Claire Darling, LMT, (lic#13113) thrives on assisting your body’s own ability to relax and stimulate healing from within.
A typical first treatment begins with a brief postural assessment to aid us in finding possible underlying causes for points of discomfort. Otherwise, one could potentially treat specific spots again and again, merely to see them return a few weeks later.
Using a variety of techniques to play with the muscle tissue, fascia tissues and nervous system habits, Claire helps your body release habitual tension. As we release tension, every process within is allowed to flow more smoothly. (Claire can refer you to other healthcare professionals, but as an LMT, will not diagnose or treat any ailment or illness.)
Simultaneously, we are giving your body an opportunity to access the “rest and digest” mode of being. We are turning off the “stress” mode of the sympathetic nervous system and turning on the parasympathetic nervous system. In today’s fast-paced lives, we all need to spend time regularly nurturing our parasympathetic states of being. Here are some ideas to incorporate into our daily lives with intention and joy on behalf of our Parasympathetic Nervous Systems:
 | Yoga practice, solo or with a class |
| Meditation or breathing practice, solo or with a group |
| Walking in nature |
| Wellness massage |
| Sustained laughter |
