Unlike conventional massage, trauma-informed de-armouring and somatic unwinding are practiced with the client fully clothed.

Rather than focusing solely on the back of the body, this work gently supports areas often holding protective tension at the front of the body, approached with presence and nervous-system awareness.

Because somatic unwinding and de-armouring can involve emotional release or spontaneous movement, sessions are not carried out on a massage table. Instead, a grounded, floor-based space is created to support regulation, safety, and the body’s natural intelligence.

Each session unfolds differently, and at client-led pace.

Science

• Increased nervous system regulation and resilience

• Release of chronic tension patterns

• Improved stress adaptability

• Greater baseline calm and capacity

Somatics

• Release through breath, sound, movement, sensation, or emotion

• Increased ability to detach from emotion, to feel it and release it safety

• Heightened ability for internal pattern recognition

• Increased ability to identify and rewire limiting beliefs

• Increased body awareness and emotional safety

• Restoration of fluidity where armour once lived

• Completion of stored survival responses

Spirit

• Reclaimed authenticity and expressive freedom

• Revitalised creative and sensual life-force

• Deeper presence, vitality, and ease

This is a deeply attuned, 1:1 practice only, held within a trauma-informed container.

De-armouring combines elements of deep tissue work, breath, awareness, and acupressure, informed by Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern trauma theory.

Nothing is forced. Nothing is analysed. The body leads.

• Explicit exploration of safety, boundaries, and consent

• Guided reconnection to breath and interoception

• Practitioner–client attunement through limbic resonance

• Application of somatic and neurobiological skills attuned to client needs

• Trauma-informed touch to support discharge and release

• Pendulation between activation and resourcing to support grounding

• Integration and grounding

This work requires trust, presence, and pacing – release unfolds only when safety is felt.
