Massage Therapist & Bodyworker
The knot isn't the problem. It's the message.
For fourteen years I have worked with bodies that have been compensating for something — an old injury, a new desk, a season of carrying too much. My work is deep, specific, and unhurried, and I will always tell you what I am finding as I find it.

What clients carry home
“Maya found the thing three other people had missed, explained exactly what she was doing, and I walked out standing straighter than I have in two years.”
“I booked the three-session package expecting to feel better. I didn't expect to stop bracing my whole right side.”
“The Restoration Day she ran with Rowan was the best thing I have done for myself all year. Book it early — it sells out.”

Sessions are held in my studio off Depot Street. Most people arrive after they have already tried to push through it; we start by figuring out what your body has been protecting.
