I had a pampering deep tissue massage experience that combines the therapeutic pressure of deep tissue work with relaxing, spa-like comfort. The massage usually began in a calm setting with soft music, warm lighting, aromatherapy scents, heated towels, a warm massage table. Darby used firm, slow strokes and focused pressure to work into deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. This helps release chronic tension, tight knots, stiffness, and stress buildup--especially in areas like the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and legs. After the session, I felt completely melted into relaxation. Awesome feeling! Book a session w her right now and u will not regret it. And ...... u r very welcome!!!!

Kendall is a remarkable practitioner. I have been working with her regularly for a few months now,…read moreand she has provided me with a rich, restorative space to safely explore very challenging experiences, memories, and feelings. Through my work with Kendall, I have safely faced lot of my trauma, developed a much better connection to my emotional and spiritual body, and been able to reach new levels of vulnerability and intimacy in my relationships. She is a gifted and intuitive healer that is working, I believe, in a very important space. While my time with her is always restful and calming, she is facilitating inner work that can be intense and emotional. Before beginning our session, we have a check in about my intentions for the session, what's happening in my life that moment, and how I am feeling in my body. Once the session begins, she encourages me to share feelings, memories, and reflections as they arise during our sessions. Her energy work leads her to uncover areas of tension, blocks or stored trauma. She balances this with somatic breath work and visualization that helps me build a much stronger awareness of and connection to my body. I initially sought out a somatic body worker as a complement to more traditional talk therapy, to help access and work through trauma stored in my body. But I have come to find that my sessions with Kendall are an essential part of my inner work. We are lucky to have Kendall in our community.

I felt called to work with Kendall because I have some energetic blocks sexually that I think are tied to trauma held in my body that isn't normally accessible in my everyday consciousness. The whole session was just held really beautifully and sensitively, from talking over my intentions over herbal tea in her beautiful garden space, to the attention to detail opening the shamanic container in the session room, to checking in about how the session had been afterwards. I wasn't expecting to have such a profound, noticeable trauma release in the session, I experienced cathartic shaking, crying, and releasing of stuck trauma during the womb massage. I never felt alone and Kendall was perfectly attuned to my pacing, I felt safe to feel what I needed to feel and really felt like I was able to let something go and felt more spaciousness afterwards. This is deep sacred work and Kendall guides you empathically and skillfully, you couldn't be in better hands.
