Queer and trans friendly massage specialised in pain, stress and scars.

Massage Treatments

When I look for a massage, I look for a feeling of safety, someone who will listen to me, and ideally a place where I won’t be misgendered and subject to queer and transphobia. My hope as a trans and queer massage therapist is to offer this space to others. A private and affirming space where you will actually be listened to and supported in feeling as comfortable, safe and at ease as possible.

I offer a range of massage and bodywork options for all genders and sexualities; whether you’re needing time to recharge and relax, have specific aches and pains you’d like relief from, are preparing for or recovering from surgery or looking for support with scars.

For those looking for work around the pelvic floor, genitals, or support around sexuality and pleasure, I also offer sexological bodywork and sex coaching.

  • Reduce pain, restrictions & stress.

    Helping increase ease in your body through a combination of techniques and intensity tailored for you. Techniques I can draw from include deep tissue massage, structural integration, triggerpoint massage, dry needling, cupping, craniosacral and myofascial release techniques.

  • Do you have tight or painful areas in and around your neck, back or shoulders because of sitting behind a computer all day, wearing a binder, chest surgery, or just life stress? Then you’re in the right place.

    This is the integral deep tissue massage applied to restore ease to your tired, tense neck, back and shoulders.

  • Useful for scars of any age to prevent or reduce scar related symptoms.

    Scar tissue treatment can support physical and emotional healing around scar tissue on the body and is also available for chest, genital or anal regions. It can have powerful results including increased mobility, cosmetic and textural shifts, reduced pain, discomfort and numbness related to scar tissue.

  • Ease common complaints, experience rest and encourage long-lasting benefits* for baby and parent.

    A massage balancing the needed gentleness in some areas, relaxation and reducing any discomfort you may have.

    Enjoy the front-lying massage table that supports belly and chest safely and comfortably or choose a side-lying position as needed or wanted.

    Available from the 12th week.

    * Research suggests that regular prenatal massage can have a lasting influence on the baby and supports reduced pain and duration of labor.

  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a very gentle massage that supports lymphatic flow reducing swelling. MLD is ideal and recommended as both a pre-operative and post-operative treatment that reduces swelling, pain and support the body’s natural healing systems.

  • Queer rest is resistance. We need time to release tension, to calm the nervous system, to experience a moment of rest.

    The relaxation massage is typically a full body massage done with warm oil on a gently heated table. Using a variety of techniques including holistic pulsing, hot stones, Swedish massage and Lomi Lomi, this massage is tailored to you and supports you in gently connecting with your body, releasing muscular tension and enjoying the pleasure of rest.

  • Lomi Lomi is a luxurious feeling therapeutic healing massage that originates in Hawaii and combines an intention setting ritual, blessing and full body massage. Like waves of the ocean, the long flowing strokes of Lomi Lomi will help mind and body to let go and rest. The massage supports release of physical, emotional and energetic blockages helping restore balance and make space for new things in your being and life. Additionally it will stimulate your circulation, reduce muscular stress and improve the flow of lymph in the body.

  • This massage will be tailored to you and makes use of hot stones to bring deep warmth and release into your muscles. Often combined with techniques from Swedish, Deep tissue and Lomi Lomi as needed.

FAQ & Important to know

  • First and foremost, it’s useful for you to be comfortable. For relaxing, deep tissue and Lomi Hapai massages, many people prefer to keep their undergarments on.

    It helps if you wear undergarments which can be worked around - not extra tight or bulky.

    Due to the long flowing strokes of a Lomi Lomi massage, during the Lomi Lomi it is most common to be nude with a sheet or sarong covering your pelvis.

    Feel free to reach out in advance if you have any questions, concerns or needs.

  • Please arrive to your appointment clean. There is a shower available at the studio. Use of the shower will occur during your scheduled appointment time.
