45 Self-Massage. The Healing Power Of Loving Touch.

Today we’re rolling up our sleeves and getting hands-on with the ultimate self-care practice: Self-massage.

 

Now before you start thinking, ‘Oh, I can just pay someone else to give me a massage’ or ask my partner, we don’t want to get in the habit of outsourcing our self-love. While I certainly do enjoy receiving a massage from a professional or my husband occasionally, there is so much healing we can experience, through the touch of our very own hands.

 

Because here’s the thing… Our body isn’t just a vessel getting us from A to B. Our body is our best friend. Our home.

 

And what better way to say ‘thank you’ to all that our body does for us day-in day-out, than to show it some tender, loving care with a DIY massage! Not only does it feel AMAZING, but it’s a powerful way to connect with our inner self, instigate deep healing within our cells, and help repair our fragmented relationship with our body.

 

So without further ado, I invite you to join me on I Love Me The Podcast, so you learn how to offer yourself the loving touch you so very much deserve.

About me…

 

My name is Tamra Mercieca and I’ve been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now. In 2011 I launched my online school Getting Naked where I offer programs to help people strip off the stories and childhood conditioning, so they can fall in love with themselves.

 

While I go by many labels - mumma, wife, tea lover, drummer - professionally I’m known as a Self-Love Therapist, Writer and Women’s Pelvic Health Guide, qualified in over a dozen physical and mental health modalities. I’m the author of two books, have been published in dozens of print and online publications, appeared on TV many times, and love to share the teachings of self-love at yoga and spirituality festivals.

 

Personally, my journey began when I worked out how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety (and get off my meds). I then went on to create a ten-session program where I now help others do the same.
