The body keeps the score, so they say. Traumas from years past are stored in our tissues, and manifest in pain and tightness, stagnation and deformities.

But at the same time, it’s our perception of the traumas that dictates whether they stay in the body or leave. Whether the tissues stay wound up, or unravel and dissipate.

Therapy and somatic work help unwind the stories within us. But is it more accurate then to say, that the body is more of a scoreboard, and the human being, the individual, the soul within the body, the true scorekeeper?

Beauty, flow, radiance, wellbeing… they all lay in the eye of the beholder. And as we deepen our ability to see into the depths of who we really are, beyond all the layers we’ve tacked on and knotted up over the years, the surface level stories begin to dissolve and the stories of the soul rise up to the occasion to take their place.
