reverence for all that we are and all that is
Hello and Welcome!
I’m Kayla Lemieux – an integrated bodywork practitioner offering intentional bodywork sessions on the coast of New England in Gloucester, MA.
Bodywork is an invitation to expand our full body consciousness.
The quality with which we connect with our flesh, tend to our hearts, and allow (or resist) our unfolding determines what is possible.
When we touch, explore, and engage with our tissues from a place of openness and curiosity, we create opportunities for embodied exploration of the whole Self.
Hands-on touch tethers our exploration of liminal space – the field where perspective meets possibility, and paradox is abundant.
The body's innate wisdom guides the process. We can only traverse unfamiliar terrain with curiosity after we’ve established a foundation of safety. We move slowly, peeling back the layers and unwinding the threads that bind them.
I utilize a variety of modalities including craniosacral therapy, boneholding, fascial work, pelvic mapping, and scar tissue remediation for a holistic, integrative approach. Intentional bodywork sessions invite you to experience coherence and expansion through hands-on touch, thoughtful inquiry, and reflection.
Discover The INFINITE sea of possibility
What if we could engage with our bodies in ways that free us from being attached to a specific outcome? What if – through our unwavering commitment to remain open and curious – we developed a reverence for the process itself? What if we no longer needed ‘to know’? To have the ‘answer(s)’? What if Truth is in the unfolding and unfurling?
Self-relating Through curiosity
My relationship with my body is the most sacred and intimate relationship I have, though this wasn’t always the case. For the majority of my teenage and adult life, I struggled with intense pain and feeling generally uncomfortable in my body.
In my early 20s, I found yoga. Through consistent practice, I cultivated a greater sense of body awareness, the power of the breath, and how to ride the waves of my autonomic nervous system. Despite this newfound relationship with my body, I was still struggling with pain. After much resistance, I began working regularly with a Craniosacral Therapy provider. The experience drastically changed my life, and led me to explore self-facilitated bodywork.
When I began to touch and engage with my own tissues, everything changed. I discovered layers of myself that I didn’t know existed. As I leaned in with curiosity, the more expansive my practice became. When I dropped any agenda and let go of expectations, everything changed again. Another world opened, and I discovered how painful sensations had the capacity to become pleasurable.
The relationship I have with my own body – and its expression – guides and informs all of my decisions. Tending to the body, hearing its whispers, and answering the call is one of the greatest acts of self devotion.
