Loving to see the flowers starting to come out! If you find yourself sore from the changing of the seasons, I have availability Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays for mobile massage sessions in the Richmond area. As always, body positive and radically inclusive.

Hypermobility is when a person's joints will move outside of the natural range of motion, for some people this is just a quirk of their body and for others it can take the form of hypermobility disorders leading to dislocations and subluxations (partial dislocations). This can be a source of pain and discomfort for many, and in my practice I have made it a priority to learn and understand ways to provide massage without excessive stretching, exiting a normal range of motion, or deep pressure directly on joints. Throughout a session with me I will brace a person's joints as I provide pressure over the area, and practice mindfulness throughout the session to the direction of work I am doing as to not exit a normal range of motion or separate a joint on an individual. I know there's no one size fits all for bodywork, so every session will always be tailored to an individual's needs. Have any questions? Please reach out and ask! I'm more then happy to share my experience and answer any questions you might have.

Reminder for the day your body is a great body because it's yours! Curves, rolls, fat, birth marks, stretch marks, veins and body hair are all completely normal. Nobody has a magazine cover body and I think it's important to highlight and embrace all the things that make you your authentic beautiful self!

I believe in fostering an inclusive and radically accepting place where people can feel confident and comfortable in their skin.

Happy Monday everyone!

Authentic Us RVA is built on a sliding scale pay structure for massage services, that means I am able to offer sessions for lower than average for those who otherwise might not have access to these services, and in that also ask that those who are financially able utilize the higher end of the pay scale. In the future as I am able I will be donating a set amount of hours at no cost, it's important to me to be accessible to my community! More details about how this structure works and who qualifies can be found on my website, and I welcome anyone with any questions to reach out.

1 in 3 people experience neck pain at least once a year, which can be antagonized by the changing of the seasons, old injuries, poor posture, or extended time spent working on phones and computers. Massage can be an extremely effective treatment for relieving some of the tension and stress that contributes to the pain and stiffness, especially using gentle guided stretches and release techniques on upper and lower muscle attachments. Did you know the muscles that effect neck pain can attach all the way up your head to down your back?

The healthiest body type is the body type that feels good to YOU. The concept of health is extremely individual, every body is built differently and every person has a different life style, preference, body type or conditions that help shape what the image of healthy and happy is to the individual. I firmly believe all bodies are good bodies and will never pass judgment, give unsolicited advice, or push any kind of alternative "health" agenda when working with you. I've unfortunately heard from clients and friends horror stories of being talked down to, shamed, and given unsolicited advice on how their body was viewed, which is one of the most unacceptable things a massage therapist can do when people are coming to you with trust and seeking a safe space. I promise that will never happen in this practice, I fully embrace and accept all body types.

Your body is a great body because it's yours! 💙

Inclusive mobile massage and bodywork services available in Richmond, VA!

One small way I strive to be mindful and inclusive is to always check in about potential allergies as well as preferences with the oils and lotions I use. I try to always use oils and lotions without any added fragrance, and with few enough ingredients I can always easily let you know exactly what I'm using. I understand there's a lot of people out there with sensitivities, allergies, as well as sensory preferences and this is a small but important way I accommodate that!

There will never be any judgment or prejudice when working with you on the basis of gender, sexuality, body type, race, ethnicity, religion or other aspects that make you your authentic self. It's my vision to create a safe space where everyone feels welcome and safe coming as they are without judgment. Massage and bodywork should be a relaxing, safe, and empowering experience for all- not just those that fit into a bracket!
