This includes not only physical layers such as muscles, tissues, and joints but also layers of feelings, emotions, self-reflection, and mental tension within the body and the body mind.\nA combination of massage techniques, haptonomy, coaching, awareness-based practices, and mindfulness is applied. This invites the client to truly feel and experience what is present in the body, what it is trying to communicate, and what can be learned from it.\nThis process can have an effect on all layers of a person\u2019s life touching both present and past experiences, as well as supporting personal development and inner growth.<br><br><strong>Methodology of integral holistic massage<\/strong><br>The methodology of integral holistic massage consists of a combination of Eastern and Western massage approaches, tailored to the individual during the session. Some techniques are expansive and connecting, others gentle and calming inviting you to turn inward. There are also deeper techniques that work with layers that are less easily accessible, as well as energetic approaches to connect with more subtle levels.\nThese layers may relate to what is present in your life now, but can also stem from experiences in the past.<br><br><strong>Methodology of integral holistic massage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Restoring the balance between body and mind<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Body awareness is increased<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Releasing emotions and allowing blocked energy to flow again<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Activating the body\u2019s self-healing capacity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gaining insight into the underlying causes of tension and complaints<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More in touch with yourself, your body, and your feelings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Letting go of old pain and difficult situations from the past<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>earning to understand yourself and your body on a deeper level<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Being able to stand more firmly in your own power<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Letting the wisdom of the body speak<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Experiencing more space to be yourself<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reflecting on who you are, what lives within you, and what you can let go of<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contributes to awareness and inner growth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Working with clients from a psychosomatic healing model<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of integral holistic massage:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classical massage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Classical massage is one of the foundational techniques used in integral holistic massage. It consists of a wide range of methods that can be applied to the body as a whole or to specific areas. Various hand positions are used with hands, fingers, and thumbs allowing the work to be both encompassing and highly focused.\nThis form of massage helps muscles, tissues, and joints to relax, supports the flow of energy, and encourages reconnection with the body and with your feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dynamic massage &amp; holistic pulsing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynamic massage and holistic pulsing are rhythmic, flowing techniques in which the body is gently moved in a continuous motion. The exploratory nature of these techniques allows mental tension held in the body to be released. This makes it possible to experience, on a deeper level, the signals your body is giving.\nThrough holistic pulsing, you may also gain insight into what is causing blockages in the body\u2019s natural flow and how these blockages can be released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yoga massage &amp; stretches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yoga massage and stretches are a more intensive form of bodywork that help you become aware of where tension is held in your body. Stretching the limbs, as well as areas of the pelvis and back in various ways, allows you to feel and experience where you are holding back and where life energy is not able to flow freely.\nThemes such as where you can let go more, where you can allow more flow, and how you can be more in connection can be explored through this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deep connective tissue massage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Connective tissue massage works with the fascia (myofascia) in the body. Chronic tension within the body\u2013mind is often stored in this connective tissue, which makes this form of massage especially supportive in processing mental and emotional layers.\nThis technique involves working with the knuckles and forearm on areas of tension in the body. It can also help address old patterns of tension and trauma that are still held physically. Releasing pain and allowing yourself to feel what is present within you are central to deep connective tissue massage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Energetic massage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Energetic massage works with the energetic aspect of the body. The touch is gentle and subtle, allowing space for stillness in which you can reconnect with your inner self and reflect on who you truly are.\nThemes such as meaning, self-worth, acceptance, and trust can be explored through this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Book an appointment with me<\/strong><br>call me or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/evelineloerakker.nl\/en\/contact\/\">full in contact form in<\/a>&nbsp;If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
