My offering is rooted in my belief in the power of healing touch. Our first language out of the womb, touch is vital in communicating comfort, safety, and love - conditions which facilitate deep, embodied transformation.

I use long, slow, and deep strokes on muscles and connective tissue (fascia) to support trust and nervous system regulation, allowing the body to melt, open, and for energy to flow freely. Through presence, deep care, and intuitive guidance, I support the body’s innate ability to heal - to let go of physical tension, emotion, energy or fluid blockages, and trauma stored in the depths of body tissue.

When my body meets yours, I draw on my own journey - through international law and academia, the raw edges of war, violence, and revolution, the resilience of the human spirit, and healing that became crucial for me after witnessing, firsthand, widespread human atrocity.

From this authentic, embodied space, I invite you to slow down; reconnect with your innate gifts, creativity, clarity of mind; and nurture that which elicits aliveness within you. I believe your unique and authentic essence is a magnificent thread in the vast, wild tapestry of life-affirming culture.

Pricing & Gift Economy

My offering is based on a sliding scale rooted in nourishing a culture of care and reciprocity. Rather than a fixed price, you are invited to feel into your own pool of resources and choose the amount within the ranges below that feels possible and genuine —an exchange that reflects the value you receive. My wish is for you to feel seen and respected in your financial reality, rather than assuming we all have the capacity to pay the same. If you’d like to read more about sliding scale pricing and why I choose it, see here.

Investment and session length

Because of the slowness and depth of this work, sessions are a minimum of 1 hour 15 minutes, allowing spaciousness, care, and patience to support the body’s natural integration and healing.

• 1 hour 15 minutes: $140-160

• 1 hour 30 minutes: $150-180

These prices honour the depth of experience I bring, my own financial needs as a single mother, and the wider ecology of this work. Your contribution helps keep this work accessible, grounded in trust and integrity, and allows me to gift sessions to mothers within our community. My ultimate wish is to be in service to bodies, to flesh, to tissue, to healing, within my capacity. If cost is a barrier, please contact me.

Honouring mothers through gift

Each moon cycle I gift a treatment to a single mother in recognition of the immense and exquisite effort and responsibility mothers hold in nurturing the life that is future generations. I long to be part of culture that revers and nourishes mothers and their children so they, their families, and culture that ripples out from those intimate relationships, thrives. I believe this is an antidote to the epidemic of dis-eased, anxious adults in the modern world - including those who wield dysfunctional politics. Nominate a mother, or reach out directly, mama!
