My approach to bodywork is best suited for people who: Are working with a talk therapist and feel ready to include the body in their healing process. Experience persistent, systemic pain and tension. Are currently experiencing digestive disorders, bloating and constipation, nausea and acid reflux, GERD, swallowing dysfunctions Feel “numbed out” and disconnected from their body. Experience anxiety, depression, PTSD, C-PTSD, sleep issues, loss and grieving. Have had adverse reactions to more traditional forms of massage and bodywork (e.g. flare ups, pain during or after). Are wanting to heal from an old injury or surgery with an associated emotional component (e.g. sadness, grief, anger). Have tried everything to resolve their pain, and are open to a new approach.

I am a Massage, Energy and Spiritwork Practitioner, originally graduating in 1995 from the Massage and Energy Healing programs at the North Carolina School of Natural Healing in Asheville, NC. I have been in private practice for many years now, and have been mentored by many wise Massage Therapists, Energy Medicine and Spiritwork practitioners throughout my years of study. I have also worked in both medical massage and chiropractic clinics, but truly find that the most complete healing comes from a collaborative whole-person approach blending physical, energetic, spirit and somatic based practices. My client-centered, trauma-informed approach to healing means that your needs are always in the forefront of any session. I love the challenge of weaving together different elements in sessions to create a completely unique experience each and every time, to best serve your unique needs. I strive always to use my hands and body as an instrument of deep listening, so that I can be guided to assist you in your healing process in the most supportive way. Modalities used in a session may include: Myofascial Release, Visceral Manipulation, Chi Nei Tsang, Structural Decompression, Intra-oral and lymphatic work, movement re-education, McGloughlin Scar Release, Energywork, Spiritual practices and/or Neuromovement®. I am a graduate of both the Anat Baniel Method® Neuromovement® Core Curriculum and Children’s Mastery…and I’m thrilled to add these sessions to my repertoire! I have a depth of experience helping clients recover from surgery, sports injuries, chronic pain injuries from car accidents (especially whiplash), post-partum issues (for baby and mother), carpal tunnel, TMJ, you name it! I find great joy in co-creating personalized treatment plans to help clients move into greater physical ease and mobility. **PLEASE NOTE: I am no longer utilizing any “Deep Tissue” style techniques. If you are looking for someone to use a large amount of force in your massage session, please consider a different practitioner. https://www.taylorazar.com/services daily 0.75 2023-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/1616097587635-P9F2BU61LGB5T41PUBH3/500pxdownload.com-1001102594.jpg Services - body medicine: unconventional treatment work I have training in many techniques, all listed below.

Anat Baniel Method NeuroMovement®lessons use guided movements, directed attention and applied principles of neuroplasticity (The Nine Essentials) to increase differentiation in the brain—helping students overcome limitations and form new, more skillful, pain-free patterns of movement. Rather than viewing an individual as a mechanical system of parts or an issue that need fixing, this method views people as dynamic, information-based intelligence systems moderated by the brain—with infinite possibilities for continuous growth, refinement and development. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/1621539897917-L10Y3N1A3RRT5B37AP6I/shutterstock_1282589065.jpg Services from below to above-Mcloughlin scar work Our bodies and tissues are meant to move freely. When there has been a physical trauma resulting in a scar, our tissues are less mobile and can become adhered to other structures. When this happens, the body is forced to compensate and alter patterns of movement to accommodate the new limitations, which cause pain and disfunction in areas not just around the scar, but above and below. This disharmony creates fixed, abnormal points of tension and leads to functional and structural problems throughout the body. By addressing the site of the original trauma - the scar - we can greatly increase freedom of movement, release emotional trauma stored in our tissues, and fully complete our healing process. **NOTE** To book a Scar release session, please book a bodywork session and note “Scar release session” in the appointment notes in my scheduler. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/1616097043916-V1WZIFZ94CNL6JK5CMNK/500pxdownload.com-127153799.jpg Services - birth story unwinding for baby and mother, and support for baby around feeding and digestion Sometimes our littlest ones need extra support. Moms need extra support as well. Especially if there were unexpected elements in your labor and delivery that you need help integrating; or there were interventions you did not (or even if you did!) plan for, I can help your baby settle into their new body. In this type of session, usually you hold or feed your awake or sleeping baby while I do the gentlest work - a combination of ABM Neuromovement, Visceral Manipulation, Cranio Sacral and Energy Medicine - with your little one, depending on their needs. While this work is happening with one hand, my other hand can link up to your body, in a way that feels supportive, to balance you and your baby’s nervous systems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/1616098115043-KSHVE5QPZFZY586QAFMB/500pxdownload.com-64822367.jpg Services from there and back again-green energy medicine And Bespoke Flower Essence Creation The use of Flower Essences "meets you where you are.” “The action of flower essences can be compared to the effects we experience from hearing a particularly moving piece of music, or seeing an inspirational work of art. The light or sound waves, which reach our senses, may evoke profound feelings in our soul, which indirectly affect our breathing pulse rate, and other physical states. These patterns do not impact us by direct physical or chemical intervention in our bodies'. Rather, it is the contour and arrangement of the light or sound, which awakens an experience within our own soul similar to that, which arose within the soul of the creator of the musical or art form. This is the phenomenon of resonance, as when a guitar string sounds when a matching note is sung. In a similar way, the specific structure and shape of the life forces conveyed by each flower essence resonate with, and awaken, particular qualities within the human soul."

I am currently accepting new clients. PLEASE NOTE: The new variant of COVID-19 is highly contagious, and due to the fact that massage therapy work involves maintained touch and close physical proximity over an extended period of time, there may be an elevated risk of disease transmission, including COVID-19. I AM WAIVING ANY LATE CANCELLATION FEES DUE TO FEELING UNWELL (AS ALWAYS). Please notify me as soon as possible before your appointment if you or someone you have been in close contact with feels unwell or has been exposed to the virus and I will gladly reschedule your visit. What this looks like: if in the past 10 days you or ANYONE you have come into contact with have experienced symptoms of: loss of smell or taste, runny nose, cough, fever of 100 degrees or higher, sore throat, shortness of breath or breathing issues, flu-like symptoms, chills, muscle aches, or new rashes or lesions, PLEASE notify me and we will reschedule your appointment. If you have been diagnosed or exposed to Covid-19, I request that you wait 10 days before coming in to see me. Thank you for helping to keep my clients, myself and my family safer at this time. **NOTE: Face masks are no longer required for my healthcare services, so you get to decide whether you wear one in our session or not. I will still be wearing one, for now. If you are experiencing pain/discomfort that impedes daily life or activities, massage therapy benefits may outweigh the possibility of risk. I take all of this very seriously and want to continue to provide high quality healthcare through massage. My COVID-19 precautions are as follows: These are the steps I am taking to increase safety: Before entering the treatment room, I'll have clients wash hands in the bathroom directly across from my office. I provide each client their own separate blanket/linens (like usual) for their massage session. I use disinfectant wipes to wipe down the massage table, face cradle, body cushions, pillows, session room door knobs/light switches, and of course hand/arm washing thoroughly with soap and water. There are air purifiers in the session room. https://www.taylorazar.com/packages daily 0.75 2022-12-03 https://www.taylorazar.com/work-with-me daily 0.75 2026-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/3cb25f69-b4d8-4ee3-9456-76c76cf30551/Feb+BODY+%26+BREATH+Somatic+Movement+%26+Breathwork+Journey.png https://www.taylorazar.com/what-people-are-saying daily 0.75 2022-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/9471043e-19ee-45b0-87a6-f6cbbceaf4c0/Screen+Shot+2022-01-14+at+3.51.40+PM.png What People are Saying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/a44c9675-ed4f-4660-84d3-028e090dacd8/Screen+Shot+2022-01-14+at+3.51.58+PM.png What People are Saying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/bb27b979-06aa-4f19-998e-9a86a5bfe105/Screen+Shot+2022-01-14+at+3.52.05+PM.png What People are Saying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/44078f8e-4693-4d5b-b460-120c4e1bb350/Screen+Shot+2022-01-14+at+3.52.20+PM.png What People are Saying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/b7b6d9fe-bd2c-428c-9679-e2198c84df67/Screen+Shot+2022-01-14+at+3.52.26+PM.png What People are Saying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/d56a1714-922c-4d97-a7d2-2ed54e842078/Screen+Shot+2022-01-14+at+3.52.30+PM.png What People are Saying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/4fccff9a-d6b7-4202-bb23-7b2dc2f76d64/Screen+Shot+2022-01-14+at+3.52.40+PM.png What People are Saying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/e68d5605-da71-47d6-9847-71b9c93dac90/Screen+Shot+2022-01-14+at+3.52.45+PM.png What People are Saying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/84f7e992-624e-4903-83eb-f6db5b42cb90/Screen+Shot+2022-01-14+at+3.52.54+PM.png What People are Saying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/0d5fef7f-b274-4305-a7c7-94c80190fe71/Screen+Shot+2022-01-14+at+3.53.01+PM.png What People are Saying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/8a187bf0-990a-4f58-88cb-d0102a74283d/Screen+Shot+2022-01-14+at+3.53.07+PM.png What People are Saying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/90908405-f5fe-4eac-b165-1f7966a86638/Screen+Shot+2022-01-14+at+3.53.10+PM.png What People are Saying https://www.taylorazar.com/a-hrefhttps/wwwmassagebookcom/therapists/taylorazar/widget/servicesimg-srchttp/wwwmassagebookcom/home/img/getbutton/button-booknowpng-altbook-now-on-massagebookcom-border0/a daily 0.75 2023-10-05 https://www.taylorazar.com/breath daily 0.75 2026-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/b91acf60-da55-4976-9411-0c0f682f0478/_2f68153e-7a84-4452-9ac1-583f2ed81deb.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/e307fb87-763e-47a4-85ce-f1a6027b9c4e/green-bottle-2.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/1614292754142-AH6CZEEV67YVP7SMF09X/DSCF1449%2B%25281%2529.jpg https://www.taylorazar.com/store daily 0.75 2023-10-11 https://www.taylorazar.com/store/p/taylorsclass1 monthly 0.5 2024-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/1696875799028-0BCBK7XDFZQKLWLJDXLO/_9ec65d1a-793c-409a-ac9c-aabe14f6c474.jpeg Store - Taylor's Class (Level 1) https://www.taylorazar.com/store/p/taylorsclass2 monthly 0.5 2024-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/1696875539700-01K8ZZJ0Q7VNHI6333EU/_c221a046-2cc3-446d-a676-22c8324b91d8.jpeg Store - Taylor's Class (Level 2) https://www.taylorazar.com/store/p/taylorsclass3 monthly 0.5 2024-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602551e3ee49f40021a09932/1696875375150-7IVMBYWP5EYHA9I2JJBI/_1a775131-e310-45b6-b8b2-1efd0bc29126.jpeg Store - Taylor's Class (Level 3)
