The Hidden Language of Your Body: A Different Approach to Healing

Have you ever felt like you’re running in circles with your health? You’ve seen chiropractors, massage therapists, doctors, and physical therapists, yet that nagging pain or persistent issue won’t go away.

 You’re not alone. And there may be a deeper story your body is trying to tell.

Think about the last time you felt nervous or angry. That knot in your stomach. The racing heart. The rising blood pressure. Our bodies speak to us through these physical responses to emotions. But what happens when we push those feelings down instead of releasing them?

The Body Knows

Here’s a truth that traditional medicine often overlooks: our bodies hold onto unresolved emotions and trauma. When we don’t speak our truth or suppress our feelings, the impact doesn’t stay emotional; it becomes physical. This is why conventional approaches sometimes can’t provide lasting relief.

A Story of Transformation

Meet my friend and longtime client, Mathew Blades. We first crossed paths back in 2010 when he tried Ashiatsua’s barefoot massage technique, which I was offering at the time.

That single session evolved into years of collaborative work, encompassing massage, yoga, emotional release, and even joint ventures on retreats and wellness projects.

For 27 years, Mathew lived the dream life as a radio host in major cities nationwide. But behind the microphone, he was struggling with:

• Chronic pain
• Anxiety
• Panic attacks
• Shingles
• Severe depression

By the end of 2021, Mathew hit a breaking point. His body and mind were sending unmistakable signals that he needed change. He made the brave decision to step away from radio and commit to his healing journey, marking the beginning of what he calls his “Trauma Trilogy.”

Inside The Porter Method Session

In 2024, Mathew publicly shared his healing journey on his Learn From People Who Lived It podcast. He also allowed me to film his session with The Porter Method, the healing system I developed after decades of noticing patterns in my practice.

The Porter Method blends three powerful modalities:

• Emotional release work (Emotion Code techniques) to uncover and release suppressed patterns
• Restorative yoga to gently target stored tension in the hips, psoas, and thoracic outlet
• Energy healing (Reiki and cranial sacral therapy) to integrate emotional and physical shifts

During his session, Mathew uncovered how feelings of failure, indecisiveness, and pride had physically lodged in his body, especially in his shoulders and hips. Through supportive poses and energy integration, his body began to release what words alone could not.

Why This Approach Works

The Porter Method is effective because it addresses both the physical manifestation of pain and the emotional root cause behind it.

By combining multiple modalities, it creates a holistic pathway for the body to release old patterns and discover new balance.

And here’s something most people don’t realize: these sessions can be just as powerful virtually as they are in person. Energy work and emotional release don’t recognize distance, making remote sessions a life-changing option for those who can’t be in the room with me.

Could This Be Your Turning Point?

Mathew’s story is a reminder that our bodies are always speaking; we just have to learn how to listen. Whether you’re carrying the weight of stress, unresolved emotions, or physical pain that hasn’t responded to traditional treatments, there is another way forward.

If you’re curious about experiencing this work for yourself, I’d love to support you. Remote sessions are available worldwide and can open the same doors to release and renewal as in-person work.
