What is Dearmouring?

What is Dearmouring?

Dearmouring is a therapeutic practice focused on releasing chronic tension, emotional blockages, and physical contractions that have accumulated in the body. The word "dearmouring" literally means "removing the armor" - referring to the protective mechanisms we develop in response to stress, trauma, and emotional pain.

"

The body holds everything the mind could not process.

"

This "armor" manifests as chronic muscle tension, diminished sensitivity, and a limited capacity to experience joy and intimacy. Through specific touch, breathwork, and awareness techniques, dearmouring helps people safely dissolve these layers of protection and reconnect with their natural vitality and authentic self.

Een onvergetelijke, diepe truffelsessie Wat een ongelooflijke ervaring. De truffelsessie was intens, warm en diep helend. Vanaf het begin voelde ik me veilig door de fijne, liefdevolle begeleiding. Alles klopte: de sfeer, de rust, de oprechte aandacht. De muziek was prachtig gekozen en raakte precies de juiste lagen en thema's – het hielp me echt om dieper te voelen en los te laten. Ik heb waardevolle inzichten gekregen die nog lang zullen nawerken. Dankbaar voor deze reis, voor de ruimte om te mogen zijn, te voelen en te groeien. Een ervaring die ik iedereen gun die openstaat voor innerlijk werk. Met heel mijn hart: dankjewel. 🌿💫

Bij Woodst in Zevenhuizen voelde ik me vanaf het eerste moment veilig en vertrouwd. De rustgevende sfeer en de warme ontvangst zorgden ervoor dat ik me direct op mijn gemak voelde. De aandacht voor detail en de zorgvuldige uitleg voor de sessie gaven me vertrouwen in de professionaliteit van Joris. Ik had het voorrecht om een ‘dearmouring’ massage te ervaren, en het was een bijzondere ervaring. Joris heeft met aandacht en deskundigheid mij begeleidt in het loslaten van blokkades in mijn lichaam. Na de sessie merkte ik niet alleen fysieke verlichting, maar ook emotionele ontspanning.

Een mooie cacao bliss ceremonie mogen meemaken in de Yurt bij Woodst. Hele fijne warme begeleiding. Goed afgestemt op ieders wensen. Er is ontzettend goed voor ons gezorgd. Ik heb weer veel over mezelf mogen leren in alle veiligheid die de begeleiding en de omgeving mij gaf. Er was ruimte voor een lach en een traan, super bijzondere ervaring. Dankjewel!

Ik heb via een Instagramactie een dearmouring behandeling van Joris mogen ontvangen. De sessie vond plaats in een yurt in de natuur, wat een vrije en rustige omgeving biedt om naar binnen te keren. Daarnaast werd een microdosis aangeboden om het proces te verdiepen. Voorafgaand aan de sessie neemt Joris de tijd om naar je verwachtingen te vragen en na de tijd om de ervaringen te delen. Bijzonder om dit te ervaren!
