What to expect

  • This work is for women who are ready to come home to their bodies , gently, courageously, and with deep compassion.

    It’s for those who have carried silent stories in their skin, in their breath, in their bellies… women who feel the ache of disconnection, the weight of grief, or the quiet whisper that something more is possible.

    You may be navigating the tender aftermath of trauma, longing for intimacy with yourself or others, or feeling lost in a life that no longer fits. You may have tried talk therapy or other healing paths, yet still feel something unresolved in your body, stuck, numb, or too much.

    This work is for you if you yearn to:

    • Reclaim safety and trust in your body

    • Heal patterns rooted in trauma or touch deprivation

    • Connect with your sensual, sacred, untamed self

    • Be witnessed, held, and supported in a way that feels safe, attuned, and honouring

    It is especially for women in transition, the threshold-crossers, the grief-walkers, the mystics-in-the-making, who are ready to listen to the language of their body and remember their own wholeness.

    Who is this not for?

    This work may not be the right fit if:

    • You’re looking for a clinical or purely medical massage experience

    • You’re uncomfortable with gentle therapeutic touch as part of trauma-informed healing

    • You’re not yet open to slowing down or being in dialogue with your body’s wisdom

    • You’re seeking a quick fix, rather than a relational, process-oriented approach to healing

    This is sacred, somatic work that moves at the pace of trust. It asks for presence, curiosity, and a willingness to feel, even if just a little at a time.

    If you’re unsure whether it’s right for you, I’m happy to have a conversation to explore what you’re needing.

  • It’s a journey of nurturing, releasing, Each session is a co-created space , grounded in safety, presence, and deep respect for your body’s wisdom.

    We begin by arriving with breath, awareness, and attunement to what is present in your body, your energy, and your inner landscape. Together, we follow what is most alive and gently explore what’s needed: grounding, connection, release, or rest.

    Touch is never assumed.
    In early sessions , especially the first, we may not include any hands-on work. Instead, we tend to the essential foundations of embodied consent. This may include:

    • Tuning into sensation, boundaries, and body cues

    • Cultivating nervous system awareness and resourcing

    • Establishing safety, choice, and pacing in relationship

    When and if touch becomes part of the process, it is always consensual, trauma-informed, and deeply attuned. Somatic bodywork may include gentle, therapeutic contact that supports healing, regulation, and reconnection.

    Some sessions are quiet and spacious. Others may hold emotion, movement, or insight. All of you is welcome , and we move at the pace of your nervous system, not ahead of it.

    This is not about fixing. It’s about listening. Remembering. Returning to the deep intelligence within.

  • No. You never have to talk about anything you're not ready or willing to share.

    This work honours the intelligence of your body , and often, healing can unfold without needing to tell the whole story. We work gently with sensation, breath, and nervous system patterns, allowing your body to guide the process in a way that feels safe and manageable.

    You’re always in choice. You can speak as much or as little as you want. Sometimes, words come. Sometimes, silence is the medicine. Both are welcome here.

    This is not talk therapy, though you may find that your body tells its own story, in its own time, through subtle shifts, feelings, or images. And when (or if) you choose to share more, it will always be held with care, consent, and deep respect.

    There is something profoundly sacred about a woman choosing to speak her truth, not from the rawness of the wound, but from the wisdom of the scar. When the time is right, this space can hold those stories, not to fix them, but to honour the becoming that grew from them.

    Your pace is sacred.
    Your no is honoured.
    Your story is yours and it will never be demanded in order for your healing to be seen.

  • This work is deeply personal and the relationship between us is part of the medicine. Feeling safe, seen, and gently supported is essential for your healing.

    You don’t have to know right away. Sometimes, the body knows before the mind catches up. Sometimes, it takes a session or two to feel that knowing settle in. That’s okay.

    We might be a good fit if you’re looking for:

    • A space that honours slowness, softness, and sacred attunement

    • A practitioner who is deeply trauma-informed, relational, and body-based

    • A healing experience that welcomes grief, pleasure, numbness, emotion, and everything in between

    • A grounded, spiritual, and soul-led approach to somatic healing

    • Consent-centered care that moves at the pace of trust

    This work may not be for you if you're looking for quick fixes, clinical massage, or a results-driven experience. What I offer is not a treatment, it's a sacred collaboration.

    If you're unsure, you're welcome to book a short connection call. There's no pressure just a chance to feel into it together.

    Your body knows.
    Your intuition knows.
    And I trust that wisdom.

  • Longing for nurturing touch is deeply human and deeply sacred. You are not wrong to want to be held, soothed, or supported through massage.

    And still, the way I offer touch is different from a conventional massage. This isn’t about fixing muscles or chasing tension, it’s about reclaiming touch as sacred… as relational, intentional, and consent-driven.

    In this work, we slow down. We listen. We allow relationship to blossom before contact is offered. This means that especially in the beginning, we may spend time in conversation, stillness, or gentle somatic practices to cultivate safety and embodied consent.

    Touch, when it comes, is never rushed or routine, it arises from mutual trust and attunement. It becomes a doorway into deeper healing, not a detour around it.

    So if you’re seeking a traditional, results-focused massage, this may not be the right space. But if your body longs to be met, not just touched ,to be received, not just rubbed , you are in the right place.

    This is tender, sacred work.
    It begins with presence.
    And it unfolds at the pace of trust.

  • While I am trained as a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), the work I offer here is something quite different.

    A typical spa or clinical massage focuses on physical relief, reducing tension, increasing circulation, addressing injuries or symptoms. It often follows a standard routine, with the client as a passive recipient and the therapist as the “fixer.”

    What I offer is not about fixing, it’s about listening.

    This is relational bodywork and somatic therapy, rooted in trauma-informed care, nervous system awareness, and the sacred reclamation of touch as healing. You are not just a body on a table. You are a whole person, and your body carries stories, emotions, wisdom, and boundaries that deserve reverence.

    In this space:

    • We move slowly, at the pace of your body’s readiness

    • Touch is always consensual, attuned, and collaborative

    • There is room for breath, emotion, silence, and insight

    • We invite healing not only through technique, but through presence

    This work is about meeting you, not manipulating you.
    It’s about tending to what’s beneath the surface, not bypassing it.
    It’s a ceremony, not a service.

    If your body longs to be truly witnessed and supported in its becoming, you may find that this is the kind of massage you didn’t know you were searching for.

  • I offer a sliding scale as part of my commitment to increasing access to care. This model relies on shared responsibility within the community: clients who are financially resourced are encouraged to pay at the higher end of the scale, helping to make space for those who are navigating systemic barriers to care.

    This rate is intended for people experiencing the real impacts of systemic racism, oppression, poverty, job loss, disability, or other structural inequities that limit access to consistent therapeutic support. Choosing the higher rate, when you are able, is a quiet act of solidarity—it helps ensure that care remains available to those for whom healing is not a luxury, but a lifeline.

    I trust clients to self-select the rate that feels honest and sustainable for their current circumstances. No explanations are required. This practice is rooted in respect, reciprocity, and the belief that collective care is stronger than individual striving.

    • $200 ~ Solidarity Rate
      For clients with stable income, financial security, and access to resources
      Your rate helps sustain the practice and makes reduced-rate sessions possible for others.

    • $180 ~ Standard Rate
      For clients with relatively stable finances who can meet basic needs
      Reflects the true cost of providing trauma-informed care.

    • $150 ~ Access Rate‍ ‍
      For clients experiencing financial hardship or systemic barriers
      This rate is intended for those impacted by systemic racism, oppression, poverty, job loss, disability, or other conditions that limit access to care.

    Please speak directly to me to request a sliding scale rate.

  • Racism, systemic harm, and other forms of oppression are lived, embodied experiences that shape how safety, threat, belonging, and rest are felt in the nervous system over time.

    In my work, I take responsibility for ongoing learning so that sessions are not a place where clients are asked to educate, justify, or explain their lived reality. I approach this work with humility, attunement, and respect for the wisdom each person already carries in their body.

    Rather than positioning myself as an expert on someone else’s experience, I work collaboratively - listening closely, tracking the nervous system, and moving at a pace that supports regulation, choice, and dignity. If something doesn’t land or feels misattuned, that information is welcome and can become part of how safety is built.

    My intention is to offer a space where the body can settle, not brace - and where the work supports resilience and integration, rather than adding another layer of labour.
