Discerning therapeutic touch that meets you where you are.
Bodywork is a broad term for the trusted medicine of physical touch. As a licensed massage therapist I use touch to help bodies find healing balance. Osteopathy, chiropractic, physical therapy, craniosacral therapy, structural integration, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, shiatsu, and Swedish massage are all forms of bodywork with different perspectives on how to offer healing. My work is primarily myofascial and craniosacral with influences from all of the above methodologies, focused on the interaction between the connective tissue network and the nervous system.
Massage with your clothes on offers presence, authenticity, and transformation:
Unless we’re using a treatment the specifically requires skin contact I work with my clients fully clothed. I love the sensuality and flow of receiving Swedish massage from time to time, and I value nudity. Yet, as a bodyworker I find that I can be more present and authentic with my clients within the boundary of clothed interaction. This is what we expect when going to a chiropractor, osteopath, or physical therapist. Engaging with the feeling body, and asking it to soften, is inherently vulnerable. I find loose clothing that moves easily helps hold the safe container needed for transformative work.
You are safe here.
