PILATES

A  system of movement designed to increase core strength and pelvic floor while supporting the spine, increasing flexibility, blood flow, and breath.

Privatized sessions are customized to meet your individual  needs.

THERAPEUTIC  MASSAGE

Using a variety of massage techniques to achieve structural changes within the body to relieve pain, improve flexibility of movement, and increase circulation and relaxation for overall health.

PELVIC FLOOR MASSAGE

Pelvic floor massage is a combination of physical and energetic techniques designed to release muscular and fascial tension within the pelvic bowl; it can address current physical symptoms, and symptoms associated with birth, emotional, or sexual trauma that the body may hold within the pelvic floor.

I am a certified Holistic Pelvic Care™ practitioner and also certified in Bodywork for the Female Pelvic Floor by Leslie Stager with Integrative Bodywork for Women

PRENATAL & POSTPARTUM MASSAGE

Pregnancy Massage is a specialized treatment for expectant mothers. Using the MotherTouch prenatal holistic massage approach I offer a massage focused on nurturing, creating space, and relieving tension within the mother’s body during pregnancy. 
​
After the baby is born, a woman's body is adjusting to its new transformed changes.  Postpartum massage can help guide the internal organs back to their original position, re-align the hips, and relieve the muscular tension that develops in caring for your new infant. 

At the end of your first postpartum massage, I will offer a South American tradition called Closing of the Bones to bring the outward energy of childbirth back to the mother and honor her transformation.
Had a wonderfully rejuvenating therapeutic massage, and now that I’ve been introduced to Pilates, I’ll be back for that additional resource in my self-care toolbox. Great service, relaxing atmosphere, and knowledgeable care.

Machelle is incredibly talented and deeply knowledgeable. [...] I cannot recommend enough the pelvic floor work for any mama or any woman with reproductive or sexual trauma. The experience promoted profound physical release, but also emotional and spiritual healing.
