Accessibility

Because every person deserves access to therapeutic touch, Touch Ceremony is committed to accessibility. We recognize that economic as well as cultural barriers exist to prohibit certain communities from healthcare and wellness services. To counter this inequity, sliding-scale payment is available to all clients whose sessions take place at my Lockhart home office

Additionally, pay-what-you-can pricing is an option offered to all Black and or Indigenous clients.

How touch nourishes us

Benefits of massage therapy

Touch feeds us the world. It’s the sense that (in)forms us of everything. Massage therapy specifically has many physiological as well as psychological benefits. Below is a short list of how receiving massage therapy contributes to greater health and a heightened sense of well-being.

  • Increased blood flow to the skin and to muscular tissue

  • Decreased heart rate, reduction of blood pressure, and decreased heart rate variation

  • Improved lymphatic drainage

  • Reduced headaches, decreased chronic pain

  • Increased muscle relaxation and decreased muscle fatigue

  • Decreased exercise-related delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)

  • Decreased tension within muscle-tendon connections

  • Increased range of motion around joints

  • Increased fibroblast activity, leading to improved healing

  • Reduced scar tissue formation, increased scar tissue strength

  • Increased serotonin and dopamine levels

  • Improved sleep

  • Decreased stress, depression, and anxiety

  • Decreased fatigue

  • Improved cognitive and memory functioning

  • Activated parasympathetic nervous system

  • Increased sense of mind-body connection

Massage therapy benefits all of us whose bodies could use just a little more attention and care. It is a modality that can serve you as a stand-alone self-care ritual or as a complementary feature of your healthcare plan.
