Shiatsu, massage, cupping - I am trained in east Asian modalities to heal your body/mind/spirit using a combination of touch and energy therapies. I am a queer trans man who specializes in clients whose bodies and experiences are frequently ignored or shamed by other healthcare providers. Our bodies are remarkable machines capable of miraculous healing, and many tools can be used together to support this process. Zen Shiatsu is a form of bodywork that works muscles, joints, and nerves, but also energy within the meridians (known as qi). It encourages release of blockages and brings the body into a relaxed state to encourage self-healing.
