The Keel Session

A keel holds a vessel true, preventing it from drifting when the water turns unpredictable. Led by Tereqnce B, Certified Trauma-Informed Somatic Practitioner, The Keel Session applies Polyvagal nervous system principles across the upper torso, employing precise, symmetrical Shibari rope architecture across the chest, shoulders, and upper back. By meeting your body's natural pathways with steady, accredited line tension, this session creates a physical counter-structure that signals directly to an overstimulated nervous system that it is safe to stop bracing.

While larger offerings root the vessel downward, The Keel works laterally—opening the chest and ribs so breath can move freely through the lungs. Sustained line holds and subtle-reiki energy movement give tight fascial layers time to yield, releasing accumulated static and dropping shoulders away from the ears. Designed for targeted, rapid nervous system down-regulation, The Keel brings the upper vessel back into immediate alignment.

Each Keel is unique to each vessel. Not one container is the same. (Shown are concepts)
