The Power of Gentle Touch + 🧠 Nervous System Facts
-
Your skin is wired for connection. Specialized nerve fibers (C-tactile afferents) respond to gentle touch—not pressure—sending signals to the brain’s emotional centers.
👉 Translation: Gentle touch literally soothes the soul.
-
Touch activates your “rest and digest” mode. Gentle, rhythmic touch—like light nail strokes—stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to lower heart rate, reduce stress hormones, and support healing and mood regulation.
-
Gentle touch boosts oxytocin. Known as the “bonding hormone,” oxytocin is released during soft, affectionate touch—promoting feelings of calm, connection, and emotional safety.
👉 Think: hugs, petting a dog, or cuddling a baby.
-
Scratching can trigger ASMR. That calming, tingly sensation some people feel from soft sounds or touch is real—and linked to brain regions that promote relaxation, reward, and sleep.
👉 Our nail-based body brushing offers natural ASMR without headphones.
-
Touch supports mental wellness. Just 20 seconds of soft, non-sexual touch daily can ease anxiety, improve mood, reduce isolation, and help regulate trauma responses—especially for those with ADHD, PTSD, or emotional stress.
AND THUS - Why I Do This & Why I Come to You
The Art of Scratch was born out of something we all miss as adults: the calming, tingling, soul-soothing power of touch—the kind that makes your whole nervous system go ahhhh. I do this because we’re starved for soft in a world that’s hard. This is my gift, and I share it with those who need it—especially the ones who don’t know they do.
And yes—I bring the scratch to you. I’m a mobile practitioner, serving clients in the comfort of their own space.

Preparation
Take a warm shower prior to your session, this will help you relax as well as alleviate any hygiene insecurities.
Prior to your appointment, we kindly request you to be prepared to discuss any physical conditions you may have and specify areas you would like us to focus on during the body-scratching session. To ensure the utmost attention to your needs, I will arrive 5-15 minutes before your scheduled time. This extra time allows for a 10-minute consultation and dressing, ensuring your session is fully dedicated to you.
Get Comfortable
After addressing the crucial aspects, it's now time to lay on a lavish floor mat, for a soothing experience.
To enhance the ambiance, calming music and incense may be used, and you have the liberty to engage in conversation as much or as little as you desire. This is your moment of body revival, tailored to your preferences and comfort.
Helping You Feel Better
Still thinking WHY A SCRATCH?
Discover the Benefits of a Scratch:
Experience the release of endorphins that can alleviate pain and uplift your mood. Moreover, scratching triggers the brain to release serotonin, fostering mood stability and enhancing feelings of happiness and well-being. Serotonin's significance extends to the proper functioning of your digestive system and sleep cycles. Embrace this decision, and your body will thank you for it.
