Radiant Body
Bodywork for Inner Light and Wellbeing
Emma Arata, CMT
A few words about your therapist:I am a Duke-educated computer scientist who also grew up on a farm and has backpacked through the wilderness from Mexico to Canada, among other physical-spiritual adventures. Though my mind always had an aptitude for the complex problem-solving required for software work and enjoyed collaborating with others, my heart and body have always felt called back to Nature, wildness and the deeply soulful and life-affirming path of attuned embodiment. That ceaseless passion for physicality and vitality brought me out of corporate technology and into the world of somatic healing, where I've found a more creatively fulfilling path in living an embodied art form that helps modern people bridge the divide between the mind and body.I believe the body is each of our own slice of Mother Earth’s vast wilderness; an amazing work of art that is the living, breathing embodiment of our whole life's story. I am here to witness the story of your body, the way the wind witnesses the trees or the ocean witnesses the shore... and perhaps even to bring to light some of the parts of you that have been lost, forgotten, or crumpled.My hands-on bodywork practice is an act of reverent service: contactful, attuned, and loving. I seek through my work to embody nature's way of healing, to facilitate inner connection, and to help restore and grow flow, ease, and joy to your whole mind-body-spirit system.Radiance arises naturally out of inner integration. May you leave my table feeling radiant!
