What makes Kelly Zarcone with Wild Rose Bodyworks a good neighbor?

Ever wondered why your body holds onto pain long after an injury heals, or why talk therapy sometimes hits a wall? The answers might lie in understanding how trauma physically manifests in our bodies.

Kelly Zarcone, licensed massage therapist and owner of Wild Rose Body Works, joins us with her five-month-old daughter Rowan to explore the fascinating world of somatic trauma therapy. Kelly shares how her own healing journey from chronic asthma led her to discover the profound connection between physical symptoms and emotional wounds. Drawing from advanced techniques like myofascial release and craniosacral therapy, she explains how these body-based interventions help clients release trauma patterns stored within their nervous systems.

What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Kelly's ability to bridge multiple worlds—blending insights from renowned trauma experts like Bessel van der Kolk with hands-on therapeutic techniques. She dispels common misconceptions about massage therapy, revealing how practitioners often specialize in diverse modalities to address complex healing needs. Kelly also candidly discusses her recent childbirth experience, sharing how it deepened her appreciation for the body's innate wisdom and sparked interest in expanding her practice to support pregnant women.

Whether you've struggled with unresolved trauma, chronic pain, or simply feel stuck in your healing journey, this episode offers fresh perspective on how our bodies hold our stories. Kelly's compassionate approach reminds us that true healing often requires addressing both mind and body. Ready to explore beyond traditional talk therapy?
