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.

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.
