I’m a queer, non-binary, disabled bodyworker. I live in South Philly with my spouse and my senior Pittie mix dog. I’m passionate about providing affordable, restorative, and trauma-informed bodywork to the Queer and Trans community.

I attended Philadelphia School of Massage and Bodywork, graduating in March of 2022. I focused on Swedish Massage and Myofascial Release while in school. I am licensed and insured, as well as a member of the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP).

My work is rooted in Fat Liberationist, Disability Justice, Anti-Capitalist, and Anti-Racist principles, as well as trauma informed frameworks. I provide queer friendly, gay friendly, trans affirming bodywork. I am dedicated to creating a restful experience for all bodies to release and expand in safety. I believe all bodies are wonderful and deserve rest, care, compassionate touch, and infinite gentleness.

Honoring Queer Magic

As a queer person, I understand the many barriers that anyone who is queer, trans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or gender non-conforming may face in accessing bodywork. Receiving a massage requires trust and vulnerability, both of which can be so much easier when working with someone in your community, in an LGBTQ affirming environment, who can see and understand who you are. If there’s anything I can do to make you feel more comfortable receiving a massage, reach out and let me know! I’d love to know how I can best support you.
