Restorative Bodywork Sessions:
Mind the Gap Massage Sessions
A Nervous System Reset for women who can't relax, feel exhausted, carry chronic tension, or are living with autoimmune conditions.These sessions include Polarity, Bars, Flower Essences and Restorative Bodywork.I am slowly incorporating Diamond Active Massage™. With this work, the client is an active participant in their treatment. As they are guided by the therapist, they activate and move the body on the table. This allows people to feel empowered and deeply connected to the body and brain!
That DAM™ Spot
30–45-minute sessions that focus on one or two areas of the body using Diamond Activated Massage. These sessions are active and not passive. This means that we will work in collaboration together – you will be guided to move areas of the body with certain movements to improve your pain and stress levels.
Flower essences may be used in these sessions as well as fascia tools and gua sha. There is ample intake prior to getting on the table and reflection time after the session.
I guarantee that you will feel heard, be clearer in mind and energy centers and be connected to your body, heart and wisdom with all sessions offered.

About
Hello, I'm Shannon Emery.I've been the realm of holistic and modern healthcare
for over 20 years.I am in midlife/perimenopause, and have first-hand experience with: Being in burnout.
The dying and death process and the grief that comes after.
Caretaking; my son, my mother and a family friend.
Celiac and digestive disruption.
Cleaning up other people's messes and stepping into the People Pleaser/Good Girl.I've also struggled with being overweight, 30lbs to be exact. I've been on and off the sugar and grain train. I've been anxious and melancholic and being stuck in my head and not trusting the Divine Source.I have also done the work to get out of these situations and emotional flow states and continue that work (not always easy).There is no space for perfection, only growth and learning.I am a fiery Aries and a 1/3 Emotional Projector in Human Design. This means I'm constantly researching and experimenting with what does and doesn't work and share that information.As I learn more about me in this stage of life, I am able to support women as they navigate their journey and move into their next level of life.This is a Sacred time in life.
It's an initiation into the next powerful phase of life as you let go and heal what is no longer yours to carry and hold.This is a time for honoring and supporting what the body, energetics and soul are calling for in the here and now and beyond.This is the work of Nurture the Vessel.
