What is Mind Body Massage? Imagine a retreat from the busy pace of the day to a place of nurturing inner stillness. Stress melts away with long flowing strokes, reminding you through touch of your wholeness. As your thoughts quiet, you find yourself returning to the richness of your senses. It is an experience of reawakening aliveness, a dive into yourself, bringing feelings of reconnection, renewal, and awe...
...and all this "ahhhhhh!" is research informed. Mind Body Massage draws from what we know about the wellness and healing benefits of touch, massage, and meditation. It's an approach to bodywork that I've developed over 17 years of practice and study as a massage therapist and healing arts practitioner, that offers massage as a deeply relaxing, wellness promoting, moving meditation. Inspired by the renowned massage of Esalen, this flowing, intuitive, contactful style of massage supports wellness, healing, and personal growth.

Our wellness and thriving depends on touch, connection, and inner peace. We literally cannot live healthy lives without it. Research finds that massage increases relaxation hormones, such as oxytocin, and decreases stress hormones leaving us healthier and happier. Massage can boost immunity, lower blood pressure, and combat depression, anxiety, and stress. It can increase body awareness, confidence, and ability to connect with others. Offering massage as a moving meditation holds increased wellness benefits. Harvard research found regular meditation to switch off genetic predisposition for some diseases. Mind Body Massage is informed by this research to support wellness of the whole person.
