In today’s fast-paced world, stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm have become common experiences. While talk therapy and medication can be part of healing, many people overlook a powerful tool for emotional support: massage therapy.
At Jessica Roux Massage Reiki & Wellness, we offer more than muscle relief—we create a trauma-informed, calming space where your body and mind can reconnect and reset.
💆♀️ 1. Reduces Stress and Cortisol Levels
Massage therapy helps lower cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, which is responsible for that “wired and tired” feeling.
Even one session can:
Calm your nervous system Lower blood pressure Improve sleep quality
Studies have shown that regular massage reduces physical symptoms of anxiety and depression—making it a valuable addition to your mental wellness plan.
🫶 2. Offers a Safe, Nurturing Touch
For many people, especially those with trauma histories or chronic anxiety, safe, consensual touch is deeply healing.
Massage provides:
Grounding through physical presence Reassurance without words A sense of being cared for without pressure or expectation
At our Concord, NH practice, every session is personalized and trauma-informed.
🌬️ 3. Encourages Mind-Body Awareness
When life is overwhelming, we often disconnect from our bodies. Massage gently brings your awareness back to:
Your breath Your posture Areas where tension and emotions are held physically
By reconnecting with your body, you can process stress more effectively and regain a sense of agency.
🌿 4. Boosts Mood with Natural Endorphins
Massage stimulates the release of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine—the body’s natural mood boosters.
Clients often report feeling:
Lighter emotionally Calmer mentally More centered and grounded
Even a 60-minute session can shift your entire week.
🧘 5. Promotes Long-Term Resilience
When combined with other wellness practices like therapy, breathwork, or Reiki, massage:
Builds emotional regulation Increases your capacity to manage daily stressors Enhances your sleep and energy patterns over time
At Jessica Roux Massage Reiki & Wellness, we see massage as a tool for whole-body healing—not just a luxury.
