Massage Services
I love crafting each session to beautifully suit your body’s needs on a given day; whether the goal is to relax and rejuvenate, or address specific sources of pain and injury.
This typically looks like slow, deep, specific work, allowing the muscles to release~ feeling for lines of tension, adhesion, and scar tissue within the soft tissues. I love pairing this with passive movement and mobility techniques. I will listen to your verbal and non-verbal cues, muscle tissues, and breath to find your perfect pressure and session flow. This work is effective, centering, nourishing, and in tune with your needs to both treat your body's aches, and help you feel more embodied.
MODALITIES
-
This session is a synergistic blend of Swedish flow, deep specific work, and any other modality within my toolbox as most effective to have you walk out feeling more free in your body, centered, rejuvenated and inspired.
Swedish modality blends long, gliding strokes with kneading, and tissue release to reduce tension, improve circulation, and ease the nervous system. Swedish massage is highly relaxing and creates an overall sense of well-being, restoring restfulness of the body, mind, and spirit.
To this baseline, I will work with your site specific needs, finding and helping melt knots and lines of tension. Breath is encouraged to help your tissues relax… unless you’re deeply napping.

This is a focused treatment session using a combination of Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT), Myofascial Release, and Sports Massage, all tied together with intuitive flow. This typically looks like slow, deep, specific work, allowing the muscles to release~ feeling for lines of tension, adhesion, and scar tissue within the soft tissues. After hearing your needs and treatment goals for the session, we will typically choose 1-2 areas to focus on and thoroughly address. A session might include some visual assessment before the session, as well as tips for stretching and strengthening exercises afterwards to help you reach your treatment goals.
Deep Tissue and NMT are effective for addressing acute and chronic pain due to past injuries, repetitive motions, or misalignment. Sports Massage enhances performance through increasing flexibility, improving circulation, speeding recovery rates, relaxing the mind, increasing muscular power by reducing restrictions, and preventing sports injury.

(30, 60min or 75min offerings only. 30 min~$50)
This is a combination of Shiatsu, a Japanese form of massage that works off the meridian system and combines compression, traction, passive stretch, and acupressure… and Thai Massage with a big focus on stretching, compression and range of motion.
The session is crafted on the massage table, with the recipient wearing loose, comfortable clothing.

I offer a sliding scale upon, in hopes that price is not a barrier to receiving bodywork. It is important to me that this work is accessible to those who seek it.
Sliding Scale Price starts at 50% of the session price. (If I have funds available from a donated session, the scale could start at $0!)
The sliding scale is available upon request~ just reach out via email or telephone, let me know your service of interest, and I’ll book you!

PRICING
SESSION add-ons
CUPPING and/or Gua Sha | $0- complimentary
Cupping, a widely used Eastern Medicine technique has been found to be an effective form of Myofascial and soft tissue release. The cups create a focused lift in the tissues, allowing the release of compressed adhesions, activating the lymphatic system, removing stagnated blood and toxins, and encouraging the flow of new blood in order to release muscle tension. Cupping is effective, safe, and can be added to any massage treatment to enhance its results. Gua Sha uses a “scraping” tool to break up metabolic waste and blood stagnation. There will be skin discoloration where these techniques are performed.
ROOM RESERVATION | $15
Want to have a few extra moments to relax and hang in the space before moving along after session? You can have the room to yourself, enjoy some tea, cozy up with a book, utilize the art or journaling supplies, stretch out and center in any way you'd like.
REFLEXOLOGY WARMING TREATMENT | $15
This treatment focuses on a luxurious foot rub, including reflexology techniques, nourishing herbal foot balms, and warm towels to help soften and refresh.
