I offer four primary services for personal healing: Custom Therapeutic Massage for all stages of life, Prenatal Massage, Natural Labor Induction, and Somatic Tarot Readings. All therapeutic massage sessions are trauma informed and catered specifically to the individual needs of the client, many of whom have been receiving from me for nearly two decades. I approach the body from a holistic perspective, recognizing that the distressing events we navigate can both consciously and subconsciously inform and shape our lived experience in the body. Left unaddressed, trauma and/or chronic stress may contribute to a felt sense of mental restlessness, physical tension, pain, immune suppression, and structural imbalance. As both a treatment and preventative measure, I use therapeutic bodywork to cultivate personal safety for clients. Together we can facilitate palpable stress reduction, tension release, trauma remediation, and healthful integration.

Custom Therapeutic Massage

Custom therapeutic massage sessions combine a blend of both deep tissue compressions and an array of relaxing techniques for the nervous system. I pull from many areas of expertise in bodywork modalities to create a unique treatment for each client. After a thorough intake of open communication, we will create a session design that best suits your personal needs. My style of bodywork is attentive and ideal for diminishing physical discomfort for those that may otherwise feel helpless in their bodies. By creating and maintaining a safe space we are free to gently yet boldly address underlying trauma. Therapeutic bodywork sessions will treat and prevent an accumulation of stress in the body, identify acute injury, and help to support any ongoing pain management. Together we can cultivate an experience of personal agency within the body. Blending both a relaxing and a deeper, intentional touch can leave your body/mind feeling integrated, rested, rejuvenated, and whole.

Prenatal Massage

Prenatal massage sessions are very similar to my custom therapeutic massages, only carefully tailored to the ever-changing needs of a pregnant woman's body. I am highly educated and specifically trained in the many intricacies of each stage of pregnancy and labor, as well as the various health conditions that may be associated with pregnancy. Prenatal massage is an excellent way to effectively address aches and pains (both nerve and musculoskelatal) that occur as a result of the body's constant shifts during pregnancy. In addition to the benefits of custom therapeutic massage, outcomes of prenatal massage include the reduction of swelling and blood pressure, varicose veins, and the potential development of painful vascular conditions. Ultimately, prenatal massage helps the mother experience an overall sense of well being.

Natural Labor Induction

Beginning as early as the 38th week of gestation through the 41st or 42nd week, I use a firm pressure on very specific acupressure points to encourage the softening and effacement of the cervix, help attune the body to its natural rhythm for productive contractions, and bring the mind of the mother into a state of calm awareness for her impending childbirth. For many of my clients this powerful work initiates the birth process without the need of medical intervention.

Somatic Tarot Readings

Before receiving the physical relief and relaxation associated with massage, many of my clients choose to first seek deeper guidance through the insights of a tarot reading. As part of your personal reading, we'll explore how the powerful archetypes of your card pull are presently working to support you; both on your personal path and in our following bodywork session. Tarot card readings, in addition to receiving bodywork, create the space for a unique ritual of embodiment. Readings may be in person or remote through FaceTime or Google Hangouts. Pricing is $60 for a 45 minute reading or $50 if you receive the reading in addition to a massage. Just like my bodywork practice, tarot readings are soul centered, trauma informed, uniquely tailored to your personal needs, and inclusive to all stage of life.
