Relaxation therapy

Relaxation therapy, what is the response?

When you have a lot of stress, this kan overwhelm your nervous system and your body will be flooded with different hormones. This will prepare the body for the ''fight or flight'' modus. The way that the body reacts to stress, the response, can be lifesaving, for example in emergency situations. But on the otherhand, when your body is constantly in this modus, due to stress of everyday life, it can take a toll on emotional and physial health. It sort of wears the body down and this cost a lot of energy.

You can never avoid all the stress that comes due to everyday life but you can work with it, to minimalize the damage. By learning how to be in a relaxation response, this is a state of deep rest, we can counteract the detrimental effects what comes due to stress.
The relaxation response is the opposite of the stress response and will put a break on the stress. It can bring your body and mind back to a better state, this state we can call state of equilibrium.

“Paola heeft mij goed geholpen om tot rust te komen. Ik ben altijd erg druk als ondernemer en zat vaak met veel gedachten en heel veel taken. Ze heeft me leren rusten door te mediteren en healing massages. Ik heb ADHD en daarom is het lastig om te mediteren, te rusten en niet te veel na te denken, maar dankzij Paola kan ik veel beter de dagelijkse taken aan en is mijn stress leven vele malen lager dan voorheen. Dankjewel Paola!"
