Phoenix Nest Soft Tissue Therapy is a personalized and whole-person approach to bodywork. Grounded in classic massage and neuromuscular traditions, and integrating specialized elements of myofascial release and craniosacral therapy, this hybrid approach creates a truly bespoke session, giving you a renewing experience to help with your needs of the day and empower your body's natural healing capabilities. Each session is a journey towards your optimal health and a deeper sense of who you are.
Craniosacral Therapy
CST is done fully clothed (but loose & comfy) Using very light pressure, the skull, spine, and tailbone are gently cradled, encouraging a state of hypnagogic relaxation - a natural sense of being between wakefulness and sleep. CST is an excellent adjunct treatment for headache, chronic migraine, sinus problems and anxiety. It is very soothing for people whose bodies are overburdened by the toxic load of Chemotherapy and other major interventions. Through its subtle yet powerful techniques, Craniosacral Therapy supports the body's innate ability to heal and self-regulate, offering a path to improved health and profound relaxation.
Myofascial Release
A MFR session is done without oils or lotions, using gradually deepening, sustained pressure to areas of tension and restriction. Combined with passive stretching, this gently encourages your body’s connective tissue system to release. The goal is to facilitate deep and lasting release of various soft tissue issues, including fascial restrictions, adhesions, and trigger points. By addressing these underlying causes MFRrestores mobility, reduces discomfort, and improves overall soft tissue function.
SomatoEmotional Release
SomatoEmotional Release is a gentle, body-centered approach developed by Dr. John Upledger as part of the craniosacral therapy tradition. It is based on the understanding that the body can hold onto emotional experiences—especially those connected to trauma, illness or major life events. SER allows the nervous system to settle and the body to release held energetic patterns when it is ready. Sometimes this release is physical, sometimes emotional, and sometimes simply a deep sense of ease or clarity.SomatoEmotional Release can be especially supportive for people who have experienced medical trauma, cancer treatment, chronic stress, or significant life transitions.
SER is experienced fully clothed.
Myofascial Rebounding
Myofascial Rebounding is a gentle form of MFR that uses slow, rhythmic, wave-like movements.The light, rocking touch encourages the body to soften and release tension in a way that feels safe and calming, particularly for nervous systems that may be sensitive from treatment or prolonged stress. This work can help ease discomfort, support circulation, and improve overall comfort and body awareness while honoring the body’s current capacity. This approach supports the fascia and fluid systems without force or deep pressure.
Rebounding is experienced fully clothed.
