Mental Health Awards 2023

17 GHP Mental Health Awards 2023 Cryo Massage is based in the Northwest of England and offers the unique body-based approach to releasing and resolving stress and trauma in the form of Stress & Trauma Resolution Therapy (STRT). The company’s founder, Jan Normanton is passionate about this type of work, so she offers various types of bodywork that support clients with their mental, physical, emotional, energetic, relational, and spiritual health. tress & Trauma Resolution Therapy (STRT) is a new mind/ body therapy that supports the reduction of challenging symptoms in clients that can be the result of stress, trauma, and anxiety. This therapy uses a combination of a unique type of massage therapy, listening, and coaching skills by the experienced, caring presence of Jan Normanton. Jan recovered from her own personal developmental traumas and decades of C-PTSD, through this embodied healing practice. She trained and studied, gaining years of experience in this field of work, and she went on to open cryo massage. Jan is able to provide clients with more than knowledge, but also a deep understanding through personal experience that helps her connect with her clients on an emotional level while supporting them to process their traumas in safety. This is why it comes as no surprise that cryo massage has received the title for Best Stress & Trauma Resolution Therapy Provider 2023 - North West England. STRT specifically supports clients to release trauma, chronic or acute stress, anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, and more through this unique approach comprising massage, active listening, and coaching. This embodied form of therapy gets to the root, which in most clients is nervous system dysregulation, as well as dealing with the symptoms. The nervous system controls every aspect of our lives, ultimately. It is our internal GPS, determining constantly whether we are in danger or safe and communicating this to the brain via the vagus nerve. Through historical traumatic events as well as ongoing, chronic stress, the nervous system can get locked into a state of feeling unsafe, even if there is no danger present. Significantly, the nervous system knows no verbal language – it responds to the senses including notably touch, and through the safe, consensual, informed, expert touch, and specific movements of STRT. As a result, the nervous system can be regulated and enables relief for the client. What clients receive in an STRT session is a whole transformative experience. cryo massage is a place where they feel secure enough to self-express, to share their issues in confidence, to feel heard, witnessed, and validated fully. Jan shares simple effective practices and content rich information to support clients outside of their sessions, such as breathing practices and signposting to relevant knowledge, to continue their work and enhance greater resilience in clients. The range of conditions that Jan has helped with is wide and covers: easing tightness, tension, and pain in the body to allow for increased range of motion, greater flexibility, and mobility; shifting an overactive stressed out mind to expansion, calm, and clarity of thought; freeing emotional turbulence up to inner peace and relief or from numbness to inspiration and creativity; restoring depleted energy levels; and a renewed sense of self, purpose, and meaning to life for those who may have lost faith. An example of how this therapy has worked includes a young teacher developing a stutter to the point of being unable to speak coherently through aggregated trauma and overwhelm. She was sent home from school following a breakdown. After one session, her usual speech returned. Another was a woman experiencing ongoing chronic trauma and stress, being the main carer to her husband who had a brain injury which was also affecting his behaviour to the point of him being admitted to a secure unit. This client receives regular sessions to recalibrate her nervous system as she spends most of her waking life and nights in hypervigilance, stress, and exhaustion, not knowing what next. Her treatments enable her to feel able to deal with her challenges with far greater resilience. Ultimately, Jan has a passion for helping clients come home to themselves, to feel that blessed relief that they are okay in and of themselves, how they may connect with their true essence through the power of touch, how this enables them to relate better to themselves, and to show up as the best version of themselves in their life and for their loved ones. STRT gives clients a chance to live and thrive, instead of just surviving. Cryo Massage has already changed the lives of many; it could also change yours.
