deep tissue massage

Deep tissue massage doesn’t always mean pain. The “deep” refers to working out trigger points (“knots”) and adhesions in the fascia to relieve tension and aches. In this offering, I apply pressure and techniques at your pace and comfort to relieve the tension in your body.

scalp & neck focus

Who doesn’t love a good scalp and neck massage? As our necks and shoulders hunch over in our day-to-day life, this building tension can contribute to chronic headaches, pain in the jaw (TMJD), and neck and shoulder pain. Add some time dedicated to giving your neck, shoulders, and head some T.L.C.

feet & hands focus

These small parts of our body support so much of our day-to-day living — whether you’re on your feet all day, or doing repetitive hand movements like typing, painting, or prepping food . In TCM, the feet and hands (and ears) are microcosms for the whole body. This is a little treat for these small yet crucial parts of our body.

ear seeds

This offering is based on the NADA acupuncture protocol created by Dr. Mutulu Shakur. It was used by the Black Panthers and the Young Lords to combat drug addiction, anxiety, stress, and the lingering effects of (intergenerational) trauma in the South Bronx community in the 1970s. This offering does not use needles and instead uses a small seed or bead on a small tape to stimulate NADA points.
