It all started when…
In 2007, I had a thriving massage therapy practice nestled in the vibrant community of Venice, California. Like many practitioners, I used the typical lotions and oils on my clients, but a growing concern started to nag at me. I couldn't help but wonder about the ingredients I was applying to my clients' bodies, and the daily exposure I had to them. It was time for a change, and when I couldn't find a suitable alternative, I decided to create one myself.
My journey began with a passion for not just any ingredients, but the absolute best quality nature had to offer. I wanted to elevate not only the products but also the entire experience for my clients. They trusted me to heal injuries, induce relaxation, aid in recovery, and alleviate stress. I knew there had to be a way to use the power of natural ingredients to set the stage for something truly extraordinary.
That's when "hellomellow" was born.
I still handmade hellomellow products and use them exclusively in my practice, but hellomellow has found a following of its own.
DEFINITIONS
Body Engineer-ing is Tracy’s creation after 26 years of working with clients. From years of studying various healing modalities and countless hours of hands on hours, Tracy’s own intuitive way of unwinding the body layer by layer developed. Whether the layer is facial, muscular, emotional, or energetic, Body Engineer-ing is a system of meeting the body where the body is and awakening it to unwind and heal itself as it is ready. From years of experience in watching clients completely unravel pain, trauma, and old patterns physically and emotionally to glowing vibrant states of being, Tracy is confident that Body Engineer-ing is the path to wellness and feeling good.
Below are the many modalities that are used during Body Engineer-ing Sessions.
Myofascial Restructuring is an innovative new approach to manual therapy and the treatment of athletic/traumatic injuries. Its goal is to reduce or eliminate chronic pain and stiffness by releasing adhesions and realigning bones, restoring the body to a more fluid, balanced and aligned state.
Cranial Unwinding is based on the research of the brain, spine, dural tube, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The dural tube is a membrane that surrounds the spinal cord; the space between it and the spine, as well as around the brain, is filled with CSF. There is a rhythmic pulsation that keeps the tube and fluid in motion. Holistic practitioners can feel this rhythm, and with very gentle touch of about five grams, can manipulate the ebb and flow which promotes healing on multiple levels, especially through the use of the nervous system.
At the center of this kind of energy work is the motivation to restore balance in the energy field within the neck, spine, and pelvis. By moving the energy, you can removed blockages and restore flow.
Emotional Balance is the ability of the mind and body to maintain equilibrium and flexibility in the face of challenge and change. Emotional Balance promotes physical health, and is a prerequisite for personal wellbeing and growth.
Somatic Therapy is a holistic therapy that studies the relationship between the mind and body in regard to psychological past. The theory behind Somatic Therapy is that trauma symptoms are the effects of instability of the ANS (autonomic nervous system).
Massage Therapy improves rehabilitation after injury. By encouraging circulatory movement and relaxing muscles, massage helps the body pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs. This allows the rehabilitating injured area(s) to become more flexible and heal at an accelerated rate.
Energy Healing is based on the belief that promoting the flow of energy in your body helps your body balance and heal itself. Although Western medicine has been slow to recognize the value of energy healing, some research does increasingly support benefits from energy techniques.
Facia Blasting is when the fascia is warmed and softened by scrubbing the fascia with tools called Fascia Blasters. With repeated scrubbing old injuried fascia and ligaments and tendons can be flushed with fresh ogygenated blood realigning tissues and breaking up old adhesion and stuck patterns. Fascia Blasting is also used to change the appearance and smooth out areas of cellulite
Face Sculpting releases the tension you hold in your face, neck and head. This work does wonders for jaw tension and headaches, The facial work on the face helps to plump up skin and reduce tension created wrinkles. Add this to any session or sign up for a full length session to look fresher and feel more relaxed than ever!
Fascia is the sheath of connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones and internal organs. When you feel stiff and cramped after a long period of sitting in the same position or when you wake up stiff in the morning, your normally flexible fascia are likely to blame. With inactivity, fascia can become “stuck,” causing discomfort. Fascia blasting is the latest approach. It involves the use of the FasciaBlaster, a wand with attachments that you rub on the skin over the painful area for three to five minutes to increase circulation and break up adhesions increasing range of motion and healing of tissues.
Deep Tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronic aches and pains and contracted areas such as stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.
