Moments of Peace

This initiative is designed to support healing for those in our community who are in need of our services. We will match every donation, so your contribution will have twice the impact. By donating, you will help provide therapeutic services like Somatic Experiencing, saltwater floatation therapy, and Esalen massage to individuals who have experienced trauma or who are in need of support. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help to bring moments of peace, relaxation, and healing.

This fund was inspired by the devastation our community faced during Hurricane Helene on September 27, 2024. Our intention is to keep this fund open, offering access to therapeutic services for anyone in need as they navigate their healing journey.

Esalen® Massage for Trauma Recovery

Esalen® Massage offers a deeply restorative experience for those on the path of trauma recovery, emphasizing nurturing touch, slow and intentional strokes, and creating a safe, healing environment. By encouraging the body to release tension and holding patterns associated with past trauma, Esalen® Massage supports emotional and physical healing at a deep level.

The gentle flow of the massage helps regulate the nervous system, offering a space for profound relaxation and a renewed sense of safety within the body. This mindful, heart-centered practice helps reconnect you to your own inner wisdom, providing a foundation for ongoing healing and resilience.

 Saltwater Floatation for Trauma Recovery

Saltwater Floatation provides a sensory-reduced environment that can be a powerful tool for trauma recovery, particularly when healing involves reconciling our relationship with water. While we have experienced how water can cause destruction and loss, it is also a source of life, restoration, and healing. Floating weightlessly in a saltwater tank allows the body to rest and reset in a way that supports trauma recovery.

The water in the tank cradles you, mimicking the safety and support we long for after experiencing trauma. In this quiet, soothing space, the nervous system can find balance, releasing the hypervigilance and stress often held in the body. Saltwater floatation helps heal both the body and spirit by allowing you to reclaim the positive, nurturing aspects of water. Through this therapeutic experience, you can begin to rebuild your relationship with water, recognizing its ability to calm, soothe, and facilitate deep recovery.

Somatic Experiencing® for Trauma Recovery

Somatic Experiencing® (SE) offers a body-centered approach to healing trauma by focusing on the natural ability of the nervous system to regulate and restore balance. Trauma can leave the body stuck in states of fight, flight, or freeze, even long after the threat has passed. SE works by gently guiding you to reconnect with bodily sensations in a safe and supportive environment, allowing the body to complete unfinished responses and release the stored energy of trauma. This approach helps regulate the nervous system, reduce overwhelm, and foster a deeper sense of safety and resilience within your body.

By tapping into the body’s inherent wisdom, Somatic Experiencing® supports lasting healing, offering a compassionate space where you can regain a sense of control and presence in your life. Through this therapeutic process, you are empowered to move forward with greater ease, confidence, and emotional well-being.
