What is TVM?
TVM is a body-based modality which builds the architecture of safety.
Safety is the key to re-patterning trauma.
Trauma is the locked door against the life you’re dreaming of.
Using TVM, practitioners facilitate safety through listening to the consciousness of the body of their clients. Engaging with the body’s fascia, within it’s boundaries. Flooding the whole system with therapeutic levels of oxytocin, rewiring trauma to safety. Guiding the nervous system between sympathetic and parasympathetic states, building vagal tone by reminding the body it has survived past events. Practitioners co-regulation safely guides their clients nervous system through the intensity of the past, back to the safety of the present moment.

I came to Crystal Rainbow when I was in full nervous system shutdown. My symptoms were so intense that I ended up in the ER…
genuinely believing something was seriously wrong with me — when in reality, it was severe anxiety and disregulation.
Through the Triple Vagal Method™, Crystal Rainbow helped me regulate my nervous system in a way I hadn’t been able to do on my own. Her sessions are grounding, calming, and incredibly supportive. Beyond the physical regulation, her words, affirmations, and guidance are deeply reassuring and helped me feel safe in my body again.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, out of control, or stuck in anxiety, I truly can’t recommend Crystal Rainbow enough. Her work is powerful, compassionate, and genuinely healing!My sessions with Crystal Rainbow were very fulfilling. She applied an insightful and nuanced approach to help me explore deeper-rooted memories and issues in my life. As a self-admitted perfectionist always driven to “succeed” in everything, I have often found myself on autopilot in all aspects of my life, always telling myself that I have to complete a preset list to achieve things. Crystal Rainbow helped me unpack this in just a few sessions, and helped me begin to re-frame my perspective on my career, personal relationships, and my self image.

If you are curious about TVM™ and its effectiveness, I can't recommend Crystal Rainbow Mort enough. Just try it for yourself!
I've worked with a lot of modalities and practitioners over the course of two decades of personal trauma-healing work. I've done talk therapy, hypnotherapy, EMDR, yoga, meditation, and others.
Though all have their merits, none of these matches the depth of healing and release I have experience with TVM practitioner, Crystal Rainbow Mort. First of all, the modality itself is powerful. More importantly, Crystal Rainbow is very skilled in the practice. From our first visit, she was both professional and compassionate. She put me at ease as she learned about my history and presenting issues.
By the time the actual session began I felt very comfortable and safe. The session itself was incredible. In just one session, I felt my body letting go of years of tension and the residual stress of past traumas. I felt light and joyful as I left her practice space.
Subsequent sessions have been just as powerful and I feel layers of remaining trauma response being dissolved much more quickly than I thought possible. I feel more energy, less stress in my body, and more emotionally balanced as we continue our work together. I'm looking forward to more sessions.
If you are curious about TVM and its effectiveness, I can't recommend Crystal Rainbow Mort enough. Just try it for yourself!

The Triple Vagal Method™
The Triple Vagal Method™ is a body-based somatic trauma transformation method that aims to release and heal trauma by increasing vagal tone through physical manipulation of the main branches of the vagus nerve. TVM™ was developed after 9 years of applied research and thousands of documented sessions and is currently undergoing studies for medical documentation.
TVM is a modality which facilitates trauma re-patterning and embodiment through engaging the fascia of the body. We know the body is conscious and we interact with it this way. We flood the system with oxytocin, creating safety. We move the nervous system through its range of motion, building vagal tone. We maintain presence as the trauma is released and neuroplasticity takes place, rewriting the mind body connection to survived and safe.
Why is this useful?
Decreases Anxiety
Decreases Distraction and Increases Mental Clarity
Alleviates Chronic Pain
Rewires Unhealthy Mental Patterns
Rapid Healing Of Depression & Suicidal Thoughts
Releases Physical and Emotional Trauma
Transforms Addictions & Addictive Patterns
Heals Excessive Anger
Attunes the Nervous System to Relaxation and Safety
Decreases PTSD and ADHD Symptoms
Does Not Re-Activate Past Trauma
ABOUT THE TRIPLE VAGAL METHOD™
-
Trauma is a memory stored in our body through our nervous system for self preservation.
It results from an event, series of events, or set of circumstances that is experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or life threatening.
This can have lasting adverse effects on our functioning and mental, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
-
Fight, flight, and freeze responses are designed to protect the individual from perceived threats. However, when the trauma is not fully processed—due to its overwhelming nature or lack of immediate coping resources—its imprint can linger in the body. This is often described through the lens of "body memory," where the body holds onto traumatic experiences, even when specific memories might not be consciously accessible.
Some of the most common symptoms of trauma trapped in the body are anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, fear, overwhelm, avoidance, mood swings, sleep disturbances, digestive issues, hyper or hypo arousal, chronic pain and autoimmune disorders.
Unlike animals in the wild, humans no longer have access to their instinctual ways of discharging the trauma, so it remains within our bodies and can be extremely detrimental to physical, emotional, and mental health.
-
TVM is a quantum modality which creates a sense of great safety for our clients through flooding the body with therapeutic levels of oxytocin and co-regulation with the therapist.
We work together to strengthen the body’s resilience to stress and trauma. Using gentle touch we remind the nervous system how to fluidly move between sympathetic and parasympathetic responses, thus building vagal tone, the cornerstone of a healthy nervous system!
Using The Triple Vagal Method I help you feel safe in your body, so it can switch through nervous system states, back and forth. The combination of these allows for the trauma stored in your body to move through and out. What this means is you finally feel safe in your body.
With a high vagal tone you will become more resilient to everyday stresses and challenges. You will then be able to resolve these experiences as they occur in real time. -
Clients will come to our clinical setting in comfortable-fitting clothes. Before the first session, we will have an intake conversation where we will go over the treatment process, and your practitioner will learn about traumatic experiences that may have been stored in your body, as much or as little as you are comfortable sharing. We will also learn what current practices and habits may be supporting or inhibiting your healthy nervous system, and finally, we will answer any questions you may have. Then the treatment will begin on the massage table, where clients will remain fully clothed throughout the treatment.
The Triple Vagal Method™ has been a rewarding, eye-opening experience for me. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an alternative to traditional physical/psychological treatments!
