Approach:
Allyson is compassionate, intuitive, and deeply committed to an approach rooted in trauma-informed, somatic, and collaborative care. She views massage therapy not just as a treatment for physical discomfort but as a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Allyson honors each person’s unique story and works alongside them, creating a safe and supportive space for the body to unwind, release, and reconnect with its inherent wisdom. Sessions often begin face-up, honoring the natural flow of energy, and integrate Thai Yoga massage techniques for a truly unique and transformative experience.
