LGBT-Friendly Massage

Everyone Should Feel Safe

I know how difficult it can be to find health care providers who respect your identity, your family, and your community. Therefore, I wanted to be very upfront about my commitment to providing safe and healing massage to members of the queer community and to transgender folks in particular. When we are working together, you are welcome to talk without judgement about your or your partners' gender identities, poly & open relationships, or kink.

Info for Transgender & Genderqueer Folks

I believe strongly that positive touch can help us to heal painful disconnection from our bodies and remind us that our bodies can be a happy place to live. In this way, massage can be a important part of your transition, regardless of what you choose in regards to transitioning or physical expressions of gender. In addition to emotional benefits, massage can help to:

• ease muscular imbalances from binding and support deep breathing
• facilitate your lymphatic system in processing supplemental hormones to reduce side-effects
• smoothe and release scar tissue postoperatively (mastectomy, trachea, facial reconstruction, etc.)

I will always do my best to support your choices around your health and your identity.
