HELLO AND WELCOME!
I am a believer that all bodies benefit from bodywork and massage. Touch is an extremely valuable part of the human experience and our daily lives require quite a demand on our physical selves: muscles, joints and connective tissue as well as our mental & emotional bodies.
The body is a very complex, interconnected system all working together as one. Because of this interconnected network, I address your whole self to assist in specific treatment work and realignment so you can move forward in the world with a sense of ease.
The environment I cultivate is gender-affirming, trauma-informed and body-positive. I enjoy working with all people and have a specialty serving queer, trans, gender diverse LGBTQ+ and intersectional communities at large with a variety of massage styles tailoring a unique experience for each individual.

Styles of massage (typically combined):
MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Facial restrictions can be painful and cause restricted range of motion within the body. Myofascial release gently yet deeply unsticks these layers of bound tissue and muscle.
SCAR TISSUE
Scar tissue release is usually comprised of a series of treatments over time to improve circulation and movement in the body and help soften the scars over time. I work with all types of scars and have a specialty working with scars resulting from Top Surgery.
TOP SURGERY SESSIONS
Gender affirming pre/post op treatment work.
Jaw and intraoral massage
A very effective way to decrease symptoms of pain, joint clicking/popping/locking in the jaw and increase range of motion and circulation to the specific muscle tissues.
Deep Tissue treatment focuses on painful, stiff "trouble spots" in your body. This type of treatment is designed to reach the deeper sections of thick muscles, and specifically address and loosen the individual muscle fibres.
STRAIN / COUNTERSTRAIN - TENDER POINT RELEASE THERAPY
Tender Point Release uses passive and painless positioning to reduce your pain and spasm while improving your motion and function. This technique "dissolves" your painful tender points, even ones that have persisted for years.
