I’m Eli. Welcome to Metta Somatics: transformative bodywork.
The secret to healing is the willingness to be present, to move, and to reorganize ourselves. This secret is revealed everywhere around us all the time: in the turning of the seasons, the growth habits and flowering times of plants, the migrations of other animals, even in the expansion of the universe itself.
What if you related to our own body, mind and spirit with that same wildly adaptive curiosity? Bodywork is one of the most potent means of connecting to what is true for us, because the body never lies. The body remembers everything that has ever happened to us, even everything that has happened to our ancestors. The body is living memory. When we sense what is true (when the mind, body and spirit come together) we harness an incredible power to transform. Healing is simply the transformation of somatic memory (trauma from physical, emotional and/or conceptual experience) into a more integrated, present-moment awareness. It’s about becoming adaptive rather than reactive. It’s an innate wisdom that all of us are blessed with. It’s just a matter of reconnecting to it.
Wherever you find yourself in the journey of wellbeing, I invite you to experience something more than a typical massage, where you can gain deeper insight into your body, mind, and spirit. Transformative bodywork offers you the chance to integrate all these aspects of yourself. It draws on the alchemy of our full humanity. That’s why the results are typically more profound and more enduring.
Everyone has some trauma and each of us have unique patterns of holding that trauma in the body. My job is to invite an adaptive awareness where you have learned resistance, and while I can give an easy, relaxing massage, I usually request you to work with me, and meet me on the inner journey to discover your integration of truth and well being.
