Integrative Bodywork
& Massage Therapy

Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy is a holistic form of hands-on bodywork that addresses the whole person. Using a very light and subtle touch, it is a powerful form of bodywork that supports the body's natural capacity to heal and rebalance itself. Craniosacral therapy treats a wide range of conditions and can be an effective treatment to pair with ketamine sessions, often supporting a "coming home," nervous system regulation, deep relaxation, and centered balance in the body-mind.

Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork usually offered on a mat on the floor, fully clothed, and generally without lotion/oil. Shiatsu sessions are gentle, slow and can deeply relax the body, as well as soothe the nervous system. The techniques used include finger pressure, palm compression, stretching, vibration, and joint mobilization. Shiatsu techniques are also integrated into table sessions at Sage.

Myofascial Release is a safe and effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.

Orthopedic Manual Therapy, also known as clinical "Deep Tissue", is a specific approach to working with soft tissue dysfunction, limited range of motion and chronic pain. Assessing your range of motion, tissue tension, and structural pattern, our bodyworker will use neuromuscular techniques, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and long integrative strokes to recalibrate the bodies tension patterns. These sessions can be fairly dynamic and interactive, supporting the bodies joints and soft tissues, and increasing circulation.

Breathwork is a potent practice that utilizes deep, conscious and rhythmic breathing to discharge tension, reduce stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure, increase immune function, and help restore nervous system regulation. Breathwork can be integrated into bodywork sessions, or can be held as a contained session.

We recommend this kind of bodywork for individuals seeking physical support to help integrate other forms of treatment, such as ketamine assisted psychotherapy, psychotherapy, or medicinal journal work. In conjunction with psychotherapy or psychedelic-assisted therapy, this therapeutic approach can help catalyze the mind-body connection and facilitate integration. For example, clients can utilize touch therapy before psychedelic sessions as a form of preparation, during ketamine assisted therapy sessions as a means of support, or after psychedelic work to promote integration. We've found that this type of bodywork can be useful for individuals with clinical depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Psycho-somatic touch therapy can help soften constriction, tension, and trauma held in the body.

Trauma informed bodywork is a specialized approach to bodywork. We recommend this type of treatment for individuals who may have a history of trauma or who are struggling to understand their numbness, physical restrictions, discomfort, disconnection or acute or chronic pain. It is often helpful to work with a psychotherapist in tandem with trauma-informed bodywork.
