Mindfulness, Yoga & Massage for Young Adults
The combination of social, neural, hormonal and bodily changes means adolescence is an especially formative period of our lives.
​
How we view ourselves, how we treat ourselves and how we adapt to change will have lasting impact on our adult lives.
​
Many adolescents resist talking therapy, and many parents are keen to avoid labels and medications.
​
Body-oriented therapies provide a gentle facilitation of change through sensory perception and neural integration.
​
A safe environment enables adolescents to practice being at ease. From simple breath observation, quiet arts-based therapy to clothed massage and pressure point therapy, teens can adjust to bodily changes, recognise what matters to them, and feel more comfortable in their own skin.
​
By replacing avoidance or reaction with gentle observation, teenagers can build neural pathways which open up opportunities.
​
Adolescence is a critical life window for adaptability. No matter the power of your experience, the window is open for change.
​
Learn body-oriented trauma-informed practices to adapt to the changes, come what may.
