Question 1

Can gentle bodywork be combined with acupuncture or herbs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We often recommend combining bodywork with acupuncture, cupping, or herbal medicine for a well-rounded approach to wellness.

Question 2

Will I feel sore after getting gentle bodywork done?

Accepted Answer

Most clients feel relaxed or lighter. Some feel emotional or tired, which is part of the body's integration process. There is typically no soreness.

Question 3

Is gentle bodywork like a massage?

Accepted Answer

It’s different in technique and intent. While massage works on muscle tissue with pressure, gentle bodywork focuses on the fascia, breath, and nervous system.

Question 4

Do I need to undress for the gentle bodywork session?

Accepted Answer

No. Gentle bodywork is typically done fully clothed. Wear something comfortable and flexible.
