If you have chronic body aches, pain, soreness, anxiety that won't go away? This podcast is for you!
Join me with my guest ,Nancy Lopez, as we delve into this fascinating study of psychoneuroimmunology, which explores the intricate relationships between stress, emotions, and physical well-being. With a passion for understanding the science behind the healing arts, Nancy brings her unique talent and perspective to the world of massage therapy. It's not just a massage!
Our bodies store experiences as deep feelings, with neuropeptides encoding emotional memories in our tissues.
These “ molecules of emotion “ connect the body and mind, embedding memories throughout our soft tissues and immune system. Nancy also explores the impact of the Vagus nerve on the body/mind connection and overall well-being, explaining how massage can reduce stress and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system.
She also does breath work.
She offers a unique blend of skills and knowledge that bridges the gap between science and compassionate care!
