So excited to have Lilly in our Space! Booking now!

I am “over the moon” as they say, about the opportunity to begin offering Sound Healing Sessions at the Held Space!

As early as this Tuesday, December 5, you can book a one-on-one or small group session (2-4 participants) and feel stress and tension melt away as the healing frequencies of crystal singing bowls and soothing wave sounds of the ocean drum wash over you!

Will Healing Frequencies benefit you on your path? Is Sound Healing a good fit for your needs at this time?
Reach out to me HERE (comments or DM) OR at healing.frequencies812@gmail.com with questions!

Visit https://calendly.com/healing-frequencies812 for details and booking.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share a little update, as I’m not on this page too often.

I stopped accepting new clients in December 2021, and closed my waitlist last week. I’m so grateful to have a full schedule with so many wonderful humans. ♥️

If you’d like to be contacted when I reopen my waitlist, sign up here:
docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfobcO_irisvYZOwi5rXh8cRzLHUm6nMJbAtckzKfKTxvSOQA/viewform?usp=send_form

If we have worked together in the past, but it’s been over 6 months, I’d be happy to see you. However, I currently don’t have room to accommodate you in a regular basis. You are welcome to check out my openings here: heldbodywork.com/bookservices (It’s always worth checking for cancellation openings last minute, too!)

If you’re looking to get back into a massage routine, I have a fantastic list of massage therapists I can refer you to.

I’m absolutely humbled to say the least. If you want to stay in the loop, I share more regularly on my Instagram page, .

If you'd like to be contacted directly when Held's bodywork waitlist re-opens, please sign up here. You'll be the first to know!

Herbal-infused oils + crafted essential oil blends for your bodywork sessions ✨

I’ve been dreaming up this project for well over a year, and I’m so glad to have these offerings ready for you. Essential oil blends for aroma-therapeutics (small bottles), and herbal oils for topical reception (larger bottles). Each herb was intentionally selected and crafted with their herbal actions and essences in mind, with hopes to cultivate a deeper relationship in my garden this summer. Processed over a full moon 🌕 🌱✨ (Not pictured: Rose/Mugwort/Calendula)

I can’t even pick a favorite 😍

Can’t wait for February 13th (yes, galantines day 💗). This class will be centered around finding relaxed connection with ourselves and a partner through touch and breath. We will begin with a few exercises to anchor within our own bodies. Then we will exchange gentle massage! When you sign up, there is room for you to express any requests you may have. This workshop will be curated to the requests of the folks who sign up. Please let me know if you have any questions or want a “vibe check” call. ✨

When I say that I am a trauma informed bodyworker, I’m signaling to you that my practice is centered on creating a container for you to been seen and held in your whole humanity. I believe in building a therapeutic relationship with my clients. Trust cannot be assumed or earned, but cultivated over time- on your timeline. Clear communication, collaboration, consent, and choice are actively practiced to create a “brave space” where you may be able to access your internal safety easier.

I wanted to share some examples of ways you can practice choice in your massage sessions, and a gentle reminder: no matter how much education I acquire- I will never know more about your body than you.

Hi, I’m Chloe! ✨
A re-introduction of myself for anyone new here! I’m a massage therapist in Bloomington, IN. In 2021, I launched my private practice, Held Bodywork. Held is centered on providing a trauma-informed space for women and the LGBTQIA+ community to receive quality bodywork. Cultivating community support and reliance is a pillar in my practice through held’s sliding scale pricing model, mutual aid bodywork fund and business practices. I operate within my scope of practice and love referring folks out to other incredible space holders in our community. Through 2021 and now 2022, I’ve been studying applied neuroscience in bodywork for post-traumatic growth. 🌀

Before I’m a helper, I’m a human. My professional identity is a piece of my whole-self. I am also a deep-feeler, loving partner, le***an woman, a body of water, neurodivergent, ♓️ 🌞 ♍️ 🌚, anti-speciest vegan, ex-evangelical and a human being. I’ve been working to cultivate space and balance for my full-spectrum humanness to exist in my being, life and work as well as honoring the ever expansive, interconnected network of communal existence.♥️

I use this account as a hybrid space for mainly my work, some community shares and pieces of myself. 1:1 sessions are centered around you, your needs and your experiences. Here, you can learn more about the human behind the hands as well as massage/wellness content and last minute openings.

My schedule is currently full, and am on a waitlist for new clients, for the time being, which you can sign up for here: heldbodywork.com

I’d love to work with you in 2022!
