Trauma-Informed Care: Healing with Safety, Respect, and Comp

A Healing Space Designed for You

At Beyond Curves, we believe that healing happens best in a space where you feel truly safe, heard, and valued. The body carries the stories of our experiences—both joyful and painful—and we recognize the deep connection between physical and emotional well-being.

Whether you have experienced trauma, had a negative experience with bodywork, or simply desire a treatment that respects your boundaries, our trauma-informed approach ensures that you are always in control of your healing journey.

Our goal is to offer Christ-like care, where every client is met with gentleness, compassion, and the utmost respect. You deserve to receive healing in a way that honors your experiences and brings peace to both your body and spirit.

What to Expect in a Trauma-Informed Session

Your session is guided by your choices, your comfort, and your needs. Every step of the way, your voice matters.

✔ Consent-Based Approach – You have full control over which areas are worked on, the level of pressure used, and whether we continue or stop at any time.

✔ Empowered Decision-Making – Open communication is a priority. We ensure that you always know what to expect and that you feel completely comfortable throughout the session.

✔ Safe, Gentle Techniques – Whether you are receiving manual osteopathy, massage therapy, or movement therapy, our methods are adapted to support your comfort and healing.

✔ Compassionate Awareness – Healing is more than physical. We recognize that emotions, past experiences, and trauma can manifest in the body. You are invited to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with, without pressure or expectation.

✔ Comfort-Focused Sessions – Every session is personalized to ensure a sense of peace, safety, and trust:

Fully clothed treatments available if preferred.

Please reach us at beyondcurves@outlook.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Can emotions and trauma be stored in the body?

Yes. The body has a remarkable ability to remember experiences, and emotions—especially stress, trauma, or grief—can become stored in the muscles and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs). This is why some people experience unexpected emotions or memories during bodywork.

What is fascia, and how does it relate to emotional pain?

Fascia is a web-like connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, organ, and nerve in the body. It plays a crucial role in movement, posture, and pain management. When we experience emotional stress or trauma, the fascia can tighten and become restricted, leading to chronic tension, pain, and reduced mobility.

How can trauma-informed bodywork help release stored emotions?

Trauma-informed massage and manual therapy use gentle, supportive techniques to encourage the body to release built-up tension in a way that feels safe. This approach respects your comfort, boundaries, and emotional readiness, allowing for gradual healing.

What if I feel emotional during a session?

It is completely normal to feel emotions rise during or after a session. Some people may experience a sense of relief, tears, or deep relaxation as the body lets go of tension. You are always in control of your session and can take breaks, pause, or stop at any time.

How do past traumas affect the nervous system and fascia?

When the body experiences trauma (physical or emotional), the nervous system shifts into a protective state (fight, flight, or freeze). This response can cause the fascia to become stiff, restricted, and hypersensitive to pain. Over time, unresolved trauma can lead to chronic pain, tension, or postural imbalances.

Can bodywork alone heal emotional trauma?

Bodywork is a powerful tool for releasing tension and promoting relaxation, but emotional healing often requires a holistic approach. Many clients find that combining trauma-informed bodywork with counseling, movement therapy, or spiritual practices creates deeper healing.

How do I know if trauma-informed care is right for me?

If you’ve ever felt unsafe, overwhelmed, or uncomfortable during bodywork, or if you experience chronic pain that doesn’t seem to improve with traditional treatments, trauma-informed care may be helpful. Our sessions are gentle, respectful, and guided by your comfort and consent at all times.
