Therapeutic Somatic Work
Want a more somatic approach to regulating and rewiring your nervous system? Let’s work with your body’s natural intelligence to unwind deep holding patterns, transform limiting beliefs, and build deeper relationship between you and your life-force energy through therapeutic massage therapy, myofascial release work, or energy work.
Every body and energy system has a language all its own. Tuning in to your body’s wisdom with intuition and intentional touch, and lending awareness and presence to that which unfolds, makes for the most subtle yet profound shifts.
Engaging in somatic work opens the dialogue. Through a methodology that I developed, we’ll not only access the root of pain and dysfunction, but also charts a course through the unraveling of the stories and belief systems that manifested as physical limitations [[“physical” meaning both “of the body” as well as “physical reality”]], ultimately facilitating an understanding in the deep connection between mind and body.
There are a couple of ways through…
Therapeutic Massage Therapy
Fifteen years worth of experience working psychosomatically with the body has refined my skill to intuitively tailor each session to treat you wholly - body, energy, spirit. Relax and come back to center.
Essentially: body work infused with energy work.
By the way, your Guides will likely show up through me with messages for you. They’re forever opportunists.

This deeply restorative session blends deep tissue techniques, energy work, and intuitive bodywork to support your body in letting go of tension, unwinding chronic holding patterns, and nervous system regulation. I work slowly and mindfully, layer by layer, using focused pressure to access muscles and connective tissue that feel “stuck,” improving circulation, mobility, and overall ease.
Each session is fully customized to meet your unique needs and goals - whether that’s easing chronic pain, relieving postural tension, restoring movement, or simply feeling lighter, more open, and fully at home in your body. You’re encouraged to tap into your felt sense in the session, connecting to presence, and allowing for you and your body to receive. You’ll leave grounded, relaxed, and more attuned awareness of your body’s natural rhythm.

All sessions are 90 minutes and priced at $190.
In-home sessions have an additional $15 travel fee.

Therapeutic Myofascial Release
Body and energy work that is executed without lotion and with the client wearing comfortable clothing to ensure modesty while I support the body’s unwinding.
Sustained pressure and holding techniques follow the rhythm of your body, allowing it to lead the process of letting go.
These sessions also integrate belief system work, emotional processing, and embodied spirituality.
And yes - your Guides.

Our bodies are held together by a continuous, interconnected web of connective tissue, known as the fascial system, stretching from head to toe. Over time, stress, injury, trauma, or emotional holding can cause this tissue to tighten, restricting movement, creating tension, and contributing to discomfort or pain. These restrictions can press on nerves, blood vessels, and other sensitive structures, keeping the body from moving and feeling its best.
Myofascial Release is a gentle yet powerful form of bodywork designed to address these restrictions at their root. Through slow, sustained pressure and intuitive listening, we invite the fascia to soften, unwind, and let go. As the body releases, circulation improves, energy begins to flow more freely, and a natural sense of space and ease is restored throughout the body, mind, and spirit.
Each session is a collaboration between your body’s innate intelligence, and my intuition and hands. We are guided by awareness, presence, and trust in the body’s innate wisdom, waiting for its cues, following its rhythm, and allowing it to lead the process of letting go. This work creates space for the body to come back to center, restore function, and support overall well-being on every level.
These sessions are different from traditional massage in that no oils or lotions are used, and clients are asked to wear shorts and a sports bra (or equivalent) to maintain modesty while allowing access to different areas of the body. This ensures that every position and movement during the session can be performed safely and effectively, giving the body the space it needs to release tension and move freely, while keeping the client comfortable and fully supported.

Somatic work with me is more than just working on the body - it’s working with your energy and your spiritual team, and inviting your body to have a voice.
