Therapeutic Bodywork
Therapeutic Bodywork
Each session is a personalized experience, guided by deep listening to your body’s signals and what feels most important in the moment. Together, we identify areas of restriction and tension, then apply targeted techniques, including myofascial release, cupping, and local and distal acupressure—to address fascial tightness, improve circulation, and support tissue function.
This collaborative approach is tailored specifically to your physiological needs, creating space for your body and spirit to be heard and supported throughout the healing process.

Facial Massage - Buccal 60 min
This deeply grounding facial massage is designed to release tension held in the face, jaw, and surrounding areas—regions where muscular and fascial tightness often accumulates without our awareness. Incorporating buccal massage, a specialized technique that works inside the mouth, this treatment is especially effective for relieving TMJ discomfort, improving jaw mobility, and easing headaches.
The session includes a full facial massage along with myofascial release, facial cupping, acupressure points, and soothing cold and warm compresses. To further support relaxation and release, the massage extends to the neck, shoulders, and arms, addressing the interconnected patterns of tension in the upper body.
This holistic approach promotes improved circulation, supports tissue health, and invites deep relaxation and balance—helping you feel more grounded and present.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, rhythmic technique designed to support and stimulate the body’s lymphatic system — a vital part of your immune and circulatory systems. The lymphatic system helps remove toxins, waste, excess fluid, and cellular debris from the body. It plays a crucial role in reducing inflammation, defending against illness, and maintaining overall fluid balance. Unlike blood circulation, which is powered by the heart, the lymphatic system relies on movement, breath, and manual stimulation to keep it flowing properly — making MLD an incredibly effective tool for wellness and recovery.
Using soft, specific movements just beneath the skin, MLD encourages the natural flow of lymph and can help reduce post-surgical swelling, improve healing, and support conditions such as edema, lymphedema, lipedema, fibromyalgia, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammation. It can also relieve pain and tension from sprains, strains, tendinitis, headaches, and other chronic pain conditions. Additionally, it helps regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality.
Please note: MLD is not suitable for individuals with acute infections, untreated heart conditions, active cancer (unless cleared by a physician), blood clots, serious kidney issues, or within two weeks of receiving Botox injections. A full intake will be completed before your session to ensure this treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
Offered in both 60 and 90 minute sessions.
