There are many kinds of massage.
This is not the kind that asks your body to endure, perform, or push through.

Somatic-informed massage therapy is clinical massage held within a trauma-aware, consent-led, and relational approach.
The work is slow. The pacing matters. Your nervous system leads.

I work and bill within the scope of Registered Massage Therapy, while also drawing on advanced Somatic Experiencing®️and trauma-resolution training that allows me to guide touch with precision and care.

This is not one-off bodywork.
It unfolds over time, within a longer-term relational container.

If something here resonates, you’re welcome to reach out by email and share a little about what brings you here.
We can explore whether this work is the right fit.

Slow is not a delay.
It’s the way in.

There’s been a tenderness today.
A low ache beneath the calendar.

Each time I’m offered Happy New Year, I feel an inner pause
that moment where I decide whether to nod politely
or speak from the deeper place.

My body knows this is not a beginning.
My ancient Celtic and Germanic ancestors knew it too.
This season was never about forward motion or fresh starts.
It was about deep connection to natural rhythms.
About rest.
About listening carefully to the dark.

What feels true is that the world is hurting
and asking something different of us now
not more resolutions, but more capacity for stillness.
More listening.
More grief-tending.

I look for elders in my local community who sense this too.
Those who can name what’s happening without rushing us past it.
And often, I come up empty handed.

So I practice finding my own voice.
And the truth I keep circling back to is this:
there is nothing new about today.
This is not a time for beginnings.
It is a time for rest.

I turn to trusted teachers who remind me
that we are living in uncertain times -
what Francis Weller names the Long Dark.
A season not to escape,
but to be accompanied through.

This is me practicing letting my voice be heard.

Over one million children are about to die from a man-made starvation in Gaza, and aid is just miles from the border. Join me in pausing all of your ads, promotions, and regularly scheduled content, August 1st to make room for Gaza’s voices to be heard in this dire moment. Instead, post a picture of an empty bowl to show your solidarity. You can help us send an urgent message to national news by using bit.ly/gazaisstarving to urge networks to report on the one million children that are on the brink of death from forced starvation.

We won’t feed the algorithm while Gaza starves.

Our logomark carries profound meaning and we believe it represents the essence of our practice and vision.

Integrated within the tree trunk of our logo are two human faces looking toward each other. Representing a world where individuals are met with compassion supporting trauma healing to become more embodied, and forge even deeper connections with themselves, life and others.

The mirroring of the human face represents the attunement and presence we have with our clients on the healing journey which symbolizes our shared experience.

What we don’t see though is the network this tree’s root system is a part of. The collective nervous system of the whole forest.

Similarly, our approach to somatic therapy aims to help individuals not only develop resilience and inner strength but also to awaken connection to the whole.

The species of tree is a local coniferous and the style is indigenous-inspired which aims to add a depth of cultural respect. It pays homage to indigenous wisdom from all lands including the lands we have come from and the lands upon which we live and work. The style signifies an inclusion for many diverse cultures, and acknowledges the universality of trauma and the importance of culturally sensitive therapy.
