Trauma Release for Men
This treatment was designed by founder Maria Sarmiento. It facilitates a profound release of trauma throughout the body, providing a nervous system reset. Combining sports therapy, Thai massage, and Raynor massage, it works deeply through the body’s physical and energetic systems.
Trauma Release for Men
For men ready to reclaim their body, reset their system and restore what survival once cost them.
At Holistic Rising, we know that trauma is not simply remembered — it is held within the body. In posture, breath, nervous system responses, scar tissue and chronic tension. This work has been created for men who have carried the weight of endurance, protection and exhaustion, and who are now ready for a profound return to presence, strength and embodied resilience.
Delivered by Isaac — Trauma Specialist, Master’s-Trained Physiotherapist and Body-Based Healing Practitioner — this treatment unites clinical expertise with the powerful somatic trauma-release system developed at Holistic Rising.

For the warrior who kept going long after his body said stop.
Profile:
Physically drained, mentally worn, emotionally muted. A body running on empty. Moving through life with low reserves. Feeling heavy, numb or disconnected.
What This Work Delivers:
• Profound reawakening of energy and presence
• Restored connection to physical and emotional self
• Reset of exhaustion held in breath, muscle and nervous system tone
• A return to clarity, strength and embodied vitality
This is not gentle recovery — this is profound restoration. The moment the body stops surviving and starts living again.
For the body that has endured pain, procedures and clinical environments.
Profile:
Surgeries, injuries or long medical histories. Scar tissue, restriction, numbness or a sense of disconnection from parts of the body. A body that still holds memory, even when the mind has tried to move forward.
What This Work Delivers:
• Profound reconnection to areas once shut down or guarded
• Softening of scar and fascial restrictions
• Restored circulation, sensation and internal trust
• A renewed sense of bodily ownership, flow and resilience
Because true healing is not about forgetting the past — it is about freeing the body from repeating it.
For the protector who learned to stay alert to survive.
Profile:
Deep tension in the jaw, chest, shoulders and diaphragm. Shallow breathing. Fast reactions. A nervous system locked in ‘fight’ — always prepared, never fully settled.
What This Work Delivers:
• Profound release of survival-based holding patterns
• Nervous system regulation at the deepest level
• Restored breath, emotional safety and internal steadiness
• A transition from fight-mode to felt strength and personal agency
This is the reset your system has been waiting for — the moment protection becomes a conscious choice, not a default state.
The Result
A body that no longer carries survival like armour.
A mind no longer trapped in alert mode.
A nervous system that can finally stand down without shutting off or losing strength.
This is Profound Trauma Release for Men — delivered by a practitioner who understands trauma clinically, neurologically and somatically.
Led by Isaac. Supported alongside Maria Sarmiento. Rooted in the Holistic Rising Method.
Core Fascia Release
Men who are outwardly coping but internally overloaded. Their body and nervous system are still responsive to strong work, yet not ready for the deepest somatic unravelling.
Core Fascia Release
Layered Release
Men carrying both physical trauma and psychological or emotional layering. Their pain, tension, and stress patterns live equally in body and mind.
Layered Release
Profound Reclamation
Men holding complex, long-term, neuroimmune, neurological, or mobility-restricting trauma at the deepest physiological level. This level requires powerful work delivered slowly, safely, and respectfully.
