ARMADILLO MOON

for nervous system health for wholistic wealth for well being

a healing arts practice

Armadillo Moon is an evolving practice dedicated to Somatic Bodywork & Movement for Nervous System Support offering innovative approaches to compliment modern medicine and preserve the forgotten art of healing wisdom.

This work is rooted in attunement, pacing and respect for each person’s capacity. Here, touch and movement are offered as invitations— a way to gently support regulation, presence, and a sense of safety in the body.

RESTORATION begins HERE.

Sessions Integrate:

>Attuned, trauma-informed touch<

>Gentle, optional somatic movement<

>Support for nervous system regulation and introspective awareness<

>Clear consent, predictability, and client choice<

Each session is paced and responsive, meeting the client where they are and adjusts moment-to-moment based on readiness and nervous system cues.

“Listen to the silence, it has much to say. ”
— Rumi

Matter & Energy

Experience the power of combining ancient wisdom with modern somatic science to awaken your inner peace.

Introspection:

Dive into curiosities. Open. The body is profoundly the most beautiful instrument, with sounds forming a symphony. From out of the skin, come the elements. From out of bones, rattles the stories. From inside the heart comes:

Acceptance:This is my BODY

Truth: The body is intelligence.

Empowerment: Know your PURPOSE

Become. Nourish. Praise. Transcend.
