Energy Clearing & Trauma Release
Intuitive bodywork sessions with Tia Marcuzzi - Coming soon to Perth, WA. Stay tuned for updates.
Your body has been trying to tell you something.
People come to me stuck. In pain, low on energy, exhausted in a way they can't explain. Frustrated. Overwhelmed. Sometimes embarrassed that they haven't been able to sort it out themselves. Often confused about what's actually going on — because what they feel in their body doesn't always match what's happening in their life.
When I meet them, they don't know what to do about it. But they are open and willing to try a new approach.
Your body isn't broken. It's communicating. And it has been for a while.
Energy Clearing and Trauma Release with Tia Marcuzzi is a bodywork method I've developed over 16 years — a layered, intuitive approach that works across the physical, emotional, energetic and soul levels simultaneously. It isn't massage. It isn't energy work or counselling alone. It's something that listens — to where you're holding, what you're carrying, and what your body has been waiting to release.
People are often amazed by how much shifts in a single session.
What I Work With
The people I work with come with all kinds of things.
Some arrive with something physical — chronic pain, headaches that keep returning, an old injury. Some come with emotional pain they don't know how to be with — grief, anxiety, a heaviness of heart. Some are deeply stressed, out of sorts, running on empty. Some feel completely disconnected from their body — not at home in it, treating it unkindly, not liking it very much.
Often there's a gap between what someone thinks about their body and what they actually feel inside it. That gap is usually where the real work begins.
Some come after a diagnosis — a serious illness, a health scare — and are ready to work at a deeper level than medicine alone can reach. Some are struggling in their relationships and sense, even if they can't explain it, that the answer lives somewhere in the body.
What they're all looking for, underneath everything, is relief. Some clarity. And what I see again and again is that once someone is on the table — really allowing themselves to feel what's true for them — that clarity arrives. The body knows. It's been waiting for the space to say so, and someone who knows how to listen.
Here's what I see happen.
People get off the table and say they feel lighter. Every time. The tension they came in with — in their shoulders, their chest, their jaw — has softened. They feel a level of relaxation and care they don't normally allow themselves to receive. And they look different — visibly. More vibrant, more open, more connected to themselves. Sometimes they catch their own reflection and are amazed and delighted too.
Some leave with a quiet sense of peace. Some leave excited. Sometimes both at once.
Even after a single session people tell me they slept better than they have in a long time. Limbs that were painful or restricted move more freely. Energy that had been flat for months starts to return.
Over time the changes deepen. Emotional burdens they'd been carrying lift — not all at once, but steadily, session by session. Issues that had been stuck for a long time start to resolve. They become more grounded in their body than they've ever felt. More present. More themselves.
And then something else starts to happen. They begin making changes in their lives — tackling things that felt too hard before, doing things differently, moving towards what they actually want. The clarity that arrived on the table starts showing up everywhere.
The physical and the emotional aren't separate in this work. When the body releases tension, something else releases with it. When the nervous system finds safety, everything starts to settle.
People are often surprised that so much was connected.
A Note on Trauma
Trauma isn't always what people think it is.
It doesn't have to be a single dramatic event. Trauma is anything that has left a mark on the body — an experience of physical, emotional or mental distress that the nervous system couldn't fully process at the time. It can come from childhood, from adult experiences, from relationships, from illness. It can come from your birth. It can even come from your ancestral line — patterns and wounds carried in the body across generations.
Most people walking around with trauma don't call it that. They call it tension. Anxiety. A bad back. Feeling stuck. Not quite being able to move forward. The body has been holding something and nobody has told them that it can be released. That's what this work does.
Through intuitive bodywork and energy clearing I facilitate the release of stored trauma at every level — physical, emotional, energetic and soul. Whether I'm working on a foot, a tight chest, or something that has no clear physical cause, so much of what we're moving through together is trauma the body has been quietly carrying. Session by session it lifts.
You don't need to know what yours is. You don't need to have a name for it or a story about it. Your body knows. And that's enough to begin.
A note on sexual trauma:
My work can support people who have experienced sexual trauma — reducing symptoms and helping you recontextualise what your body has been through, so you can feel more empowered in it. This is not sexological bodywork and I do not work directly with sexual trauma through touch. But the body-level shifts that happen in our sessions can be profound, and many people find significant relief.

What a Session Looks Like
We start with a gentle conversation — what's brought you here, what you're hoping for, anything you want me to know. There's no rush. We go at your pace entirely.
Every session is completely unique. I don't follow a script or a set sequence — I follow you. What your body needs on any given day guides everything.
Sessions can be done over clothes or directly on the skin with undergarments on. If you carry a safety wound around your body or being touched, we honour that completely. Nothing happens before you're ready.
Once you're on the table I work intuitively — scanning your body energetically to sense where attention is needed first. This isn't always where you'd expect. Someone might come in with a foot issue and I'll begin behind the knee or at the ribs, because that's where the body is asking to be met. I feel into it rather than following a formula.
As the session unfolds we work together — almost like detectives, tracing what's held and where it wants to go. I'll talk through what I'm sensing, and you're welcome to share what's arising for you. Sometimes there are lighter moments too. Laughter has its own way of shifting things.
And if at some point you simply want to close your eyes and receive — to tune out completely and let the healing do its work — that's not just welcome, it's encouraged.
The work is trauma informed, which means we move gently and never push past what your nervous system is ready for. The goal isn't to force a release — it's to create the conditions where your body feels safe enough to let go on its own terms.
That's when the real unwinding begins.
Tia is a very intuitive therapist who blends her insightful mind, her healing hands and her perceptive heart. She is a great listener who offers warm enthusiasm balanced with a realistic outlook. I was left feeling a weight was lifted from my shoulders and the shifts I made in the session have really stayed with me. I am feeling gung ho, more grounded and much more proactive in my life.
David N
A long-running muscle problem from an arm injury in my teens had in the last few months started to become acute. I went along for a session with Tia and was amazed at how accurately she somehow knew or could sense where the tension points and lines were and exactly how much pressure and focus to use to shift and heal the physical pain. It was almost uncanny. My arm was so much better afterwards where nothing else has seemed to help at all.
Arven
After my session with Tia, I felt amazing, happy, like a weight was lifted from my body. I was free of pain in my gut and head and also free of fear. I was more relaxed yet had more energy. Try her out — she is fantastic!

I will be forever grateful to Tia and I hope to be able to continue to work with her. Tracy is incredibly gifted at what she does and works with kindness, humour, grace and ease.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Energy Clearing & Trauma Release Bodywork and how is it different from massage?
While I incorporate nurturing touch and — when working directly on the skin — elements of massage, this work goes much deeper than massage alone. I'm reading your body intuitively, sensing where energy is blocked or held, and working across the physical, emotional, energetic and soul levels simultaneously to release what's underneath the physical symptoms. The touch creates safety and connection — but it's the intuitive energy work and trauma release that creates the lasting change.
What modalities is this work based on?
This work draws on over 16 years of training and practice across multiple disciplines — energetic and spiritual healing from my two years at the Berkeley Psychic Institute in the USA, Chi Nei Tsang bodywork techniques (a branch of Chinese medicine working with the fascia and flow of energy through the body systems), kinesiology, neuroscience, polyvagal theory, counselling and coaching. I am trauma informed and bring everything I've learned — including my own extensive healing journey — into every session.
Do I need to have experienced trauma to benefit?
Not at all. Many people come with physical pain, low energy, stress or a general sense of being stuck — without any clear idea of what's causing it. Trauma is simply anything the body is still holding from a past experience. You don't need to know what yours is or have a name for it. Your body knows, and that's enough.
How will I know if this is right for me?
Trust what you're sensing. If something in you recognised itself on this page — that's worth paying attention to. If you'd like to talk it through before booking, you're welcome to reach out. I'll get a sense of what you need and whether what I offer is the right fit.
Are sessions of an intimate or sexual nature?
This work can be personal and intimate in nature — as any therapy that works closely with the body can be. But it is not sexual and does not involve genital touch. I work predominantly with the energy field and how energy is flowing through the whole body. Touch is one way, from practitioner to client, and the degree of intimacy is always geared towards what is comfortable, appropriate and healing for you. My boundaries and yours will always be respected. I bring integrity, humility and emotional maturity to this work — and I ask for the same in return. Please do not contact me if you are looking for sexual services.
Do you offer concession pricing?
Yes — concession rates are available for those who need them. Please mention this when you reach out and we'll find something that works.
Where are you based and when are you available?
I am currently based in Perth, Western Australia and am building my practice here. I return to Melbourne — where I worked for many years — several times a year, seeing clients in Ivanhoe. If you're in Perth or Melbourne and would like to be notified of upcoming availability, get in touch and I'll add you to my list.
What should I wear / how do I prepare?
Come as you are — there's no special preparation needed. If we're working over clothes, something comfortable and light is ideal so you can relax fully on the table. If we're working directly on the skin, you'll keep your undergarments on and be covered throughout. I'll talk you through everything before we begin so you always know what to expect.
Do you work with men?
Absolutely — and in my experience men respond extraordinarily well to this work. Many men have rarely had the opportunity to truly feel, to be held and supported without agenda. The sensitive, caring touch in a safe and completely non-sexual environment can be profound — sometimes surprisingly so. Over many years of working with men I've developed a specific understanding of what they need and how to guide them through the process. If you're a man considering this work and not sure what to expect, you're very welcome to reach out before booking.
What if I cry or have an emotional response on the table?
It's completely welcome — all of it. Tears, sounds, laughter, whatever needs to come through. I've had people cry, shout, whimper, giggle — sometimes all in the same session. Emotional responses are not something to manage or suppress on my table, they're part of the release. Sound in particular is a powerful way to move trauma through the body, and I actively encourage it. Whatever comes up is welcome. That's exactly what the space is for.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on you — how aligned you feel with the work, how much you want to shift and how often you'd like to come. Some people come weekly, others fortnightly, monthly or even every six months. There's no set program or pressure to commit to anything. At the end of your first session I'll give you a personal recommendation based on what I've sensed in the work — what your body is ready for and what I feel could serve you most. From there it's entirely your call.
Tia's sessions have changed my life in ways I never thought imaginable. I've had a long journey of self-discovery after leaving a highly stressful role, and Tia has been an invaluable guide over 2 years supporting me during that transition.
The level of skill, kindness, and expertise that Tia provides is incredible. I feel more connected to my self, have greatly improved my relationship with my son and partner and have awakened a writer in me! She has also resolved many niggly physical conditions that weren't resolved through other modalities. I am so grateful for the healing and coaching that Tia has brought into my life and definitely recommend her.
