I’m currently taking Outcall appointments during the week, while reserving Saturday - Monday at my studio on 906 East 5th St.

Part of me must be nomadic, but no matter how far away or how small the dimensions, I’ve been very pleased to provide in home (or hotel or Airbnb…) licensed massage therapy as much as my schedule allows.

Outcalls must call or text to schedule. Incalls can as call as well, or use the online booking system at: www.wellspacebodywork.com

Be well!

My new studio, shared with my beloved esthetician Anne Marie, is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! I’m not only right downtown but it’s lovingly adorned with a top quality memory foam pad, memory foam facerest and arm extensions.
I’ve been setting up the pregnancy pads so my lovely prenatal ladies can lie on their bellies.
And just being there, at the center of town, ensures fresh faces and new inspiration always. This benefits everyone! I welcome new and old friends to come experience with me—may I continue until I am old and gray!

New rules. I’ve been keeping up with the CDC and WHO as to the Delta Variant. Now it’s reality has hit close to home, and I’m mourning before the curtain goes down on someone I love with all of my heart.
*There are others whom I love dearly and deeply who refuse vaccination so do not feel at odds, just be open to change your mind.
Now, I am ONLY taking fully vaccinated clients. I’m grateful for the brave visitors who came before we had a vaccine, and I understand being wary of being first in line to get a new drug, but it’s time. The Delta variant is up to 1000 times more contagious and many times more deadly than the coronavirus of 2020.
Millions in just the US have been vaccinated without serious side effects. We have the privilege of Moderna and Pfizer, for which some foreigners are willing to pay 4x the average flight for a chance to be vaccinated in the US.
Side effects? I had a sore arm for one day. No life-changing effects.
But put in your imagination the myriad ways you might like to leave this mortal coil. Coronavirus is not one of them. Regret for having not getting vaccinated is the constant refrain.
Everyone from Tucker Carlson to the janitor at Fox News has been fully vaccinated, per company mandate. Fact.
We all want to be normal (or weird, whatever your preference) but most of us want to be alive, so get your vaccine. It’s FREE. Do it for the strangers and neighbors and everyone else you’ll infect if you keep this chain of infection going.
SO, take a photo of your vaccination card and I’ll massage each one of you with a love deep and joyful for your every breath.
I wear 5 layer, daily washed Nano masks from Oro. Each insert is rotated every 30 days.
I encourage you to wear a mask as well, but as long as you are fully vaccinated, it’s your choice.
But no and I mean NO unvaccinated guests at this time. I don’t want to be the end of you just because I feel nothing and you are vulnerable.
It is your life. Make good choices. Thrive. And I will do the absolute same.

Delta…if you are fully vaccinated you may remove your mask face down if you like. There’s a Vornado fan beneath the table blowing past your face towards a true HEPA air purifier. The room is enormous compared to most massage studios, with high ceilings, large windows and a balcony door. Fresh air.
I have been fully vaccinated with Moderna since May but I still use an effective 5 layer mask for your protection. All other safety protocols are in place (www.WellSpaceBodywork.com)
I love making people feel extraordinary. If that is your goal, skip the spa. Come to a dedicated therapist in private practice and feel the difference.
New? 15 minute upgrade on one hour massages from now until thanksgiving (schedule 110 minutes).

Double vaccinated yet? Let the masks come off...coming up with a really good reason to get my 3rd booster shot because Delta. And who wants to be sick with a mysterious multi-symptomatic virus? Not me. Not you either? Cool.
