I offer ongoing bodywork care with sessions at various lengths (40, 70 & 100 min) to meet you right where you are.

I also offer ritual bodywork sessions that invite you to let bodywork and an additional modality or two (tarot, astrology, breathwork, scents) be a part of meaningful life thresholds. Here bodywork becomes a ceremony that supports you in metaboliing significant transitions. More information about these sessions can be found HERE.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found me here. If you have questions or would feel more comfortable having a conversation via phone or Zoom in advance of booking a session, please reach out to me via email (kelli.bridgedda@gmail.com) and let me know what would most support you.

If you’re ready to book a session, you can do so through the website HERE. You’ll select your appointment time, and then be asked to fill out an intake form as well as consent forms.

For ritual bodywork sessions, a Zoom or phone consultation in advance is required (and included in the price of the experience) — regardless of whether or not we’ve worked together before.

Over the past fifteen years, I have immersed myself in a breadth of professional, personal, relational and academic ways of metabolizing experiences of violence. Modalities that I have been shaped by include feminist + queer sexual ethics, radical sex education and violence prevention work, somatic experiencing, full-spectrum doula training, and rape crisis intervention work.

To me, survivor-centered bodywork means that my approach begins and ends with orienting to what folx with nervous systems recovering from violence might need. Everyone’s needs are quite different, so putting this into practice is always unique. That said, some adaptations involve consent-forward language, an emphasis on building trust relationally and with self, and a continual returning to the body: sensation, breath, and presence.

During intake forms, initial conversations and during sessions, I focus on asking about what you most need to feel not only safe receiving bodywork, but also empowered to ask for what you need and to enjoy the session. I am as focused on technical bodywork skill as I am on collaborating with you as client to facilitate a session that leaves you feeling more whole, more free and more held.

My prices are fixed rates that encompass the full experience of a session. I do not charge extra for different modalities or ‘add-ons’ like essential oils or hot towels, and I do not expect gratuity as my rates reflect precisely what I need as a reciprocal exchange for my work.

If you are in need of this kind of bodywork but do not have the financial resources to pay for my regular rates, please reach out directly via email. I reserve some space each month for reduced rate sessions, and am also quite excited about mutually nourishing barter // trade situations if our skills and needs align well.

I also offer regular community days with a number of 40 minute sessions at reduced sliding scale rates. To be notified of these, please email me to be added to my newsletter for all the latest updates.

Pelvic & abdominal bodywork can be incredibly supportive for folx with a wide variety of needs: anyone in or around a perinatal phase of life, people with significant tension in the lower back, hips and // or pelvic floor, chronic hip or lower spine pain, digestion issues, menstrual cycle pain or irregularity, hip flexor tension, and more.
