I employ a unique touch technique designed to harmonize your body at its core, working with gentle movement and through the nervous system rather than focusing solely on muscle tissue manipulation.
This approach effectively addresses muscle pain, tension patterns, and stress-related issues.

I use a unique form of touch that serves as a conductor of rhythmic movement, helping to recalibrate the body at the cellular level through the nervous system, rather than just muscle tissue.

Testimonials

“Ara is unlike other massage therapists that I have experienced. Rather than working through the body in a pattern, she seems to seek out those places that need special care and to spend the time on them that they need. This has led to deep relaxation and a feeling of release. I believe she is a gifted healer."

“I had a lot of soreness in my neck and shoulders. This was hands down the best, most thorough massage I have ever had. All my soreness was greatly relieved and I had a lasting feeling of lightness of movement in my whole body. Ara was warm, friendly and professional. I will definitely be returning."

“I recently started with Ara. I find her style to be healing and intuitive. She takes her time to evaluate what needs to be done and listens to what it is I need out of a session.”

“Ara is very sensitive and skilled. She tunes in to each person, each session, and so every massage is different depending on what is needed at the time. Her massages feel both gentle and deep. When I have asked, she has offered suggestions about stretches and other self-care. I believe she is trustworthy as a bodyworker - and a delightful person."

A bit more on my approach…
Bodywork is a form of self-care with a crucial role in preventative healthcare. My work aims to bring you into a renewed relationship with your health that goes beyond standard massage and other forms of short-term self-care. In addition to physical care, mindset cultivation and personal development are essential factors for long-term health and well-being.
