Supporting integration, mobility, and reconnection after healing
Scars are part of healing –– but they can continue to shape how your body moves and feels.
Even after medical healing is complete, your body may still hold patterns of protection. Tissue can feel tight or braced. Movement may be restricted. Sensation can be dull, heightened, or unfamiliar.
This work focuses on helping your scar tissue become more integrated within your body.
Through slow, specific manual therapy, we support better glide between layers, more ease in movement, and a clearer sense of connection to the area.
Nothing here is rushed or forced. We work at a pace your body can actually respond to –– so changes are not just created, but kept.
This work may support:
~ Surgical scars (including C-section, abdominal, orthopedic)
~ Mastectomy and breast surgery scars
~ Chest scars (including open heart or gender-affirming/top surgery)
~ Burn Scars
~ Injury scars
~ Abdominal or pelvic scars
~ Adhesions or internal scar tissues
~ Lingering restriction or unfamiliar sensation following procedures
Sessions include hands-on work with scar tissue and surrounding fascia, along with support through breath and subtle movement. You don't need to arrive calm or prepared. We simply begin where you are.
We work with your body, not against it. Over time, this work can help you move more freely –– and feel more at home in your body again or anew.
~ When I am in a session with Angela I feel held. I am able to completely relax and feel myself as peace. C.B.
~ I met Angela about two years ago. She did a sound scar tissue session on me which was very profound. First she took the time to listen. Then she asked reflective questions I have not asked myself. She then played tuning forks and worked on my scars. Over all it was a transformative session. Her compassionate and empathetic nature made me feel safe and secure. I felt as if I could open up about my scars and the trauma behind them for the first time. I highly recommend getting sessions with Angela. Rose Ortiz
