Bringing Energy Into the Body

A gentle opening into unseen healing

Many of you come to Therapeutic Bodywork for the relief that only deep, attuned bodywork can bring. You trust the table, the stillness, the precision of pressure, and the way your body finally exhales. But there is something else happening beneath your sessions—something quieter, older, and more mysterious than muscle and fascia.

It’s energy.

You may have felt it without realizing—how your emotions release or surface unexpectedly… or how a subtle warmth spreads through you as we hold a certain point… or how you leave not just relaxed, but cleared.

This is the body in conversation with something deeper than technique. It’s your nervous system responding not only to the touch, but to the frequency behind the touch.

For years now, we’ve been quietly integrating subtle energy healing—especially a gentle and ancient practice called Reiki—into our bodywork sessions. Not always overtly, and never without respect for your boundaries. But when the body calls for it, we listen.

So what is Reiki?

It’s not a belief system. It’s not mystical in the way the word might imply. It’s simply this:

The offering of subtle life force energy to a body that knows what to do with it.

Like sunlight warming your skin…

Like music vibrating through your chest…

Reiki moves in waves, often without words. It meets your body where it’s most ready to receive.

Some clients feel it as tingles. Others feel deep calm. Some sleep.

Sometimes the sensation is immediate, and other times it lingers gently into the hours and days after the session.

Energy is the first language your body ever spoke.

Before the body stiffened from stress…

Before pain became familiar…

Before you learned to push through instead of soften…

There was sensation. There was signal. There was flow.

And that’s what Reiki helps restore.

We share this now not to add something new, but to help you understand something that may have already been happening in your healing. A deeper layer has always been waiting to be seen, felt, and honored.

If this speaks to you—if your body is whispering yes & more—We invite you to bring it into our sessions with intention & purpose.

Just ask.

You don’t need to know how it works. You don’t need to explain why.

Just bring your breath, your body, and your willingness to receive with full intention.

With warmth and care,

The Staff of Therapeutic Bodywork
