Humans are amazing. Our resilience in the last year has proven that we are highly adaptable, innovative and imaginative beings. We’ve pooled our community resources and honed skills we didn’t know we had in the name of making it work, finding more often than we anticipated that the newness we created was an even better way. Going forward, beyond the need for our pandemic-created restrictions, we’ll continue to use and appreciate the existence of our new ways. The importance of community has reached new depths and we’ve done incredible things to protect and provide for each other.
Virtual solutions have meant a great deal to me as access to loved ones both near and very far became a vital need to sustain connection in relationships and balance in one’s days. But I felt a pang of longing for connection with my work community, as well. All of your faces, hearts and spirits used to fill my days and, especially in the first few months of Spring 2020, I found myself daydreaming about each of you. Wondering about your wellbeing, yes, but also your jobs, your sweet families, and when I’d be able to offer you supportive space once again. By the time I returned to work in late June and realized how many of you I’d have to wait longer to share space with for myriad reasons, I knew the time had come to create another way to connect with my beloved clients.
As a touch practitioner, I thought it wouldn’t be possible to connect with my dear clients the way I had been used to in this new virtual world. After all, sharing energy and healing through that exchange must require being in the same space and with direct contact, right? That limited thinking was proved wrong, and quickly, by two things - the feelings of loving support I received when I took virtual classes/offerings provided by others, and the deep connection I’ve shared with dear clients upon beginning offering virtual sessions myself. It’s absolutely amazing how potently healing seeing each other on our computer screens, hearing each other’s voices, and speaking about caring for ourselves can be.
I knew very little about what I was doing at first (this very watery Pisces person has always felt a block around technology) but I didn’t feel I had to. The importance seemed to be in the doing. My goal was to learn more than it was to perfect. I explored what felt true to Full Heart Healing and what I could offer my community. I learned what worked best with this platform and what folks felt nourished by. I was sure to be patient with myself and the new energetic limits one adjusted to through the first six months or so. And most of all I was mindful of what made my heart sing and felt like a full bodied “yes!” of alignment with my purpose. All of this developed slowly (my perfect pace) and dripping with intention, so it’s with great excitement that I introduce all of you to Full Heart Healing’s Virtual Sessions today.
Skin Support Session
mindful skin care, ingredient discussions, home care routines and intuition-building guidance for any beings looking to understand the language of their unique skin. single sessions or a series of four, including wellness ‘assignments’ to breathe love into your daily self touch.
Body Support Session
whether you’ve been moving less or moving more within the last year, your body has experienced great change. body awareness practices can provide a lot of feedback about what we need. a selection of highly intentional self-massage techniques and tools, gentle stretches, DIY body care products, and more can be shared in either a single session or a series of four over four weeks.
Lymphatic Drainage Tutorial Sessions
optimal wellness of the skin and body relies on flow. fresh blood circulating through your tissues, delivering nourishment to every inch of you. this is crucial for eliminating toxins and waste through our supremely important lymphatic system. better lymphatic drainage is accessible to people of all ages, levels of health, and skill in this series of four sessions. tools, techniques, tonics and more can be shared during our time together.
These special sessions were created for everyone but with two sets of people in mind. For those who, for one reason or another, cannot attend or feel less than perfectly comfortable attending our in-person sessions currently. This won’t fully replace our more traditional facial or massage time together, but it will encourage beautiful, supportive and well-informed self care practices and mindful self-massage until I can be your hands-on practitioner once again. And for those who have always wished we could have time for an instructional or deep dive chat into the world of skin care, massage techniques, home routines, selecting the best skin care tools, and so on. What a gift to have more time than we normally would after a session in the studio!
I will be sharing more about these sessions individually on my website and social media (@fullhearthealing on Instagram) in the coming weeks but feel free to email me here with any questions or for more information. Gift certificates are available for Virtual Sessions, if you have a loved one in need of support. And as always, stay connected via my newsletter because many more classes and product offerings are coming very soon!
Thank you for being you and for supporting Full Heart Healing so beautifully.
