Therapeutic Bodywork

Experience somatic therapy to alleviate stress, soften muscles, enhance mobility, and promote holistic health and wellness.

What is the Trager Approach?

It's not just bodywork; it’s an integrative somatic experience designed to give your body and mind a fresh start. Using gentle touch, movement, and expert guidance, we tap into the power of neuroplasticity to invite lasting changes that help you feel lighter and more free.

Say Goodbye to Tension

Life can be tough on our bodies—stress, pain, injury, and repetitive motions can leave us feeling stiff and restricted. The Trager Approach helps release those holding habits, allowing you to breathe easier and move freely again. Imagine stepping out of your session feeling rejuvenated!

Relaxation Like Never Before

Our unique touch and movement techniques are designed to deeply relax you. You'll find that calmness washes over you as the gentle touch and harmonic techniques, like rocking, help soften restrictions in your body. This isn't just about feeling good; it's about paving the way for more easeful movement in your everyday life. Your nervous system will learn through your sensory experience how to feel lighter, freer, and better.

Transform Your Mobility

No one wants to live with pain or stiffness. With Trager sessions, flexibility and mobility naturally emerge as tensions melt away. You’ll learn simple self-care movement practices that reinforce your progress—so you can keep enjoying those newfound benefits long after the session ends.

Comfortable to Receive

Unlike other forms of bodywork, the Trager Approach does not use oils or lotions. Instead, you remain lightly clothed, allowing for unrestricted movement and a supportive, nurturing touch that encourages your nervous system to relax and soften. Get ready to experience bodywork like never before!

Every shimmer of tissue is sending a message to the unconscious mind in the form of a positive feeling experience. It is the accumulation of these positive patterns that can offset the negative patterns... Nothing can change until the old pattern is broken.

Transform Your Well-Being with Bodywork

Somatic work embodies the profound connection between the mind and body. By integrating physical touch and mindful awareness, this holistic approach facilitates healing and self-discovery. Clients often experience a deep sense of relaxation and relief as tensions held in the body are released, leading to improved mental clarity and emotional balance.

Through various techniques, practitioners guide individuals to reconnect with their physical sensations, fostering a greater understanding of their own bodies. This process not only alleviates physical discomfort but also promotes psychological well-being, creating an overall enhancement in quality of life. As a result, somatic bodywork serves as a powerful tool for personal transformation, where both the physical and emotional aspects of the self are nurtured and harmonized.

"My work with Barrie also brought awareness to emotional patterns that contribute to body tension and how to work with those patterns in the body to change the emotional state and release tension."

”My work with Barrie has focused on my current neck/arm and lower back pain. Her method teaches me to understand my body and how to add ease to my movement which relieves pain. Barrie has not only relieved my pain during and immediately after the sessions, but for days after and with less intensity each week. The most meaningful part of the work, so far, is the way Barrie introduces new techniques, in small bites, so I can practice at home and make them a part of my overall self-care. In just three sessions I'm seeing amazing results and plan to continue indefinitely!”
