I teach individuals how to care for their own bodies; and I teach friends, families and partners how to use bodywork to connect with and care for each other. I encourage clients to purchase a multi-session package to help build a habit of regular, therapeutic body engagement. Individual session and package options are available. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f21e4f22d36ac60b089a07f/1598387450092-97Z5DSXZRW2B08LGMAT3/Massage_Offerpage.png What I Offer - Hands-On Bodywork When it’s warm enough in spring 2021, I will offer 30-minute, outdoor sessions where I use therapeutic touch to help people find ease within their bodies. Modalities Barnes Myofascial Release uses prolonged holds to release tension in the body’s fascial matrix, improving joint motion, organ function, and essential fluid movement like blood, lymph and cerebrospinal fluid. Shiatsu translates to "finger-pressure" in Japanese. Kneading, pressing, vibrating, and stretching techniques restore optimal nervous system function, energetic balance, and proper skeletal alignment. Rehabilitative Massage uses precise anatomical knowledge to remove scar tissue adhesions, disperse trigger points, and improve muscle strength and range of motion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f21e4f22d36ac60b089a07f/1598387333966-F1VIWHPTB3TCDB1DV0U4/TRE_Offerpage.png What I Offer - Tension Releasing Exercises (TRE) These 60-minute, online sessions use exercises developed by Dr. David Berceli to initiate neurogenic tremors in the body. Neurogenic tremors are a natural part of the human nervous system, meant to help the body discharge energy after stressful experiences. In a TRE session, tremors move through the body to release tension, disrupt pain, and help the body/person feel more alive + awake. Clients learn to self-regulate during the process, staying in the present moment and cultivating a bodily sense of safety while shaking. I practice TRE with individuals and with groups of 2-3 people. All first-time TRE clients must purchase a 4 Session Package, and should expect to schedule sessions each week for a month. I recommend this format to returning clients as well. Individual sessions and 2 and 6 session packages are also available. Once I am confident in your ability to self-regulate while shaking, I encourage you to use TRE without my support if you would like to. https://www.luminbodywork.com/slidingscalerates daily 0.75 2022-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f21e4f22d36ac60b089a07f/1602354409233-3NUT3HO9H76603J3VU3U/Screen+Shot+2020-10-10+at+1.26.05+PM.png Sliding Scale Rates Group Sessions (2-3 People Attending)—TRE or Online Self-Care https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f21e4f22d36ac60b089a07f/1602353970122-GE52TE7X82GM58WJC7MW/Screen+Shot+2020-10-10+at+1.18.20+PM.png Sliding Scale Rates In-Person Bodywork Session Rates (Available May 1, 2021) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f21e4f22d36ac60b089a07f/1618514995314-6W1040V39O217MEV9294/Screen+Shot+2021-04-15+at+2.27.06+PM.png Sliding Scale Rates https://www.luminbodywork.com/home daily 1.0 2023-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f21e4f22d36ac60b089a07f/1598641538826-CTTIHQNRSNNEKWBXXP9H/Hero+Illustration_Homepage.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f21e4f22d36ac60b089a07f/1598386538228-9NK4WF7FYE36AS0E6TVQ/Myofacial_Color_200px.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f21e4f22d36ac60b089a07f/1598385443919-SG9YVWYQGOXH9Y4GOR36/Online_color_200px.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f21e4f22d36ac60b089a07f/1599664600208-MJS11ZYZR8LQ2A93E84L/TREGIF_withBG_200px.gif Home - TRE is so great!

I believe that healing in any one body is linked to healing in the collective, and that resistance to the dehumanizing forces of white supremacy, ongoing settler colonialism, and capitalism benefits us all. My understanding of well-being is informed by my own healing journey, and the good advice of various mentors in bodywork, talk therapy, energy work, movement and dance. In my free time I connect with beloved community and the outdoor world around me. My Training I am a trauma-informed, certified massage and shiatsu therapist with over 1,500 hours of accredited training and additional education in Barnes myofascial release, tension releasing exercises (TRE), craniosacral techniques, and qigong tuina. I am an active member of Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP), and received a B.A. in English Literature from Bowdoin College.
