REST + DIGEST

We all need this.

WHAT TO EXPECT

This treatment is designed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system — the “rest and digest” mode that supports regulation, recovery, and repair.

It begins with focused work on the back, neck, and shoulders to release muscular tension and stimulate the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in calming the nervous system and shifting the body out of a stress state.

Gentle abdominal massage follows, targeting the digestive organs to support motility, reduce bloating, and improve fluid and blood flow through the gut. Because the abdomen contains a large portion of the immune system and a dense network of nerves, this work can positively influence overall function and well-being.

Scalp, hand, and foot massage may be included to further support vagal tone and help the body settle into a state of rest.
