As April continues to fill, I’ve been reflecting on how this work has been evolving…
Less about quick, transactional care and more about building something steady, relational, and supportive over time. Some of you have been seeing me for around 15 years!
I want to create a space where your body is known. Where you don’t have to start over each time. Where care isn’t a luxury, but something you’re allowed to return to.
If you’ve been wanting to reestablish a rhythm of receiving, this is your invitation.
There are still a handful of April sessions available, including space for: • ongoing care sessions/ Widening the Window packages • postpartum support (Closing of the Bones / Blessingway) • deeper, immersive work when you need a Soleful Reset
And if you’re not in a place to book right now, there are other ways to stay connected through the podcast, or the Patreon space I’ve been tending more intentionally.
This work exists because of community and because of you.
There are a few new (and honestly, delicious) offerings I’ve been weaving in:
• {NEW!} Intra-oral + facial massage — for those holding tension in the jaw, face, or nervous system or you have a history of headaches. (and also has a connection to the pelvic diaphragm) This work can be subtle and profound, softening patterns we often don’t realize we’re carrying. This can be added to your session or a session on its own.
• The Soleful Reset (4 hours) — a deeply immersive experience. Think: layers of warmth, intuitive touch, rest, and time stretching just enough for your system to truly exhale. This is one of the most generous ways to receive.
• Postpartum care (Closing of the Bones / Blessingway) — for those in a threshold moment. Whether you’re preparing for a new baby or newly postpartum or tending to an older transition, this work honors the body in its transition and its integration.
I’ve also brought in some beautiful new tools and textures that I can’t wait for you to experience… the kind that make your body say “thank you for that!”
If you’ve been meaning to come in, or your body has been whispering (or shouting), now is a really lovely time to listen.
I want to say, thank you for being part of this space. Whether you come in regularly, occasionally, or are simply here reading these words… this work is shaped by relationship.
If you’re wanting to stay connected in a different way, I’ve been sharing more on the podcast lately, and the Patreon is still open as a softer, ongoing space to engage with this work outside the treatment room.
More soon on something I’ve been quietly building around that less transactional, more relational but for now, just know you’re invited into it.
I’ve been sending emails about new offerings but I wanted to put them all in one place. And give you a few more.

I serve women seeking radical, communal care by creating spaces where they are protected enough to release through shared wisdom, containers of safety, and trauma informed bodywork.
I want to be clear about something, I believe in care as a practice. In remembering one another’s humanity, even when the world forgets. Even when the powers at large are shifting the tides in what we model and consume as human value. I stand firm in my progressive values and everyone deserves the right to equality, dignity, and justice. We’re not going back. If you’re a woman, femme, queer, ND neurodivergent, BIPOC, you are seen and held here.
These times call for the helpers to emerge. I’ve always held the space to help the helpers.
If you are an organizer or activist, you can use the CODE: HUMAN1ST to jump into the Body Wisdom course at no cost. The work you’re doing is important, let me hold some of this with you. Please spread this word quietly to ensure safety.
Thank you for reading. It means the world to me.
Remember, a one-word reply to this email does wonders for email deliverability. I also love to hear from the ones reading this. Plus, I like to know I’m not just yelling into a void when I send these. 🙂 You can also like, share, and comment on social media. It all helps us small biz folks.
