My Approach
As a bodyworker I am committed to meeting people in the alive moment with presence and care. I help clients work through acute physical imbalances as well as deep-seated chronic ailments.
My bodywork style is therapeutic yet intuitive and combines deep tissue, myofascial therapy, trigger point therapy, energy work, breath work, movement based manual therapy, lymphatic support and deep listening. In addition, I believe in the profound power of sound paired with massage and invite clients to make sound in support of releasing physical and energetic tension in the body.
Each session is an invitation to release stagnant energy and deepen your own inner-awareness or drift into a deeply restorative space while establishing greater harmony within your being as a whole.

Testimonials
“I am so lucky to have found Abby! I am a chiropractor who spends my day rounded forward working on patients. This has caused my mid back to tighten up and radiate pain around my rib cage. She is the first massage therapist who has actually made a significant and lasting impact on those muscles. Abby's communication style is clear and open as well. At the begining of the massage she opens the door for feedback, personalization, and vocal expression. Her space also has a healing energy that uses music, candals, crystals, and more to bring your nervous system into a state of surrender. I couldn't recommend her enough!”

“Abby's work has encouraged me to treat myself like someone worth taking care of. In addition to her direct bodywork she's also been an excellent healer when sharing the emotional stress that was leading to the physical tension. Talking about stressful thing while in a session, and then using bodywork to relax the same stresses while talking about solutions has helped me make progress that no other professional or self help service has been able to provide. In turn, this has helped me build a more comprehensive sense of self, and better manage my relationships and personal life. Her work has: given me a great reduction in latent anxiety and muscle tension, reduced my fight/flight reactivity in situations of personal conflict, allowed me to have smoother and more mindful movements that have opened better posture and more comfortable exercise.”

“Working with Abby has been the greatest gift! I am beyond grateful. I was in a lot of chronic pain. I had been to many different bodyworkers in hopes of finding support and relief. I finally made my way to Abby and saw relief in just a few sessions. Abby combines so many different modalities to create a holistic and thorough approach when supporting her clients. She addresses the whole person, mind, body, and soul. Her lymphatic massage service was the most nourishing gift to my body when I was experiencing pain. Her stability sessions are teaching me how to carry and move my body in a more sustainable way. And, lastly, her coaching and gentle approach have allowed me to utilize this opportunity to grow as an individual spiritually. I could not recommend her more!”

“After months of unsuccessful and frustrating visits with dozens of physical therapists, athletic trainers, and doctors across multiple states, Abby identified many dysfunctional motor movements that were the cause of my chronic discomfort. Within a few sessions, I was more mobile and experiencing less pain than I had in months. Abby’s extensive and diverse knowledge spanning multiple modalities enabled her to customize my plan. Her attentive listening and instruction ensured my goals were reached in a safe and responsible manner. My wonderful experience with Abby has been spiritually enlightening, emotionally uplifting, and physically empowering. She is a patient, compassionate, playful soul if ever there was one. I always leave our sessions looking forward to the next one!”
