Emily Violet Elizabeth Ball

As a trauma-informed and intuitive practitioner for over 20 years, I believe bodywork and energy work offer us a vital pathway to connect to our innate ability to heal, not as an "end-point," but as an expanded capacity to walk ourselves through our experience of being human. 

Massage, bodywork & energy healing help us unwind long-held patterns in our tissues and energetic fields, and bring us into communion with our senses so we can know what it feels like to embody our own energy & be more present in our lives.  

I provide sessions designed for each person’s needs, combining techniques to relieve pain and tension, and bring movement to stagnation--- making space for new energy to come through, and offering more clarity, openness, groundedness, and freedom in the client's experience.

I believe healing comes through recognizing our innate divinity and wholeness---so we can hold with greater tenderness, and see with greater clarity, the parts of us that need our awareness & compassion.

More than just a massage, I do bodywork for the soul.

All sessions are offered in the comfort of your own home---I travel to you and bring everything we need for the session.

Background

• In 2004 I completed 500 hours of training in the healing arts at the Ojai School of Massage.

• In 2007 I received Usui Reiki Levels 1 & 2 attunement from Dragana Gobic.

• In 2013 I completed a 48 hour specialized training for bodywork practitioners with Eileen Donovan, in the Upledger method of Craniosacral Therapy, Levels 1 & 2.

• In 2017 I received my Reiki Master Teacher attunement from Jenette Traverson after ten years of practicing Reiki in the Usui lineage.

• In 2017 I began a year of study with Erin Schroeder, including both a month long Essential Psychic Skills course and The Psychic Training, an intensive 8 month clairvoyant training program through which I received a Certificate of Completion. This experience was invaluable, with deep personal healing and energetic resilience building, as well as attuning my natural psychic skills beyond my own sphere—training to ethically read energy for others, move energies through the body and field, and hold powerful space for clients’ healing & intuitive growth.

• In 2019 I began a training for practitioners based on Alaine Duncan and Kathy Kain’s book, The Tao of Trauma. By 2021 I received certification after completing 70 hours of training. My teacher Alaine Duncan’s approach is an integration of Eastern and Western philosophy, science and vibrational healing modalities— merging Five Element Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine with Dr. Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory, Dr. Peter Levine’s model of trauma response (the five steps of the self-protective response aligning with the five elements as expressed in the body,) and Kathy Kain’s perspective of Somatic Experiencing work. We studied the neurobiology and physiology of trauma, cultivating skills and practicing techniques and approaches to healing trauma, while weaving in the wisdom of the elements— to restore balance & regulation in the nervous system, and coherence in the body & field.

I carry certification through the California Massage Therapy Council, and am insured by Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals.
