Sole to Soul Therapy

READING THE ROOM

Reading the room as a massage therapist sometimes comes naturally. Energy is sometimes heavy and sad and postures are bent over, there’s sadness that’s noticeable and the silence of a wanting conversation.
The dullness hangs on the draping clothes over the recliner as the soul gets ready to be taken care of.
Most make their massage sessions as a time to center themselves, but they don’t know I notice their subtle queues that internally weighs them down and darkens the room.
I see frowns turn around and get hugs of appreciation and this changes both of our days.
Being a massage therapist it’s all about indulging in a field of a very giving career. I take your weight without you even explaining , and when you leave “ the room “ you leave your problems behind . What is discussed or what is seen stays here. This room is not just mine …it’s also your safe space , your comfort , the walls that make you feel safe and tensions are released.
I carry your weight with my tired hands and an unspoken language translates between us .
Time is never monitored as each stroke takes you deeper into a slumber. Your effortless yawns nod off reassurance ….as your soul drifts away , and this is how I notice …you have entered the right room.
You are seen , heard , taken care of and valued ❤️
Are you ready to enter the room ???

Thing’s that don’t matter to me while being your massage therapist .

Dirty feet and long nails - what matters is you took the step to gift yourself relaxation when you need it.

Body hair - we all have our moments when taking care of ourselves come lasts. Body hair to me is the least of my worries.

Dirty scalp - I’m more concerned about what’s going on in your mind, and how my massage can help.

Chit chattering - This is a sign of nervousness, but I watch Clients voices slowly take a dip after a few minutes.

Odor - most of my clients come between errands or after work. A natural body odor is perfectly natural. We all have an individual scent.

Snoring - This shows me, that your body is completely relaxed and feels safe with me and within the environment. It makes me feel happy that you have detached from your stressors.

Your Emotions - we are only human. I don’t expect a client to have the same emotions every time they come. Each day and every moment may trigger different emotions, sometimes hourly or daily. It’s all part of getting to know you.

Clothes - Most of your clothes come off. Your body weight does not bother me. A lot of Clients come in discussing their body goals. All I see is someone who is honoring taking care of themselves, by listening to when their body needs a massage.

Scars- Your scars, simply mean that you have endured pain. Each scar tells a story. Sometimes clients feel insecure and share what it’s about while others become very shy. Your scars are beautiful and are all part of you.

Sit back , relax and let me take care of every inch of you ❤️ 💆‍♀️

Relaxation starts at the Sole..
We all have a story to tell …
How our day went, who we bumped up,what made us happy or sad and how our hours unfolded.
The base of the feet stores emotions and when massaged our bodies relax.
The word hypnosis is too strong to use but we do go into a world of deep relaxation.
This is where connection is built and felt .
Feeling safe is just the beginning of a good service and a relationship building tool.
I focus on three word’s ; Mood, Music and Magic ..
I set the mood, switch on music and let the magic take place. My main focus within the first few minutes is to calm the breath of a client and show them safety with touch. My second focus is making sure they stay in this state and thirdly they leave wanting this experience again. It goes beyond the Sole where I start a massage and through the soul with the communication of not just self care . The focus shifts in the end with not just fixing aches and pains ..we become connected and as times goes on Sole To Soul Therapy becomes a safe and sacred space of reflection and restoration.
What help’s you feel connected to yourself and how do you nurture your soul ?
A single journey through slowing down your mind, putting your soles up and unwinding the soul begins
When you find the right massage therapist that works for you.

Tone in massage therapy
I am very conscious of my tone when doing a massage. I speak softly to match the environment and to help the client’s mind go into a slumber state.
Tone and scent of room is the introductory to any massage and when put into practice, I have witnessed sudden shifts in mood and relaxation begins .
I don’t only observe my tone in voice but “ tone” in the way I touch and I imagine what I’m trying to say to the client with my hands. It’s almost like saying “ you are safe, and you can gently release .”
I’ve always viewed a massage as a full body hug that speaks to the body, mind and soul.
It’s a universal language that only massage therapist understand. We have a deep love and concentration towards people and their energies.
My goal in every tone , touch and massage is to let you leave better than you came in.
Do you recognize tone when you treat yourself to self -care ?

Massage myths debunked !!!!

Myth #1 Massage is just a luxury.
Self care is Health care, and here’s why ..
Massages ; calm the nervous system,muscles,joint’s and promotes sleep.

Myth #2 Massages should hurt to work..
A massage doesn’t need to be painful to be effective.
Some techniques involve pressure, but you should never be in severe pain.

Myth #3 Massage is only for injury recovery or athletes.
Massage is great for stress relief, calms anxiety,insomnia and migraines.

Myth #4 One massage fixes everything …
It only works best with consistency and a plan by your massage therapist.

Myth #5 You can’t get a massage if you are pregnant or have a healthcare condition. Pre Natal massages actually ease hip and lower back pain and offer relaxation.

Let’s Replace MYTHS with CONFIDENCE!
Book now and let’s chat about a plan that works best for you 🫶🏻 massage 💆‍♀️

Let’s start off by examining the definition of the word “ TIME.”
Time; is the ongoing, irreversible progression of existence from the past through the present and into the future.
When people are curious and asks “ how long is one of your massages?” ..my immediate response is “60-75 minutes.” But the truth is sometimes I go over time.
Reason’s being ; it takes awhile for me to connect with the client, I wait for a calmness to take over the room,
I monitor their breath, I work every muscle slowly and gently with moderate pressure.
I don’t like the massages to feel rushed.
Even ending massages I slow down with gentle touches and strokes, because waking up shouldn’t be sudden.
So to answer the question from those of you that have been asking “ time “ in a massage is measured by connection rather than minutes and seconds.

What is an Intuitive massage ?
This is a deep connection between client and therapist.
Knowing where ailment’s begin without word’s being exchanged and working those areas thoroughly.
It can be a knot in the back , a stiff neck, aching knees or tired hands. I allow my intuition to guide me.
This massage flows naturally and involves essential oil’s, calming music and strokes that feel like longing hug’s.
Intuitive massage help’s release muscle tension in areas that have trapped trauma.
It addresses the connection between emotional stress and physical pain, it restores balance to the nervous system.
Unlike sports massage & deep tissue massage , this type of technique will help you feel uplifted, relaxed and aids in better sleep.
Are you willing to listen to your intuition that this may be the massage for you ????
Intuitive massage begins with touch but end’s with emotion.

Home is where the soul is …
There’s a comfort between my client’s and I that’s undeniable.I genuinely do not like to talk during a massage but sometimes there’s so much to catch up on. I remain professional but when my client’s and I share relatable stories it often feels like home for both of us.
We talk, we laugh, we share joys and sorrows ..and that’s what I like to offer. Working from home always offers a level of hospitality that I love to offer.
I alway’s tell my clients amongst the chitty chatter that my home is also their home. It’s an open space to relax, unwind and have a cup of tea and even familiarize with my cat. Sole to soul Therapy will always be that home away from home ..and home is where is the soul feels peaceful.
I’ve came to the realization recently …that many of us go about our daily lives looking for a destination to just feel settled .
It brings me joy that I’m a chosen space ❤️
love and light always ;
Steph
