Anna Sallas, a clinical massage therapist and RYT 200 that works specifically with humans in the midst of cancer treatment, talks with us about how she works with aspects of grief in the body with her clients as well as her recent certification as a Death Companion:
In this episode we discuss:
Grief in the body (fascia, what’s stored in the tissue, emotional release. What I see during a massage)
• Normalizing grief (openly talking about it)
• Loss as a connector (identity & reminder of what’s important)
• The death positivity movement (going back to roots, the tie between birth & death, covid)
• Toxic positivity around grief & some ideas for the community to avoid hurting others. Holding space vs fixing
