Hello friends!

If you’ve been feeling stressed, stuck, or disconnected in your body, you're not alone. People come to me to feel calmer, more at peace in their bodies and to heal from chronic issues that are hard to put a finger on: chronic pain, unresolved grief, trauma and anxiety.

Rise Up Bodymind is a Therapeutic Bodywork and Somatic Awareness practice located in Wallingford. I support emotional resilience, trauma healing, deep relaxation, and helping you reconnect to your body in a safe, affirming space.

I specialize in:

~ Therapeutic Deep Tissue Massage: grounding, calming, reconnecting, resetting- healing on a cellular level

~ Nervous System Balancing: deep regulation, empowering you in learning your body's own internal signals of when you are in fight/flight and how to feel deeply at home in a calm system

~ Somatic Awareness Coaching: mindfulness practices rooted in relational consent work, what does a no feel like in my body, how do I move forward from a yes, how do I feel more and also feel safe, how can I connect to a life that FEELS authentic and peaceful to me?

My work is inclusive, body-positive, gender-affirming, trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and rooted in self-compassion.

If you’re looking for skilled, supportive care to feel more at ease, more alive, and more yourself again, I'd love to connect! ~ Katy

“Sometimes the simplest and best use of our will is to drop it all and just walk out from under everything that is covering us, even if only for an hour or so—just walk out from under the webs we’ve spun, the tasks we’ve assumed, the problems we have to solve. They’ll be there when we get back, and maybe some of them will fall apart without our worry to hold them up.” - Mark Nepo

Show Up For Yourself ❤️‍🩹✨

I recently discovered in my journey of body love, and self-love, that there are three separate components to my health right now.

1. Food
2. Exercise
3. Health Metrics

By separating these three things, I could see that i have a different relationship with each of these parts of me and it helps me feel less overwhelmed by an overall concept of: I’d like to take better care of myself.

How are you showing up for how you want to feel?

Did you know that you are the expert on your body?

In the countless hours that I have spent with clients experiencing pain, I see people who are coming to terms with being the one who is actually in charge of their own healing.

There’s a weight to that.

It can feel like a lot to manage and deal with, especially when it comes to managing the emotional aspects…

Take a few moments this weekend to rest, breathe and think through the following journal prompts:

✨ What can I do in this moment to bring more peace into my being?

✨ What can I do in this moment to get myself some ⠀
nourishment and self-care?

✨ What’s not wrong in my life?
Here are three things that I can think of right now:⠀

✨ Write about all the places where you currently feel tension in your body. Write about all the areas that feel relaxed.

✨ What fears or stresses am I holding onto that are no longer serving me? How can I release these?

We store trauma in our body.
What is happening in your body when you feel overwhelmed or anxious?
By beginning to get curious about what’s happening in our body, we can start to notice if there is a thought or meaning we are making of how we feel, an emotion we can name, an image we can bring up of the sensation, any senses like smell, texture, or color that we can relate to this feeling.
We can look at the way our body is responding and wanting to move…
