Welcome
Indyroots is dedicated to providing a safe, healing environment for all with an emphasis on those navigating trauma-recovery, chronic pain, dysautonomia, and nervous system dysregulation.
Rachel Heinbaugh is a licensed massage therapist who facilitates therapeutic somatic healing through a trauma-informed, neurodivergence aware lens. Cranial Sacral, Energy work, and physical touch are all conduits for this healing process. Rachel’s focus is on families and building capacity for touch and somatic attachment. Though anyone can benefit from this therapeutic approach, individuals with C-PTSD and PTSD are directly impacted by this bottom-up style of body therapy. Rachel will work individually with you, but can also collaborate with a therapy team for the client to receive care from multiple approaches.
What do these buzz words mean?
Trauma-Informed - Shifting the approach from “what’s wrong with me” to “what has impacted me”, we all metabolize traumas differently and are inherently bent towards wholeness.
Inclusive - Your body in all of its facets is wonderful. Inclusive bodywork creates a safe space for all cultural and gender identities.
Neurodivergence Aware- Embracing that brains are wired differently! Keeping in consideration transition times, explanation and instruction styles, sensory impact, and interpersonal communication.
Sensory Integrated- Paying attention to the body’s feedback about touch, sound, interoception, propiroception. Scaffolding the ability to develop preference and expand exposure to sensations.
Somatic Aware- Listening to the body’s communication and pace setting for touch and relationship. When the brain says “yes” and the body says “no”, we honor the body. In time this creates a stronger connection to self.
