therapeutic bodywork

I am currently practicing out of a private studio in Coventry, CT (MT #11281).​

If you need assistance finding a time to schedule after seeing what's available on online booking, please contact me. 

​

In my body work practice I use high quality oils and handmade herbal preparations throughout my sessions. I prioritize creating an inviting, sensory sensitive atmosphere in the studio by considering lighting, fabrics, aromatics, and sound.

Similar to my other practices, my massage style reflects a holistic perspective that is less about orienting to dysfunction but about enhancing the innate organization and vitality of the body. Whether you are looking to address chronic pain or support your nervous system, this massage is customized to your unique intentions and preferences—pressure variations from swedish style to deep are woven in with finesse over force. Sessions are designed incorporating multiple modalities seamlessly. Suitable to address a wide demographic, from those who are challenged by everyday tension patterns, to athletes and active types of all kinds. Therapeutic massage supports circulation, lymphatic & immune health, improved flexibility, range of motion, better sleep, lifted mood, and mind body integration. I utilize myofascial release, trigger point therapy, stretching, and integrations of craniosacral technique. Hot towels included in every session; aromatherapy or whole herb infused oils & hot stone can be added at no extra cost.

Craniosacral Therapy

60-75 minutes; $120

​​

Craniosacral therapy is particularly well suited towards those with chronic pain, sleep challenges, emotional difficulties, stress & tension, connective tissue disorders, TMJ/headaches, migraines, and immune problems.
 

From The Upledger Institute: CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.” I blend a mechanical/manual approach of CST with an energetic/visionary quality.

I perceive these waters of the body like any that exist in nature–observing that there are channels, tides, and varying amplitudes of waves. The components of cerebrospinal fluid are adjacent to that of ocean water, where all of life began. By attuning to these rhythms, listening to the body and reestablishing symmetrical flow, we are returning to self and remembering our nature by circulating this ancient wisdom. Remembering that while the body holds memory of our experiences, it also keeps an innate blueprint of vitality and wisdom that knows how to heal. CST offers a deep state of rest and quietude that allows this map to surface. This session allows the recipient to be fully clothed.​

Flower Essence Therapy (often paired with 30 minute energywork or 1 hour CST)

​60 minutes; $120 (includes custom remedy)

For those interested in engaging with their psyche, spirit, and the subtle realms. Grounded in deep presence, these sessions are designed to bring gentle awareness to the body's communication and the callings of one’s heart & inner world. It is suggested to arrive at your consultation with intention and clarity around the general themes and patterns of what you’d like to support; I will also draw on my communication and intuitive skills to assist in exploring what may be presenting itself. Through dialogue and thoughtful inquiry, the topic calling for attention always finds its way to the forefront. Flower essences can be utilized alongside any other modality or health practice, as there are no known contraindications, and both are incredible companions for time of transition and change (birth, death, relationship shifts, illness & recovery, emotional navigations). Often combined with CST/Energywork, flower essence formulations are designed to support the body in restoring itself by facilitating emotional balance and engaging your innate healing capacity. We will collaborate on your custom remedy at the end of our conversation. I utilize the Bach Flower remedies as well as my own hand crafted essences. 

Bach Flower Remedies (and other energetic preparations of plants) do not work directly on the physical body via plant constituent (like herbal teas or tinctures do) but rather they assist on an emotional level and when the imbalance or cause is addressed through the remedy, the physical symptom or discomfort will improve.
