RituaLuna Wellness

We treat a lot of hypermobile/HEDS folks at RituaLuna Wellness. About 20 years ago I had a client who had ribs popping out like crazy, seizures, cardiac symptoms, a CSF leak and all sorts of other things and it took her years to get a diagnosis because she was young and looked healthy. I think one doctor even told her she was young and pretty and should just enjoy her life. We've come a long way since then and it's much easier for us to spot now, it's easier to get a medical diagnosis, and the appropriate long term management of symptoms through medical systems. Unfortunately, they still don't have a cure or a really effective way to mitigate the harm these conditions do to people. At RituaLuna Wellness have worked with hundreds of people who experience these complex symptoms and some of us have experienced these things in our own bodies. It takes a special level of skill and sensitivity to offer safe and effective massage/bodywork to this population. We support safety for those with joint hypermobility by focusing on softening and balancing tone rather than stretching or opening tissues. We offer effective soft tissue and neurological techniques that help calm and center nervous systems that might be getting too much or confusing information. We witness and support those who struggle in their bodies without always having the language or the solution. We also communicate and listen to help find how your unique body and nervous system can be best supported and we respect your needs/wishes/requests for safety and ease. We honor your struggles and value the magic and wisdom that often comes with having a highly sensitive system.

“Jess is an incredibly intuitive and attentive massage therapist. She listened closely to my requests and what my body needed. Her knowledge of traditional Chinese acupressure added depth and intrigue to our session. I felt seen, safe and cared for the whole time. I left relaxed, grounded and aware of my body. I would absolutely recommend Jess to anyone looking to release stress and feel in tune with their bodies.”

Thanks for a lovely review, Daisy! We especially love to hear about how Jess listened carefully to what you need: that comfort is so important. 💗
