Esalen massage is a moving meditation for the body.
It creates the feeling of “wholeness” in the body with it’s long, fluid, full body massage strokes. We often “section off” the parts of our body that are causing pain or dysfuntion.
Esalen invites the body as a whole to be nourished and accepted.
Each Esalen massage session is completely individual and unique, no two sessions are the same.
The practioner takes into mind the needs of the client as they show up that day. In our Practitioner training we are taught a large variety tools to better serve our clients and their needs. We call upon these tools to support our clients throughout their sessions.
Some examples are: breathwork, compressions, table stretching or “table thai,” rocking, energetic holds, guided mediation, sound and our signature long flowing full body strokes.
I have personally trained in over 175 hours of Esalen massage, I am a trauma-informed therapist, a Reiki Master and former birth and postpartum doula.
My knowledge and experience of these modalities is woven into all of my Esalen massage sessions.

I do!
As a former Birth/Postpartum Doula one of my favorite sessions to offer is prenatal and postpartum work.
I discount my prenatal and postpartum services to better serve our community. Pregnancy and the postpartum period is an incredibly vulnerable and challenging time for women and I feel strongly that they deserve access to affordable support during this transitional period.
I offer prenatal and postpartum massage, (postpartum up to 90 days) as 100 minute sessions for just $1/minute.
If you welcome the addition of energy balancing/restoring and intuitive work, the session fee is:
$150

When you arrive at my private studio, you’ll be welcomed by a warm, inviting waiting area.
I will come introduce myself, and show you the basic amenities.
I love to offer clients seasonal citrus herbal water or cold tea, in the warmer months and hot teas in the winter. There is also a small tea bar, so you’re welcome to choose your own blend.
You’ll then be escorted to the private session room.
We’ll go over your needs and expectations for the service and I’ll go over my plan and what tools I’ll possibly utilize.
Questions are always welcome!
After, we’ll have time for questions and intuitive reflections as you gently integrate back into your busy life.
