꙳ trigger point + myofascial
꙳ assisted stretching
꙳ craniosacral
꙳ hot stone (offering soon)
꙳ cupping (offering soon)
i plan to receive training in thai massage and shiatsu - keep in touch for more information!
i am a CODA and fluent in ASL. if you are Deaf and curious, reach out.
i work within a sliding scale model in an effort to make massage more financially accessible. this means you pay what you feel you can pay within the range, and this can change each session! feel free to reach out with questions about the sliding scale model. please plan to bring payment to your session - cash, card, check, or venmo all work!

the space
my studio is located at 105 ABC, Main St, Belfast ME 04915, through the hot pink door next to city drawers. i have a google business profile that you can plug into your maps app!
please arrive ~15 minutes before your massage to discuss what we want to do, and plan to stay 5-15 minutes after to discuss how you feel.
the studio space is up a long flight of stairs, and there is no elevator. if this makes my work inaccessible to you, please reach out to me for us to brainstorm alternative spaces.
my studio is in a shared building next to other offices, which sometimes means we can hear folks talking (not always). if this is a serious issue for you, let me know and i will do my best to work around the schedules of the other tenants!
there is often free street parking near my studio, which is limited to 2 hours on weekdays. there are also all-day free lots nearby. check out this map for more details. please anticipate parking and walking time in planning for your massage!
i am open to doing home visits. please contact me for more details about this if you are interested.
