Episode notes
Continuing my self care series I talk to Louise Enticknap about touch, prescriptive hugs and why you shouldn’t feel embarrassed about taking your clothes off!
Louise is an advanced clinical massage therapist who treats the body as a holistic whole. We discuss how trauma, PTSD and unprocessed emotions can be stored within the body and how massage can offer release. We talk about how our views towards intimacy and physical contact have changed as a result of the pandemic and Louise offers a calming mind-body technique you can use at home.
