Touch is the sense of belonging. A belonging to one’s body, a belonging to the connective human experience that our bodies help create. The ability to feel is the first sense that we develop in the womb. The comforting vibrations of our mothers voice, the slick feel of the fluid we swim through. We are tactile beings before we are anything else.
Touch yields some of life’s greatest lessons. It’s the foundation of feeling within the bodies we inhabit, the space we take up, the people we come to know and love. It is as much a physical experience as it is a spiritual one. We feel the eyes of a lover on us; we feel the warmth radiating off the beach sand bathed in sun; we feel the sorrow of loss, the vibrancy of love, the clarifying forces of anger. So much can be gleaned from the physical and metaphysical experiences of touch, but it all starts inside ourselves.
Bonnie Crotzer has dedicated her life and vision to healing the bodies we occupy everyday. Fascia, the internal connective network that marries our tendons and muscles and bones beneath the surface of our skin, is her focus. Through a carefully developed mode of bodywork that elongates, flexes, and stretches, Bonnie’s Flossing technique re-sculpts and recalibrates the body’s foundational structure through physical manipulation, guided resistance movement and engaged muscle elongation techniques. She creates an intentional mind-body connection to promote healing, through mindfulness of feeling; being present and intentional within the body.
