Our Healing Force Is Within

I am a Trauma-Informed RMT with over 25 years of experience working one-on-one and in group settings.

My work is rooted in a foundational understanding of the body and nervous system, how emotions are stored and processed in the body, and how working with all facets of our being (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual) contribute to overall health and wellbeing. My approach is holistic and comprehensive.​

The physical and energetic healing modalities I work with are informed by years of study, training, and lived experience, and are applied in a way that honours each client’s unique capacity and timing. See my credentials below ...

My approach is both practical and subtle. Sometimes the journey for clients is re-acquainting oneself with the body - by reconnecting with sensation and inner stability. Other times processing emotions trapped in the body is what is needed. Safety comes first - allowing change to emerge organically from the body itself. A deeper connection to Self is always the underlying goal.​

Somatic (and Spiritual) work is slow and evolves over time. It does not provide quick fixes. Putting in the time with consistency achieves the greatest results ... I recommend 8-10 weekly or bi-monthly sessions to start.

My work is grounded in the belief that healing is not something we force, but something we allow. I hold an orientation that a greater intelligence — whether understood as nature, spirit, or a Higher Power — is always available to support healing when the body is met with respect, presence, and care.

I facilitate group spaces also – Somatic Experiencing Skills Support and Breathwork.

Session Information

Massage Therapy Session

Bodywork That Makes A Difference ...

​Over my 25 year span of working with many different people, I have learned that to create lasting change in the experience of the physical body, there needs to a multi-layered approach.​

 

This is what I offer in my sessions. It comes from many years of hands on therapy and my studies.

While my sessions compliment those in Psychotherapy, my work can access what traditional Psychotherapy cannot - the deeper templates of stress and trauma held in the body. 

My work offers a combination of Massage, Craniosacral, Energy Work and Somatic Experiencing. Together we will find the right fit and pace for you.

*I also offer a Somatic Experiencing online support group, for those wanting to be supported, learn more and develop better self-regulation. Email me at jodie.lindley@gmail.com.
