A Little About Susan
I’m Susan Bell, LMT, a licensed massage therapist with over 12 years of experience. Located in Plano, TX, I specialize in nervous system treatment, vagus nerve reset, cranial work, and stress-pattern release, along with advanced medical massage modalities. My background includes years of providing pain relief and therapeutic bodywork, with a growing focus on the effects of trauma, stress, and nervous system dysregulation on the body. My goal is to serve as a reliable somatic support to complement the trauma therapy you’re already engaged in—never to replace it.
My Therapeutic Nervous System Reset sessions are designed specifically to:
As a licensed massage therapist, I can help downshift chronic fight-or-flight and freeze states, reducing nervous system-driven symptoms such as muscle tension, ‘buzzing’ anxiety, shallow breathing, and feelings of shut-down. By incorporating trauma therapy techniques, we support trauma processing by giving the body a felt sense of safety and grounding.
Therapeutic Nervous System Reset can help by:
Encouraging parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) dominance through nervous system treatment helps clients have a repeatable somatic experience of safety. This approach, often employed by a licensed massage therapist, makes it easier for them to access insight, memory, and emotional processing without overwhelm. Furthermore, it offers a concrete, trackable way to address ongoing dysregulation between counseling sessions, enhancing the effectiveness of trauma therapy.
Most counselors use this service for clients who are:
Dealing with PTSD, chronic stress, anxiety, or burnout can be challenging, especially when symptoms manifest as somatic distress like chest tightness, gastrointestinal issues, and chronic pain linked to stress. Many find themselves feeling 'stuck' despite having good insight and attending regular therapy sessions. For caregivers and helpers who are emotionally exhausted, seeking the assistance of a licensed massage therapist can be a vital part of nervous system treatment, while also complementing trauma therapy to foster healing and relief.
