PELVIC HEALTH SPECIALIST
LICENSED INTEGRATIVE BODYWORKER
Hello and welcome. I’m Makia a licensed bodyworker, massage therapist and somatic practitioner in practice since 2008, specialising in integrative wellness, structural bodywork, hands-on hands-in pelvic care and sexology. (See more about my aphrodisiac apothecary + sexology practice here)
The entirely of my life has been dedicated to the somatic healing arts with many thousands of hours of professional trainings ranging from osteo-neuropathic massage, structural integration, visceral manipulation, craniosacral therapy, manual lymphatic drainage, scar tissue remediation, gyne-visceral pelvic care & integrative holistic pelvic bodywork, abdominal massage, somatic sexology, sexological bodywork, and a myriad of trauma-informed somatic therapies.
My aim is to support your body and nervous system in moving through structural and biomechanical restrictions, releasing acute or chronic pain. Unwinding trauma patterns held in the tissues through a therapeutic somatic approach, conversation, inquiry and emotionally intelligent trauma-informed practices. Together, we develope presence within the body and open to an interior awareness (interoception) so that you can learning how your body can feel and hold more aliveness.
I use a variety of instructive modalities and with my approach being deeply integrative, drawing from a myriad of these trainings to support the unique bio-individuality of each of my clients. No two bodies are exactly the same, so two sessions are alike. I will meet you whereever you are, moment-by-moment.
Gently guiding the body back into alignment and closer towards moving through the world from a more deeply resourced, thriving state of being. Where the nervous system naturally becomes more regulated, whilst the body feels grounded, softened and at ease.
My ethos is that you are the authority when it comes to your own wellbeing. You and your body posess the innate kinesthetic intelligence to know what it is you need. Sometimes we require a little external support in learning to listen and deceipher to the language of our body. To then discern what the body needs and how to communicate those effectively to live a well life. I am here to guide and support you in remembering your most natural states, always listening to and moving at the pace of your body, whilst prioritizing your needs.
If you are curious to learn more or to see how I might be able to support you, you’re welcome to book in a free curiousity call here.
