body rituals for aliveness
body rituals for aliveness
survivor-centered practice. pelvic & abdominal care.
ongoing & ritual sessions.
bodywork that meets you right where you are.
i have spent nearly a decade cultivating an approach to this work that is process-oriented, consent-focused, and paced with your nervous system. if you are a survivor, a griever, or simply a human with a tender nervous system longing to be held — this work is for you.
however you identify, you are welcome if you feel drawn to receive care in a space that prioritizes the needs of those who are healing from violence.
your tenderness // grief // joy // alchemy all belong here.
skilled, trauma-attuned bodywork with a focus on pelvic & abdominal care.
offerings :: ongoing sessions
Looking for bodywork as care? Bodywork as rhythmic self-tending? I am committed to working with you across a variety of ongoing contexts, especially in the realm of chronic pain patterns, nervous system // trauma support, perinatal care, or pelvic, abdominal and sacrum focused issues. Establishing a regular rhythm of receiving care can be an important addition to your support network. I offer more focused, short sessions as well as longer ones to meet you wherever you’re at. I also offer one community day per month where you can receive a focused session of bodywork care at a reduced rate.

$90
rooted body care
(70 minutes)
space to settle, listen and begin to unwind deeper holding patterns. this session allows space for targeted work as well as broader integration. a balanced container for ongoing care.
$130
deep body care
(100 minutes)
a more spacious field for layered, relational work that invites deeper nervous system settling. an optimal container for more specialized modalities: expansive barefoot + myofascial work, pelvic and // or abdominal work, and full-body integration.
this is where the work has time to unfold.

offerings :: ritual sessions
Are you drawn to receiving bodywork with elements of ritual? Oftentimes receiving massage and bodywork can be framed as either a luxury spa service or as a form of healthcare. While both of those contexts are important, I offer offering something distinct — bodywork as a co-created ritual space between client and practitioner, a form of somatic alchemy that can support you in moving through life transitions.
This kind of work can be especially potent for working with significant experiences (grief, trauma, relationship transitions, pregnancy beginnings and endings, abortion, graduation, anniversaries, recovery, and many more). I am an experienced ritualist and will work with you to design the kind of space that most meets what you are looking for. These sessions all focus primarily on bodywork, but can also potentially include tarot, astrology readings, essential oil, tea, and breathwork.
My training includes ritual facilitation, years of immersive tarot and astrology study, as well as community herbalism. It is an honor to bring these additional layers of possibility into the realm of ritual bodywork.

i am forever wonder-soaked at the intricate mysteries and possibilities of the body. i approach each person on my table with a sense of reverence, warmth and a deep trust in each person’s innate capacity to find ongoing healing within their body. it is an honor to be present with you on this path.
i come to this work as both an experienced massage therapist // bodyworker as well as through the lens of a trained scholar. i also arrive at this work as a survivor of violence who has devoted my practice in these realms to accompanying other survivors of various forms of trauma.
for me, these strands of work are inextricable from one another. as a scholar, i weave together contemporary sexual ethics, trauma theory, Jewish mysticism, and queer + feminist theory to teach and write in ways that expand our nations of what is possible to experience with the body, particuarly in erotic encounters.
as a bodyworker, i strive towards an ever-expanding web of knowledge around supporting people who have experienced violence, trauma and grief to find more aliveness, joy and presence in their bodies.
to do this, i focus my practice on the areas of the body that tend to hold reverberations of difficult experiences: the pelvis, the sacrum, and the abdomen. these areas of focus can be especially helpful for perinatal support, too. i also specialize in myofascial barefoot bodywork, which allows for a potent, compressive experience that opens up fascial lines and increases full-body integration and mobility.
i also bring years of experience as a trained dancer to my work, allowing for a graceful fluidity that can help clients drop into a deeper state of relaxation and receptivity.
