Esalen® Bodywork: A welcoming of the body–with presence and acceptance
Esalen® is a deeply nurturing massage style that works with each client’s body and needs individually; no two massage sessions are ever the same.
Esalen® is a mindfulness based modality, incorporating long flowing full body strokes, compressions, table stretching, joint mobilization, Thai, deep tissue, and meditative stillness.
With these techniques, I am able to slowly go deeper into the musculature of the body when the body is ready, creating a dance between client and practitioner, which can lead to deep release.
I bring my full presence to the table, and work intuitively with each body. Each massage is a creative collaboration between partners, to reach deep relaxation of both the emotional and physical body, and rebalancing of the nervous system. It is a welcoming of the body, and meeting you exactly where you are. Because of Esalen’s® deep nervous system nourishment, and the feelings of safety and security it so often creates, this work is often a container for deep emotional release, and inner work.
***Bodywork sessions are completely inclusive, I incorporate hot stones, hot towels, essential oils, cupping therapy, and Soma tuning forks at no additional cost.

I was taught this body work protocol from an incredible Wise Woman who has specialized in Women’s bodywork for over 50 years. It was truly an honor to sit at the feet of this inspiring woman and learn from her many years of wisdom.
