For years now I’ve dreamed of opening a space where I can use my education and experiences to help people feel better and move their bodies with more ease. Which is why I’m beyond thrilled to welcome you to Downregulation Station.

​

At Downregulation Station you can expect inclusive, body-positive care that meets you (and your body) where you’re at.

 

Services will include Pelvic Floor Massage, Visceral Manipulation & Therapeutic Massage.  

• Pelvic Floor Massage – The pelvic floor is the sling of muscles underneath your body. They are the voluntary muscles that are responsible for bowel, bladder and sexual health.  When these tissues become restricted, they can cause pain and dysfunction such as urinary or fecal incontinence (loosing urine or stool unintentionally), urinary urgency (feeling like you need to pee more frequently than you think you should), painful periods, and/or pain with sex. Massage to these muscles takes place through the vaginal and/or anal canal.

• Visceral Massage – This type of work is based on the premise that our bodies are not hollow. We have this big canister full of organs and these organs are connected to each other and our skeleton via ligamentous connections, which are made of fascia. Typically, these tissues (organs, fascia, etc) slide and glide over each other easily; so that when we get jostled about on a bumpy bus ride there is lots of mobility in our belly allowing everything to move about. However, if those fascial tissues become restricted and we are jostled around on a bumpy bus we can experience pain and discomfort, both in our belly and in other parts of our body. It blows my mind that a restriction in the belly can cause a shoulder to hurt but since fascia is continuous throughout the body it also makes sense. :-) This is a very gentle type of work performed directly to the belly.

• Therapeutic Massage – Therapeutic massage targets the muscles and fascia to improve physical and/or mental health.  This can include Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, passive stretching, trigger point therapy and cupping. 

​

While I’m still in the very early stages of building this little dream of mine, my goal is to be booking appointments by late spring.
