AWARENESS MASSAGE

massage & movement

WITH BARBARA HELYNN ROBLES,LMT

Aloha and welcome, my website visitors. I'm Barbara Helynn. 

In practicing massage & movement, my goal is to help folks become more present and aware in their bodies and thereby able to move more freely and easily.  With deep yet gentle touch, I invite the bodies and minds of those I work with to let down physical and emotional guards in order to rest in a state of innocence and well being. 

The bubble of calmness created is deeply relaxing and it effectively relieves or eases pain, and supports ease of movement.  This oasis provides an opportunity for renewal, recovery from injuries, and a break from stresses of life.

In teaching massage & movement, I use clinical thinking and anatomy specific, hands-on techniques, both grounded in a foundation of harmony between spirit, nature and humanity. I emphasize body awareness, use of one’s weight, development of keen palpation skills, the creative power of the words, and importantly, the power of loving touch. 

I look for Light (goodness) in each person to help us all to be and do our best. 

To support healing on multiple levels, I help students develop a deep yet gentle quality of touch, and to integrate spiritual energy into bodywork sessions, when so desired.  

I actively listen with all my senses as I blend treatment and wellness focus in sessions, allowing the receiver to experience healing and their own innate goodness in body, mind and soul.

The most transformative and memorable massages I've received during my lifetime have  been massages I received while being "in the midst of maddness".  In times when I felt my whole life was a mess, and emotional pain gripped my body and mind, these special massages helped me to reconnect with, and feel, my own beauty and goodness, inside and out, just the way I am.  They regrounded me. 

In sharing  loving touch with others, I'm priviledged to be able to reflect their own goodness back to them, so that they too can deeply know how perfectly made they are, and love themselves just the way they are, especially during difficult times.
