Esalen® Massage
Experience the style of massage that helped me discover how good my body could feel.
Esalen combines long, flowing strokes, gentle rocking, stretching, and joint movement - supporting your nervous system and your body's natural ability to heal. This isn't traditional massage that works on the body. This is a moving meditation that works with your body, helping you reconnect with your natural rhythms while tension and stress gently soften.
Each session is customized to your comfort and needs, and is guided by presence, mindfulness, and connection. I create a safe, restorative space where you can fully let go and return to balance, calm, and wholeness.
Benefits:
Promotes profound relaxation and nervous system regulation
Long strokes that travel the length of the body create an integrative experience different than traditional massage
Promotes enhanced mind-body connection and emotional awareness
Supports your body's natural ability to return to balance and wholeness
Gently releases tension and brings awareness to holding patterns
60 minutes - $110
75 minute (recommended time) - $125
90 minutes (recommended time) - $150
120 minutes - $200
Swedish & Deep Tissue Massage
While my heart is in Esalen, I also offer Swedish and Deep Tissue techniques for those seeking more traditional bodywork.
What "deep tissue" actually means:
Deep tissue isn't about applying maximum pressure - it's about working methodically through layers of muscle and fascia to reach deeper tissue. Using specific techniques and a "gently firm" pressure (medium-firm on most scales), I sink into muscles as they soften, inviting release rather than forcing it.
Even in this work, I prioritize nervous system regulation. When your body feels safe, muscles let go more easily - meaning we can achieve deeper work without the "no pain, no gain" approach that often causes more harm than relief.

Floating Hammock Nervous System Regulation® - Coming Soon!
I’m excited to offer this unique nervous system tool — a deeply restorative experience that can stand alone or complement your table session.
Floating Hammock Massage is a fully-clothed form of bodywork using gentle hammock manipulation, breathwork, and eye movement patterns to rewire the body’s stress response and support homeostasis. The subtle compression and traction along the spine create a sensation of floating - a profound nervous system reset. This work is for those seeking to increase nervous system resilience and manage stress more effectively.
Benefits:
Touch combined with gentle rocking increases oxytocin
Decreases stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
Supports a deep relaxation response and the body’s natural movement toward homeostasis (balance)
Encourages a sense of safety and weightlessness
Helps regulate breathing, heart rate, and muscle tone
Can reduce inflammation
Many clients describe the experience as meditative, womb-like, and deeply restorative.
25-minute session - Coming soon!
Note: This is a clothed practice. Please:
Wear socks and comfortable clothing without zippers on the backside
Remove jewelry to protect the hammock material
The hammock safely supports up to 350 lbs
Everyone deserves healthy touch. Sliding scale pricing available by request for those who need it to access this medicine.
