Working with Virginia

I help discerning individuals live pain-free lives in connected, comfortable bodies nourished by touch, so they can bring their full focus and intention to their passions. I build nurturing relationships with my clients that go above and beyond, with exquisitely sensitive, anatomically precise bodywork, cupping therapy, and client education on self-care practices.

I draw from many techniques, including Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Therapy, Advanced Myofascial Technique, Cupping Therapy, Vedic Thai Bodywork, and Gua Sha (a.k.a. scraping, Graston, or instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM)). There is no need for you to choose between modalities; I bring all of my tools and expertise to each and every session.

We'll sit down together when you arrive to review your health history and discuss what to work on in our session. We'll also speak for several minutes afterwards, to review our session and discuss how to move forward. At that time I’ll offer some personalized strategies to enhance your self-care between appointments.

I look forward to helping you enjoy living in your body — you deserve it!
