Restorative Bodywork is the art of combining bodywork, craniosacral therapy (CST) and restorative yoga to balance and align body, mind, breath and soul. The conjunction of restorative yoga poses with myofascial release & CST techniques helps to access and release deep holding patterns that feed chronic pain and stress related ailment.

The combination of these approaches although very subtle is deeply felt within the fascial matrix, and the deep unwinding of the tissues has an impact on all systems. Placing the body in a posture, such as gentle bend, twist, and extension affect a proper flow of the spinal fluid. This allows for the breath to slow down, travel further, and for the client to enter a meditative state, regulating their nervous system where healing can take place.

The synthesis of manual therapy with restorative yoga not only helps regulate the client's nervous system, but also introduces vast new healing and well-being possibilities for clients.

We learn that patterns of anxiety or depression are actually lodged in our tissues, posture, breath as well as our personalities, showing the effects of stress on the nervous system.

Through Restorative bodywork we work with what is already happening within the body and what is ready to shift and willing to change. 

“Marie Soleil is extremely talented. She is a natural healer and an intuitive and versatile massage therapist. She is very in tune with the body and I always feel deeply relaxed and restored after her treatments. She is also very caring and focussed on you and your wellbeing. Most recently I had an ‘restorative bodywork’ and it was amazing. Using a restorative yoga poses & props combined with massage, she was able to find all the right spots, used great pressure, relieved pain and tension, but also connected with me on a deeper energetic level too. She assisted me with proper breath techniques during my treatment as well that have made me more aware of my breathing in my day-to-day routine. After my treatments with her, the results have been very positive-- a sense of well being, better posture, less chronic pain, breathing properly (something I need to work on), more in-tune with my body and more relaxed overall.
I would highly recommend her services...she's a massage angel.”
