Did you know that when our bodies are under chronic stress, our nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol, leading to heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, sleep problems and depression? Not to mention what that does to our skin.

Our tissues hold our issues, including our face tissues.

Our emotional state can actually impact our physical bodies, particularly our faces. Think back to a time when you have been sressed. Do you hold and cleanch your jaw? Do you squint yur eyes when angry? All the aggression, sadness and pain is being stored in your body. So by releasing that tension, we also release emotions and trauma behind it.

Massage and healing human touch can affect the body in positive ways.

Massage has been shown to:

- Lower cortisol and other stress hormones

- Increase serotonin and other feel-good hormones

- Calm the nervous system

- Lower stress and anxiety
