Maya Erfourth, LMT

08/28/2025

I figured it was time for a little re-introduction, so hey there folks! I’m Maya, a Massage Therapist located in the Madison area. 😊

I recently changed my insta handle to align more with my work, and because…I mean common… MAYAfascia?!! How could I not. 🤪
and.me —> .lmt

Different name, same game: pulling the veil back on bodywork + empowering you to take care of the vessel you call home.

As a bodyworker, I am passionate about working alongside the nervous system to soothe Myofascial tension patterns, reduce pain, and increase mobility in joints and tissues so you can continue doing what you love.

I also strive to educate clients (and anyone who will listen🤭) about self care + how to manage pain at home. I love it so much, I put together and taught a partner massage workshop earlier this year —and it was a blast! I look forward to more events and classes in the future.

If you’re interested in keeping up with me off of social media, I write and send a semi-regular email newsletter that I adoringly named “Dear Body”. It’s an all inclusive space to nurture a more compassionate relationship with your body. 🫀

My goal is to create a safe space on my table, for anyone and any body. We all deserve to be taken care of, yes, even you, friend. 🌿

When I’m not at the studio you can find me hanging with friends, making up silly songs in my kitchen with my partner G, snuggling my orange tabby, or recording a Dungeons and Dragons podcast with my family 🐉 ( ilysm)

You can book with me, give me a review, or sign up for Dear Body at the inklay inay myay iobay (pig Latin, anyone?)

That’s enough for now, I dare you to have a good day, not take life too seriously, and be nice to yourself!! 🫵🏻

K love you bye 😘

*ahem* let me step up onto my soap box for a moment… 📦

There is ~so such thing~ as a “bad” body part.

For better or worse, we are interconnected with our bodies + they listen. If we are constantly injecting fear and negativity towards sensations in our systems, we are only adding noise to the alarms that are already sounding.

I encourage you to pause + reframe to curiosity the next time you have discomfort, or a part of your body is talking to you.

Try these alternatives to labeling and isolating a part of your body as “bad”

❣️ my injured ____

❣️ my ____ is trying it’s best

❣️ my ____ has been talking to me recently, and I’m ready to listen.

❣️ my ____ needs a little extra attention + support.

If you struggle to find compassion for discomfort in your body, know that you aren’t alone. The pain response is evolutionarily meant to get your attention, but that attention doesn’t need to be negative.

These small shifts can help to lessen your nervous systems response to pain, hopefully leading to turning down the dial on your sensation in the long run.

You won’t be perfect, I know I’m not, but the intentional shift towards curiosity and listening has improved my relationship with pain + my body. ❤️‍🩹

Repeat after me: “we listen and we don’t judge”

If you want to learn more about ways to meet your body with compassion, subscribe to my email newsletter: Dear Body. (🔗 in B!o)

In it I will be exploring ways to meet your body where it’s at, introducing ways to take care of your body at home, and much more. 🌿

Okay, stepping of the soap box now, happy reframing! You’ve got this! 💪🏻

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need “something to fix” to schedule an appointment with your favorite bodyworker.

You can schedule an appointment because you have a body. Period. ❣️

I am here to hold space for you, so you can show up however you need to on the day of your appointment.

Making time to meet your body where it’s at, settle the mind, and switch into your parasympathetic nervous system has long lasting positive effects for your overall wellbeing. 🌿

I am happy to assist you in taking a quiet moment for yourself, reducing tension + pain, increasing mobility, or elevating a nap— but you don’t need fixing, friend. I’m proud of you for simply showing up. 🥹

Schedule your next appointment by following that 🔗 in you-know-where. 😊

One year ago yesterday I graduated from massage school 👀

One year of traveling to friends and family to provide healing touch in the comfort of their homes 🏡

One year of rooting into my community and settling into the wonderful space that is Twisted Grit Yoga 🧘‍♀️

One year of facilitating healing through compassionate touch 🫶🏻

One year of learning how to take care of myself, so I can take care of others 💪🏻

One year of organizing, and reorganizing my storage closet of all of my massage gear 😳

One year of offering a glimpse into the world of bodywork online ✨

One year, and many more to come.

Happy Gradiversary to (lmt +) me! 🥳

It truly was a beautiful day 🌈

Still cheesin’ about the Sun Prairie Pride Fest this past Saturday 🥰

It was inspiring to meet everyone and hear their stories. The struggle to find an inclusive and safe body worker is real in the LGBTQIA+ community, and I am honored to provide that space at Twisted Grit Yoga.

I look forward to doing more events in the future, meeting humans face to face just can’t be beat!

Happy Pride, friends 🌈
