Never booked a massage that comes to YOU before? 🙋

A lot of people tell me they weren't sure what to expect the first time — and honestly, that's the number one thing that holds people back from booking.

No spa. No traffic. No awkward waiting room. Just show up in your own home and let me handle the rest.

Curious about Myofascial Release but not sure what actually happens during a session? This isn’t a slippery Swedish massage. It’s slow, intentional work with little to no oil, using gentle traction to help the fascia unwind, soften, and move the way it’s supposed to.
