what is it?
BCST is a relational bodywork modality centered around holistic awareness. the work unfolds slowly with each client’s unique process. first, we talk about your state of being, and any aspects you wish to shift therein. then we get you extra cozy on a massage table, fully clothed, with any blankets and cushions you would like, seeking a personalized, detailed level of comfort. once you are nicely nested, i will ask for consent to make contact, and i will hold your feet for several minutes before proceeding with the treatment. we will usually engage in a series of holds along the spine and head, and close the session back at the feet. there may be times when some manual pressure or guiding movement is called for, but the general style of touch in these sessions is neutral, floating, oriented to listening to the body’s many layers. from this connected, settled place, we will begin to notice shifts in the body, energy, and consciousness. it can be quite subtle, and it can also be dramatic!
slowness as resource
on your first visit, we will focus on comfort and safety, allowing the autonomic nervous system to downshift at your pace. we will seek to cultivate a balanced state of observation, so we can follow the layers of your being wherever they may lead. to track these layers, we might talk quite a bit during a session, and we may be silent and still for awhile, just listening. each session will have a different flavor, and we will gain skill in noticing energies, physical sensations, and emotional tones as we deepen our working patterns together. over the course of several sessions, we will learn to notice the tidal shifts in your unique processes. we will weave a container stable enough to allow your body’s innate intelligence to find new patterns. with time, we may even learn to hold great intensity with radical gentleness.
