Service Description
Trauma-Informed Massage for Nervous System Healing | West Des Moines Your body remembers what your mind had to survive. Trauma-Informed Somatic Massage at Rebel Wellness is a slow, intentional, consent-based session designed to support nervous system regulation, fascia release, and deep emotional safety. This is not a traditional massage. This is specialized bodywork for those holding chronic stress, stored tension, or unresolved experiences in the body. It is grounded, present, and built on trust. At Rebel Wellness in West Des Moines, this session is approached through a trauma-informed lens, honoring your pace, your boundaries, and your body’s signals at all times. This work supports the areas where the body often holds history, including the hips, jaw, diaphragm, and rib cage, helping release tension while guiding the nervous system out of survival mode. This session may include: Slow, somatic-based massage techniques Nervous system regulation and grounding Myofascial and fascia unwinding Hip, rib, and diaphragm release (with clear consent) Breath awareness and body connection Polyvagal-informed pacing Each session is guided by what your body is ready for. Nothing is forced. Everything is consent-led. This session may support: Chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation Stored tension and body-held trauma Anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout Difficulty relaxing or feeling safe in the body Important to know: This is bodywork, not talk therapy or crisis counseling. Emotional release can happen, but time is not dedicated to processing trauma stories. If deeper psychological support is needed, you will be encouraged to work with a licensed mental health professional. Due to the focused nature of this work, sessions are paced intentionally and held to full session rates. Late arrivals will shorten your session time. Membership Note: Trauma-Informed Massage is not included in the Sacred Monthly Membership. Members are welcome to book at the listed rate. This ensures proper pacing, practitioner capacity, and a safe container for this level of work. If your body has been holding more than it can carry… this is where you begin to release it. Book your Trauma-Informed Massage at Rebel Wellness in West Des Moines and experience safe, intentional, body-led healing.
