bodywork

therapeutic massage

This personally-tailored offering utilizes a variety of techniques — Swedish relaxation and orthopedic techniques, shiatsu, Thai massage, myofascial release, trigger point release, and more — to relieve your mind of stresses and your body of aches and tension. Activating the parasympathetic nervous system will help me in my work, and you in relaxing into the healing process.

perinatal massage

An offering of therapeutic massage, specifically focused on relieving the discomfort and stress in your body as you navigate your pregnancy journey; including the “fourth trimester” or the postpartum phase. Relaxation and feeling ease in your body is not only deserved, but also promotes healthy development of baby.

cupping therapy

Originating from Traditional Chinese Medicine, this offering uses suction cups, combined with some manual work to release stiff fascia, sore muscles, and tension. Longer sessions can work on more areas or involve more manual work, including shiatsu techniques. This is offered as an add-on to therapeutic massage sessions or as its own session.

focus sessions

In therapeutic massage therapy, areas connected to the sore spot (and ideally the whole body) are also treated. This limited offering is meant to be more accessible while maximizing your time and specifically targeting an area that has been really bothering you lately! Sessions can be on the chair or table, depending on the client’s preference.

bodywork add-ons

deep tissue massage

Deep tissue massage doesn’t always mean DEEP pressure and 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.

energywork

reiki energy healing

An offering of gentle yet potent energy healing founded by Japanese Buddhist lay practitioner, Mikao Usui. This tool that can help us re-calibrate our health and wellbeing, also has the potential to activate and support you in the transmutative and transformative processes of your healing journey. In-person and remote options available.

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.

Available as an add-on for any in-person service
