Hello, and welcome!

ABOUT REST & DIGEST THERAPEUTICS
The name “Rest & Digest Therapeutics” (R&DT) is a nod to the Parasympathetic Nervous System, the PSNS. When the body eases out of fight or flight, freeze or fawn (the automatic, and sometimes unhelpful, response to perceived danger) it enters into rest and digest. This state of relaxation is where the body can more efficiently run life-sustaining processes, and the brain can facilitate better self awareness and decision making.

The hope of R&DT is to intentionally engage the soft tissues of the body in a way that allows for the PSNS to take its rightful turn in the driver’s seat.

R&DT values include Compassionate Care, Community, and Curiosity.

ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED & CONSCIOUS BODYWORK
Trauma informed & conscious bodywork is not a particular technique used on the table, rather it’s a way of approaching client interactions and the treatment room, no matter what service is being offered. “Trauma Informed” means that the practitioner is familiar with the physiology of the body and the impact of trauma on these processes, and “Trauma Conscious” care is the intentional application of this information.

The goal of trauma informed and conscious bodywork is not to heal the client. It’s to foster an environment, to the best of the practitioner’s ability, in which the client can practice reestablishing a sense of self, healthy boundaries, and resilience.
It’s important to note that many individuals who have experienced trauma will require more than a Massage Therapist on their Journey. It’s often of great benefit, and R&DT’s recommendation, that clients have a diverse team of practitioners to partner with, whether that be other holistic service providers, a licensed therapist, psychiatrist, and/or the in-depth support that comes with admission to a treatment center.
