Machelle Varma, a little about me
I have always been interested in the mental, physical, and energetic connection of movement and how it influences our health and well being. As a professionally trained dancer, I experienced my body’s incredible ability to change, adapt, and even heal itself. After the birth of my first child, I began my journey supporting other women as a birth Doula, certified Pilates instructor, and massage therapist with a focus on women’s health. With the desire to serve, I perused advanced certification in prenatal, labor induction, and postpartum massage as well as pelvic floor, breast, and abdominal massage.
My approach to both massage and Pilates is one of deep listening and intuition. Believing that the body holds a deep wisdom, I strive to achieve authentic connection with my clients, creating a space of discovery, knowledge, connection, strength, empowerment, and empathy, to give space to healing. Whether you are here for massage or Pilates, I will tailor each session to address your specific needs. In massage, I am able to incorporate a variety of modalities including direct and indirect myofascial release, trigger point therapy, breath, directed visualization, and various Swedish techniques.
Through therapeutic Pilates, I help clients attune to their bodies in a mindful way, bringing awareness to the way we hold and live in our bodies, learning to recognize the patterns that create imbalance, tension, and pain. As that awareness deepens, we work together to build the strength and flexibility that restore balance, so movement throughout the day feels more natural, supported, and free.
I live and work on our 60-acre organic farm with my husband and our three mischievous feral cats. When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll usually find me teaching Pilates, dancing around the studio, or sharing meaningful conversations with the people who cross my path.
