Hello and welcome! Massage is something I've practiced actively since 2005. Sounds simple right? I hope that you'll be next and book a session with me today.
My observances of the mind-body connection has evolved to the point that I believe posture, movement awareness and well being are all linked. For example my shoulders are more limber and relaxed when I'm good with my self care. I notice a difference in my giving of massage and giving a deep tissue session doesn't wear on my body as much. There's that pleasant ripple effect through out my life that has that global benefit. If I can bring this kind of well being and ease to you in your daily life, I'd like to. A simple "wow, that's sore" when I work on a spot you didn't know was bothering you or was contributing to some active pain could turn into a minor change in your daily practices that leads to some more ease in your life. I've gotten into the habit of trying to help the world be a better place one person at a time.

You have until Jan 1st to pre-purchase some massage sessions after which I'm raising my rates. A client made a good point about this yesterday and I thought I'd broadcast it to those of you that'd be interested. I'm raising all of my rates except for the recurring monthly subscription intended for returning clients.
I'm hosting another of my 3x a month Authentic Relating this eve at 6pm. Doors close at 6:05 before I go over the agreements and "container" for the space.
If these 5 agreements sound good to you, come on over and play some interpersonal games after practicing listening skills during our usual "extended check ins."
Through February 2026, Coconut Scalp Cocoon add ons are no charge with 90 minute sessions. Receive some Nurture if you wish. Cocoon is timestamped in the video for your preview convenience.
Some business house keeping;
-Jan 1st I will be maintaining my offer of a monthly 90min massage subscription for $100 but will be raising my rates for all other services.
-As of Jan 1st all massage therapists become "mandatory reporters" of child abuse.
-I'll be sending out emails to all clients on my current list and will be "pruning" who wishes to be contacted about what classes etc by the new year.
That's all for now. Thank y'all for your continued trust, practice and growth as we move through time together.

I'm co hosting Authentic Relating as usual tomorrow at 5:30 at Sacred Connections. Donations go to support the space. Free booking with address email/text reminders is available under the "classes" section of my website if that helps you attend.
Additionally, based some conversations I've had this week, I feel compelled to re-share these interviews I had with some local professions on the general topic of Safety from different perspectives. As we head into the holidaze season, I hope that all acknowledge that we are all doing the best we can and that we try to make this world easier for one another.

AR description for if you'd like to forward to someone in your life
that you think would benefit and attend a class;
If you choose to attend Authentic Relating, you are choosing to learn
to be more you through play. The 5 agreements of Authentic Relating
create a framework that, when followed, creates a safe space to take
care of yourself in relation with others. Authentic Relating (AR)
differs from "typical" social contracts by illuminating the internal
implicit relational habits you've formed in your journey so far by
bringing them into the external explicit through a rich library of
games.
The five agreements;
1. Respect yourself.
2. Lean into your edge.
3. Stay present.
4. Confidentiality upon request.
5. Check your assumptions.
Before the class begins, I will go over the general principles of AR,
reflective listening skills and the 5 agreements. I believe it's
important to take the time to ensure that each person can ask any
clarifying question and understand the "why" of the agreements.
As many of these relating games can bring up strong emotions as you play with these implicit concepts, I have learned to set a non-negotiable pre-requisite of this class to be that you are able to meditate in self reflection for 3 minutes. This prerequisite is for your emotional safety. While I hope that this class is therapeutic for you, I am neither a trained therapist nor am I encouraging therapy or "trauma dumping" like interactions to happen during these classes. As a listener, it is always your right to stop any interaction you are not comfortable engaging in. "Respect yourself" is agreement number one for a reason.
If you choose to attend Authentic Relating this evening hosted by Gabriel SpringSnow LMT at 6PM, you are choosing to explore your implicit biases in how you relate to yourself and others through play.
After the external doors are closed at 6:05 I'll go over the 5 agreements of Authentic Relating (AR) to create a framework that, when followed, can create a safe space to take care of just yourself and trust that the "other" is doing the same. This "AR" space differs from the "autopilot" you experience daily by illuminating the relational habits we have all learned since growing into adulthood.
I charge $5 and here is the address: 1245 Charnelton St suite 8, Eugene, OR 97402
The five agreements;
Respect yourself.
Lean into your edge.
Stay present.
Confidentiality upon request.
Check your assumptions.
As many of the relating games can bring up strong emotions as you play with these concepts, I have learned to go over the "why" of each agreement every class with every student and have set a non-negotiable pre-requisite to be that you are able to meditate in self reflection for 3 minutes before beginning AR.
I do hope that this class is very therapeutic for you however, I am neither trained a therapists nor am I encouraging therapy to happen during these classes. If your intention is to non consensually "dump" your "stuff" on others, this is not the class for you and every person is welcome at any time to "take care of themselves" by concluding a conversation at any time. I do have a referral network of licensed therapists that I'd be happy to refer you to if that is a path you wish to pursue.

Succinctly put, I believe that posture and well being are linked on some level. This may sound self explanatory but in my massage practice I’ve found it’s very often unconscious muscle recruitment patterns to this or that movement that contribute to chronic “stuff” in the body. A simple “wow, I didn’t know that was sore" on your part could morph into some daily body awareness practice towards a minor movement adjustment that mitigates pain over time in your muscles, joints and fascia.
I offer to your door step, in-home table or Thia massage bodywork in the Eugene, OR area. My rates are $80 an hr, $100 for 1.5hr and $120 for a 2hr session. I am working on being able to take some insurances but am currently a cash/card payment, to your door step business. If you would like, do check that out my fb business page and the varied events I offer. Community support is the only way a business thrives.
I’ve practiced massage in both relaxation focused spas and in medically oriented settings since the beginning of my career in 2005. I look forward to working with you over and hope to continue to help the world be a better place, one massage at a time.
