Meet Your Treatment Provider with BomDia Massage and Wellness
Trauma sensitive healing bodywork is the practice of offering choice to our clients so they may regain agency around touch and their body. Trauma informed yoga and massage therapy can help to re-inform the body of a more secure way of being in the world.
The terms trauma informed, trauma-sensitive, and trauma-aware all refer to the idea that a healing modality can meet the needs of someone with a trauma history. This type of bodywork creates opportunities to bring forth and release trauma held in the body.

Drinking water before, during, and after exercise is essential to maintain optimal hydration levels and enhance athletic performance.
