I felt so comfortable and able to trust Airen, and I loved the physical relief from the massage but also getting to talk and laugh and be silly! Very holistic experience :) I genuinely appreciate Airen so much, and I feel lucky to have been connected to them! I felt so comfortable and heard and held, and was simultaneously relaxed and ecstatic for hours after. I’m grateful for their kindness, intentionality, and infinite gentleness :) <3

Airen has a skilled and caring approach to their craft. They include their clients in every part of the process. I felt listened to and that my needs would be taken seriously during our time together. It is clear how much thought they put into making their practice accessible and collaborative. On top of that, their studio is clean, relaxing, and the heated massage table is enough to go back for on its own :)

Airen is so calm, patient, and accommodating. They asked what I needed/wanted that day, how I was feeling in my body, if I wanted the table heater on and/or the windows open, announced before they touched a body part, and continually checked in throughout the entire massage. SO SO SO SO thankful there is a queer/trans affirming/trauma-informed massage therapist in my price range. Dream come true. I've been booking regular monthly appointments; I wish I could go even more frequently than that!

I felt very comfortable and like I had the space and time to check in with my own needs. Airen was very validating and supportive of my anxieties around massage. I absolutely loved the checklist of communication options they gave me - I have never received anything like that and it allowed me to feel empowered and safe. I’m so grateful for their gentle and healing touch <333

Airen immediately made me feel welcome and safe. They have an incredibly calming presence and I had a very healing experience.

The experience was really great! I really appreciate the option for a sliding scale, being able to see a trans provider, and getting to chat before and after the session. I felt really comfortable in the space and found the massage extremely helpful for reducing the chronic pain that I experience daily and also for processing some emotions.

The whole experience was nice. I was surprised to get a chance to talk about what I wanted from the session and how I was feeling for the day. There was so much care that went into the preparation for the session and the actual bodywork itself. The extended table was amazing and so comfortable. I was so grateful for the masking policy and appreciated how much Airen worked to make every step focused on consent.
The massage was so nice, I never once had to brace for pain and I didn’t have to keep asking for a more gentle massage like I have with other providers. I felt very cared for and it helped boost my mood and decreased my PMDD symptoms post massage. Also, shout out to their focus on queer and trans community, fat liberation, trauma informed care and interest in treating people with chronic pain and illness.
