The (dare I say inaugural?) drag story hour was so much fun! Ms. Reese S. Pieces read a few books and answered a lot of delightful questions! We all danced and learned more about HB 249 and how to push back against harmful legislation.

I'm so grateful to for coming out and sharing the morning with us, and for the families that participated!

Drag is for everyone!

I'm so excited to announce Drag Queen Story Hour, April 25th at 10:30AM at Be Well Collective! We will hear children's stories read by Reese S. Pieces, have a short Q&A, and learn how we can fight HB 249-- an effort to criminalize drag and target trans folks in Ohio.

This is a free event open to all ages, with an opportunity to donate to TransOhio! Hope to see you there.

Just casually existing as a visible trans person on this Trans Day of Visibility!

A reminder that trans and gender-expansive people are actively being targeted by federal and state governments across the country (and world), and there is little to no protection towards transphobic violence as rights are being continuously stripped from us. But as I heard someone say at the hearings for HB 68 two years ago, I would choose to be trans in every lifetime. Recognizing and honoring this part of my identity has been so life-giving, affirming, and joyous for me, and despite the constant fear of harm sanctioned by my government against me, I would not change this for the world.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, loves. This world is so much better with you showing up as the most authentic version of yourself, and you are deserving of love, safety, joy, and community. I am glad you're here! ❤️

As of today, I am now offering a new add-on for all in-office massages! Add hot towels to provide extra relief to a group of muscles and get a sticker from local artist/tattoo master , and all proceeds will be matched and donated to Ohio Immigrant Alliance! Let's show up for our immigrant neighbors and melt some ICE.

Celebrating the third anniversary of my top surgery by sharing a self-massage for scars, and a little discount for scar remediation! Use SCARLOVE to get 10% off any scar remediation booked before 12/18.

Not shown in the video is me applying a mixture of arnica, moringa, and St John's wart oil to the scars. Caring for your scars is a beautiful way to show your body some kindness!

The Universe read my clients to filth again yesterday! 😂
I offer tarot pulls to go along with massages, helping guide the flow of the massage and allowing the client something to focus their energy on while we work. It's fun, generally insightful, and best of all, the proceeds are matched and donated to ! There is no liberation for some of us without liberation for us all.

In addition to working in my office, I have had the privilege of doing in-home massages in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, yoga studios, hair salons, a houseboat, and art studios. I've met a lot of cats and dogs and a chinchilla, and have worked around piles of books and artwork and houseplants and furniture. Yesterday I was able to do a handful of massages in .dax studio (if the artwork looks familiar to you, I have a piece from him hanging in my office). I love being able to do in-home massage!

For Cincinnati folks, I somewhat regularly come to town for in-home work; if you want to book, please reach out and we can discuss it! (All the merrier if you and a few friends want to make a day of it and do a series of massages in a row!)

I'm grateful for this job and for all of the unique ways it allows me to connect with people. What a gift to know you all!

I got a message awhile back from an artist in New York () asking if they could do an art trade by proxy for a friend who lives in Columbus. 100% yes! I told them my general art theme is trans joy, and the quote "you have the right to make your body home." They gave me these three pieces (and several more! An abundance of beauty!) so their friend could come in for safe, affirming massages.

This is what I love so much about the q***r community; we show up for each other because we understand that we cannot do this life on our own. We love each other loudly and fiercely and are the better for it. This community-turned-family is where I learned just how transformative love can be.

This is a celebration of q***rness, and a gentle reminder to ask your community for what you need. We are here for each other, we are not meant to do this alone.

August! Can you believe? I'm excited to share a few new offerings I'm launching TODAY, and a discount code that will be up today and tomorrow only!

First: I have been doing free tarot readings with massages for several months; those will now be $5 but all of the proceeds from the readings will go to

Second: have you had a 90-minute massage and thought "I wish this could be even longer?" Wish granted! I am now offering 2 hour massages!

Third: I offer CBD lotion for massages, which is now going to be a few more dollars. I want to make this as affordable and accessible as possible because it's SO good and helpful, but it is pricey to buy! It is now $7.50 per massage. Try it and fall in love!

Finally: it's my birthday tomorrow! To celebrate, I'm offering a 10% discount that you can use today and tomorrow when you schedule online! Just use the promo code BIRTHDAYBEAR

I am so grateful to be doing this work and being in community with all of you. Stay hydrated and be well!

The first specialty that I focused on outside of massage was perinatal work. I am certified to work with prenatal and postpartum clients, and have training in Cesarean scar tissue remediation.

Prenatal massage provides relief to the pregnant person and allows their body and mind to relax. Postpartum massage focuses on letting the body know pregnancy is over and getting a person to come back into their body. Scar tissue work can help reduce scar tissue rooting, increases nerve sensation, and improve circulation along the scar. All three are great massages!

I love doing these massages and working with perinatal clients, but have seen a significant drop in these services recently. I think massage is a really helpful tool to deal with a lot of physical aches and pains in both the pregnant and postpartum phases! If you've been looking for a perinatal massage therapist, consider this your sign to check out my services! (And no, you do not have to be q***r or trans to come see me ❤️)

I also offer gift cards, a fantastic gift if you have someone in your life who is preparing to give birth or recently did so!
