Honoring Your Body's Wisdom
A soft and nurturing massage with sustained attention and refined listening to areas of bound energy gently encourages your body's own inherent wisdom and healing capacity to direct the session.
My Approach
I draw primarily from Biodynamic Cranial and Massage work, which I bring wholeheartedly into each session. Biodynamic work is based on trusting the movement of life while setting aside motives to fix or effect change by will. We allow your body's inherent healing capacity to guides what emerges. This might mean long, still holds in specific areas or gentle flowing strokes, and sometimes deeper body weight pressure. I endeavor to attune precisely to what your system is asking for in each moment with my proximity, pressure and placement in space.You'll find your session enriched with subtle attunement techniques, and woven together through my foundational training in Swedish Massage, Myofascial Release, and Shiatsu.
I am also now offering Manual Lymphatic Drainage sessions, as a Vodder Method certified practitioner. This is a slow, soothing, rhythmic session that is performed on bare skin but without oil. The beauty of this work is how it supports the fluid body to find greater ease and flow, decreasing tissue congestion and inflammation. This can help to reduce pain and swelling and increase range of motion where needed, while promoting deep relaxation.

Marie’s massage was so centering and healing.
Her knowledge of the body is detailed and her intuition is clear- addressing areas where I held tension while also encompassing a very flowing, relaxing style. I felt held in a cocoon of healing presence, energy and touch- feeling both myofascial release as well as a deep connection to my body and spirit.

For Those Seeking Deeper Connection
I have found that my work best serves people who are interested in exploring how stillness and connection can support vitality. I find that a lighter touch brings greater softening of tissues as we allow ourselves to drop into the emergent moment. I approach our work as a mutual process of unfoldment that we embody together.
What I Don't Offer
I don't provide deep tissue or sports massage, or work in a targeted way to impose my will on the tissues. My interest lies in connection and genuine presence for healing wisdom to unfold naturally.
