What is Marrow Mending?

Marrow Mending is a unique hands-on approach aimed at restoring balance and promoting healing within the body. During a session, gentle compression techniques are applied to areas where excess energy may be held, helping to release tension and promote relaxation. Sessions take place on a massage table, with clients fully clothed, ensuring a comfortable and non-invasive experience.

Our skilled practitioners are trained in making and breaking contact in a way that empowers the body's natural healing processes. Through techniques like Marrow Mending, which views marrow as the 'source of energy' for the body/mind/spirit, our practitioners facilitate a deep sense of connection and restoration. Many clients have described the experience as spacious, nurturing, and deeply relaxing, often leading to a reduction in pain and an overall sense of well-being, as well as enhanced creativity and clarity.

Rooted in a holistic approach to health and wellness, Marrow Mending seeks to awaken the body's innate healing abilities. Sessions typically last between 20-30 minutes and are offered when needed as part of our unique holistic coaching package.

The Evolution of Marrow Mending

The Bone Bending Marrow Mending Modality (BBMM) was developed by our founder in 2003 and has since been refined and codified for teaching and certification purposes. Drawing inspiration from various somatic practices including Body Mind Centering, Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy, and Daoist perspectives on Marrow-Nei Gong and Chinese Medicine, BBMM represents a fusion of ancient wisdom and modern understanding.

Our founder's journey into holistic healing began with an exploration of Body Mind Centering concepts while working with dancers and the public as a massage therapist. This deepened understanding of the body's innate intelligence laid the foundation for the development of Marrow Mending.

Further exploration into Zen Meridian Exercises and a four-year training in Biodynamic Craniosacral work sharpened our founder's skills in energetic presence and deepened their understanding of the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

A pivotal moment came in 2012 when our founder faced a personal health challenge, leading to a profound exploration of movement, healing, and the energetic blueprint of the body. This journey ultimately led to a doctorate in Chinese Medicine, further enriching our understanding of the body's innate healing potential and the role of marrow energy in promoting wellness.

Today, Marrow Mending continues to evolve as we remain committed to empowering individuals on their path to health and wholeness.
