“For every tight muscle, there is a tight thought.”
— Dr. Trager

Each thought creates a pattern. Every experience in our life leaves its memory in our tissue. Pleasant or unpleasant, the body holds the memory. But we can learn new ways, we can integrate past, unresolved traumas, we can release deep seated physical and mental patterns, invoking deep relaxation, increased mobility and mental clarity.

This work has also been reported to ease or manage a wide range of conditions including:

  • Anxiety

  • Back pain

  • Cerebral Palsy

  • Depression

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Headaches

  • Multiple Sclerosis

  • PAIN OF ANY KIND: Physical & emotional traumas; Neck pain; Pain from automobile accidents

  • Parkinson’s Disease

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

  • Everyday aches & pains

  • Limited movement

  • Long-held emotional trauma

  • Muscle spasms

  • Neuralgia

  • Sports & other injuries

  • Stress

    …. to name only a few

Learn how to move more freely, easily and effortlessly. Re-program old patterns of pain, rigidity, anxiety, fear, or others through movement, attuned touch, present-moment-awareness, breath, dialogue. Utilizing the wisdom of the body and the vast potential of the subconscious mind, we will increase your access to growth & change.

There are two important things to consider here: 1. Through felt sense we engage in a conversation that creates change; 2. Through movement in your rhythm, you learn to tap back into and feel your natural state of ease and comfort.

This is truly artful work that has the potential to change your body, your mind and your life! One client even called it “poetic.”

Transforming * Entrancing * Healing

Even more exciting – the results are lasting.

 
 

“ It's been a long time since I first stepped foot in Madelana's office for my first TragerWork Session (three offices ago!) What brought me there was an excruciating pain in my piriformis muscle caused by over-use due to running. I had experienced many physical discomforts resulting from rigorous marathon training, but because I had ignored my body's signals and continued to run and exercise, I was literally stopped dead in my tracks. Seeking medical attention first, the notion of physical therapy three times a week for two hour time blocks was not conducive to the schedule of a full-time working single mother of two. I had to seek alternative options. Having been a yoga student of Madelana's for many years, I felt very comfortable speaking to her about my condition. That began my education of Trager. It's not like massage or deep tissue contact, but how I understand it is a movement of energy that has been so deeply stored in every tissue, every fibre, every cell within our bodies. What I quickly realized -- as well as believed and accepted -- is that these physical pains I was experiencing were merely a result of deep-seeded emotions and old patterns I've been hanging on to for a very long time. Through regular TragerWork sessions with Madelana, she has been able to shift these energies with sometimes just a touch, no movement at all, and other times, by applying a little stronger pressure. Her technique varies session to session based on what my body tells her it needs. She is patient, attentive, and extremely talented. This is God't gift to her and she shares it unconditionally. Regarding my physical discomforts, they come and go, but one of the most valuable things I've learned through my continued sessions with Madelana is how amazingly powerful the mind truly is. I am blessed for every experience I have with her. “
