Love Your Belly
Workshop

In a world where many shy away from the touch of their own bellies, the “Love Your Belly” workshop dares to break through those barriers. It recognizes the unspoken stories and traumas that might have taken root in the very core of your being that have been urging you to hold back and suppress emotions. The "Love Your Belly" workshop is your invitation to break free from the constriction of hesitation, transcend the shadows of trauma, and bask in the glorious light of self-love and healing.

This workshop is an exploration that facilitates a transformation of your relationship with your body and ignites a deep connection with your inner self. You will not only learn to appreciate the intelligence of your body but also rekindle a loving relationship with your belly. 

Prepare to be astonished as we detoxify, energize and unveil power of this often-misunderstood center through ancient Chinese Taoist bodywork called Chi Nei Tsang (CNT aka Integrated Internal Organ Massage), specialized abdominal massage techniques, corrective & meditative breathwork, and energy work. It supports mental and physical health by improving digestion, immunity, reducing stress, tension, pain, and scar tissue.

We address the issues that concern the workshop participants which have included recovery from digestive issues, body image, low back/hip pain, scar tissue, feeling of disconnection from belly & body, anxiety, Csection, hysterectomy, transgender surgery that includes hysterectomy (all of these are major surgeries that require specialized rehabilitation. Even years later, it’s not too late.)
