5aspects Integrative Touch
TOUCH FOR REGULATION, STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY & EMBODIED INSIGHT
Integrative Touch™ is an attuned, developmentally paced approach that brings the body directly into the healing and growth process. It is gentle yet powerful, precise yet organic, and always respectful of your nervous system’s natural thresholds.
This work weaves structural bodywork, nervous-system regulation, and psychological insight into a single, living process of integration.
As a result, where talking reaches its limits, the body continues the conversation.
An Invitation into the Body
Integrative Touch is for those moments when insight alone is not enough—when something in the body wants to reorganize, soften, realign, or come into clearer relationship with lived experience.
Through attuned touch, pacing, breath, and relational presence, this work supports your system in finding greater ease, clarity, and coherence—physically, emotionally, and psychologically.
Sometimes the session includes reflection and guided awareness.
Sometimes it is quieter: resting, receiving, and allowing your system to settle in a trusted field.
Always, the work follows your capacity, your timing, and what is ready to emerge.
What Makes This Work Different
Integrative Touch is not a single technique. It is a way of working with the whole person as one living system.
The work integrates:
- trauma-sensitive, wholeness-informed attuned contact
- structural and fascia-oriented bodywork
- nervous-system regulation and threshold awareness
- postural and movement integration
- embodied psychological insight, including Enneagram-informed understanding
- developmental pacing grounded in Full-Spectrum Emergent Wholeness™
Integrative Touch supports a deep reorganization—one that unfolds across physical structure, felt sense, meaning-making, emotional life, and self-understanding.
Your physical reality is invited into dialogue with your psychological, relational, and existential truth—so they can come into a more coherent, livable harmony.
All of this unfolds within a clear, professional frame.
How Sessions Unfold
Sessions take place in a quiet, grounded, relationally attuned space.
Integrative Touch may be woven into ongoing one-to-one facilitation or received as a dedicated bodywork session, depending on your needs and the focus of our work together.
Most clients receive this work in underwear, with clear draping at all times. Sessions are conducted with care, respect, and clear professional boundaries throughout. The work does not require the use of oils.
A session may include:
· brief postural or movement observation (standing, walking, or gentle movement)
· hands-on work on the table, guided by subtle somatic tracking
· invitations into awareness to deepen interoception and embodied understanding
· small movement explorations to integrate structural change
· pauses for breath, reflection, and nervous-system settling
· time to simply soften, rest, and receive nourishing contact
The pacing is slow, responsive, and deeply attuned. Your system leads—I listen, track, and respond.
Because this work is trauma-sensitive, we always assess together whether hands-on structural work is appropriate. For some, sessions may begin fully clothed, seated, or focused on relational and somatic awareness before moving onto the table.
This is developmental bodywork—cultivating agency, coherence, embodied resilience, and a more compassionate relationship with your body over time.
Session length: 60–90 minutes
What You Can Explore
Sessions unfold organically, guided by your body’s timing, your nervous system’s thresholds, and ongoing attunement and consent in the moment.
Through Integrative Touch, any of the Five Aspects may naturally come into view—not as goals to pursue, but as experiences to be noticed and met. This can include settling and grounding in the nervous system, embodied psychological insight, emotional clarity as posture and breath shift, structural ease and movement, and—when relevant—exploration of embodied themes of vitality, autonomy, and intimacy, supported by a clear and attuned professional frame.
What You May Experience
People often describe:
· feeling more grounded and present
· greater capacity to stay with themselves
· relief from chronic tension or holding patterns
· increased emotional regulation
· deeper access to rest, pleasure, and ease
· renewed clarity and direction
· increased embodiment in daily life and relationships
· greater ability to be with both comfort and discomfort without overwhelm.
Many experience the work as subtle yet transformative—a shift not only in the body, but in how they inhabit themselves.
“Integrative Touch brings together physiological regulation, structural support,
and psychological holding in a single, coherent field. It’s a way of meeting the body
as an intelligent partner in healing and growth.”
—Heath A. Wilson, Founder of 5aspects
Scope & Support
Integrative Touch:
· is paced according to your nervous system and life context
· avoids pushing past threshold or recreating overwhelm
· welcomes emotion, breath, and spontaneous insight as natural parts of the process
· respects trauma history without reenacting it—we begin and expand from wholeness
· flexes between table work, chair work, and relational/somatic dialogue as needed
This work is not emergency or crisis care and does not replace medical or physiotherapeutic treatment. It can, however, complement medical, psychological, and physiotherapeutic support by addressing how body, nervous system, and sense of self reorganize over time.
All touch and conversation remain within clear, professional, non-sexual boundaries.
Integrative Touch and Classic Rolfing
As a certified Rolfer®, I draw on the lineage of Structural Integration—its depth, precision, and understanding of fascia and gravity. Classic Rolfing® focuses primarily on physical alignment and structure.
Integrative Touch expands this work by including nervous-system regulation, psychological insight, and whole-person integration across all Five Aspects.
For those seeking purely structural work, classic Rolfing may be appropriate. We can explore together what best fits your needs.

Questions You Might Have
Integrative Touch is developmental bodywork, not psychotherapy—while remaining psychologically informed.
Conversation and reflection may arise naturally, but the primary medium is embodied experience. Talking is always optional and responsive to what the body is doing.
Most clients receive Integrative Touch in underwear, with clear draping at all times.
When helpful, sessions may also begin fully clothed, seated, or without table work. Comfort, dignity, and choice guide everything.
Yes. Integrative Touch is paced according to nervous-system capacity and current life context, with moment-to-moment attunement to subtle shifts in sensation, breath, posture, and response. Regulation, safety, and agency are foundational to the work, and guide every decision in the session.
Integrative Touch is professional, attuned bodywork focused on regulation, structural integrity, and embodied awareness. Experiences related to vitality, autonomy, or intimacy may arise and are met with care, clarity, and respect as part of the work.
Not at all. Many people begin simply with curiosity or a felt sense that something in the body wants attention.
Clarity often emerges through the work itself.
Some people come for a single session; others engage in a short series or an ongoing rhythm. We revisit pacing and intention together over time, based on your experience and goals.
While Integrative Touch draws from the depth and precision of Structural Integration, it also integrates nervous-system pacing, moment-to-moment attunement, and psychological insight—allowing the work to meet the whole person, not just structure.
