Massage Therapy & Thai Bodywork

Hands-on touch is the most intuitive and effective way we can facilitate connection, deepen intimacy, stimulate dopamine production, and experience states of deep restoration, increased security, and profound worthiness. Everyone deserves to receive this intentional, loving care, as it is through caring for ourselves that we are able to give to others. There are so many different styles and approaches to working with the body — what is yours calling for?

Bhakti Yoga ~ the Path of Devotion

Yoga, or the eightfold path of liberation, is an infinitely adaptable spiritual technology that enables us to actualize direct experience with Source. When we bring body movement into union with breath, we clear our energy channels and prepare ourselves to receive and amplify Light and Love. The embodied practices of Asana, the Yoga of postures, and Pranayama, the Yoga of the breath, give us the tools for the journey. We can think of Bhakti as the devotional way we show up for our practices — with an open heart, a willingness to be of service, and a desire to express ourselves authentically.
