Bridging the Gap

As I have moved forward with creating a more holistic session with Fusion Massage Therapy I have come to realize a few things, the first being that I am bridging the gap from traditional Western techniques and traditional "woo-woo" techniques ( I like to think I'm helping to create the woo west :)) At one point massage was considered woo-woo and was really only for relaxation and pampering purposes, and we now know that it is actually quite an important piece of the self care puzzle, and it helps to relieve pain, improve the immune system, improve mobility, along with creating a better sense of peace and relaxation, so in other words really working with the body. The traditional ancient/sacred healing and intuitive practices that are also brought into a Fusion session are there to work with everything else, the mind, the spirit, the energy that makes up us as a whole being. It addresses the underlying causes for discomfort, releases the blocks that are in the way of living the best life possible, and allowing the whole to heal in a natural and safe way. They may seem wooy but these are the practices that have been around far longer than the Western techniques, and to bring together both sides into one balanced session, simply allows for a more whole and deep healing experience, and best of all, it feels amazing!

My passion for both sides of the healing spectrum has led me to create Omnia to be a safe space where deep healing can happen, and create a session that allows the same.  Each Fusion session isn't about what you have to do differently, it isn't about becoming a gluten-free, hemp wearing vegan (which I am not, but it's great if that's what resonates with you) and it isn't about needing to change your lifestyle to fit an idea of what living the good life is unless of course, it is your idea. It is about reconnecting with exactly who you are and what that looks like for you, and that is unique to you. That is why each session is unique to each individual, though the massage aspect of a Fusion session is quite standard, what comes up otherwise for each person is unique to them. Which I go over with each person to end the session!

Ultimately I just wanted these healing practices to be accessible to everyone, and to create something that retains its comfort level while helping to co-create lasting change and wellness. Truthfully I'm really grateful to be healing the gap in this bridge.
