Florence
Welcome to my practice! I love helping people find greater ease and comfort in their bodies and quiet time amidst the stresses of life. I do my best to create a safe place where people can heal from injuries and trauma, increase physical fluidity and flexibility, and reset body and mind. I have been a massage therapist since 1997 and continue to be a firm believer in the transformative power of massage. I’ve spent my career exploring various types of therapeutic massage and bodywork. My specialties include Deep Tissue, Medical, Orthopedic, Pre and Perinatal massage massage and Trauma Informed Bodywork. My approach is nurturing, holistic, restorative and tailored to individual needs.
What is Trauma-Informed Massage Therapy?
Trauma-aware or trauma-informed massage therapy is massage therapy that prioritizes:
Safety
I work with you to help you feel physically and emotionally safe. This means taking care to avoid re-traumatization and taking extra steps to communicate.
Collaboration and shared decision-making
Healing happens in relationships and in the meaningful sharing of power and decision-making. I encourage you to actively co-create your session.
Empowerment and choice
Every person's experience is unique and requires an individualized approach. I take extra steps to structure your session in alignment with your needs and preferences. You are a client, not a patient.
“Our bodies communicate to us clearly and specifically if we are willing to listen.”
