it now, is never defined. It is forever moving. Forever changing and fluctuating. Pulsating like blood through veins. You can’t grip it in a singular moment because that moment is gone till the next. And each moment is different…

Feeling met and seen by so many women simultaneously in true presence who share my experience of the world, is so powerful. Like little mirrors to each other. When there is no expectation on the other person to meet the other with the same affection or even desire, something magical happens…

All my life I have felt pressure for perfection. To be the one who fixes everything. Demanded of emotion. Contracted. Caged. Yet here I expand. Through a softening of presence and slowness, thus the wild woman is unleashed. She spreads like wild fire, burns bright like the sun and shines like the moon on everything she lays eyes upon. I am learning how to know her…but never tame her. I am her, she is me. 🖤”-

Medicine, I’ll see you soon x

Autumn workshop incoming! The seasons live in our bodies, this workshop is about moving with the slowing, settling energy of Autumn, the energy of coming back into yourself. We’ll consider what you want to nurture as the days get shorter and what you want to shed as the leaves start to fall.

The evening will start with @healing_izzy guiding gentle movement and bodywork to create opening and space, before @ruth__barley guides a journey with Conscious Connected Breath. Breathwork lets us clear and release energy, to find clarity and make space for what we want to call in and cultivate. In the powerful liminal space after the breathwork journey, there will be hands on reiki, assists and gentle massage to ground.

The will be time afterwards for sharing (totally optional), pulling cards, snacks and chats.

Friday 18th September
7-9pm
