ABOUT ME
HI, I'M MASHA
My passion for massage therapy and bodywork comes from a core belief:
Disconnection from us and our bodies is affecting our well-being and how we relate to others (sometimes without us noticing) but is oftentimes necessary in the overwhelming world we live in.
It is not just about individual well-being but extends to health, relationships, and communities. While the ability to disconnect can be a lifesaving mechanism in the human experience many of us forget the ways of how to reconnect with ourselves, our bodies, our communities. Touch is the tool that is most authentic to me to bridge this gap. Getting back in touch with the body will not just affect the relationship to oneself but also to others and how we move through life.
MY APPROACH
When a client walks into the space, it should feel like a safe and nurturing environment for healing. Trust, clear boundaries, and a shared commitment to understanding individual needs set the stage for our work. Communication, active listening, and presence are the guiding principles of my practice. Creating a container that practitioner and client can both relax into - this is where sustainable change can happen.
EVERY BODY IS UNIQUE
Navigating through life as a cis-female, queer person I aim to provide an accessible, nonjudgmental, and trauma-informed space especially for women and queer folks. I'm always open to learning from every Body and its unique story. Before each session, we engage in a dialogue to understand the needs and boundaries of the body on that day, creating a personalized environment of safety and well-being.
Touch is timeless. Its effectiveness and importance for us is just better studied by now.
LIFE BEYOND THE TREATMENT ROOM
Outside my practice, you'll find me messing around with a chunk of clay, getting lost in a forest or listening to podcasts - the geekier the better. Meditation keeps me grounded when my inner and outer worlds get messy. My friendships and relationships keep me sane when the world once again seems to drift into insanity.
