MASSAGE & MYOFASCIAL BODYWORK  |  HANCOCK, MI

Your body lets go when it feels safe 

Slow bodywork for a nervous system that's been holding on — myofascial release, craniosacral work, and massage in Michigan's Copper Country.

THE IDEA BEHIND THE WORK

Most massage works on muscles. This goes one layer deeper.

When your nervous system is stuck in protection mode, your body holds on to tension, pain, and old injuries that never fully resolved. No amount of pressure forces that kind of holding to let go.

But when your system feels safe, it releases on its own.

That's what my sessions are built around: slow, mostly light-touch techniques that give your body permission to stop guarding. Sometimes the release is physical. Sometimes emotion comes with it. Both are welcome here.

TWO WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

Not a long menu. Two sessions, built on one idea.

Customized Fascial Release

60 min · $85  /  90 min · $110

Slow, sustained, mostly light-touch work focused on your fascia — the connective tissue wrapping every muscle — and the nervous system underneath it.

​Sessions draw on myofascial release, targeted trigger point work, and craniosacral technique. The release comes from patience, not force. You may stay clothed, and much of the work can be done over the sheet.

GOOD FOR

  • Chronic or recurring tension and pain

  • Injuries that healed but never quite resolved

  • Bodies that don't respond well to deep pressure

Mixed Modality Massage

60 min · $85  /  90 min · $110

A full massage with my own approach woven through it.

You'll get the techniques you know — Swedish strokes, deeper focused work where your muscles need it, Thai-style stretches — combined with light-touch myofascial work that settles your nervous system as we go. The result relaxes you deeper than pressure alone can.

GOOD FOR

  • Relaxation and everyday stress relief

  • General muscle tension and soreness

  • Anyone new to this kind of bodywork

Not sure which to book? If you've had bodywork like this before — or you suspect your pain is connected to more than your muscles — start with Customized Fascial Release. If you love a classic massage, start with Mixed Modality.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

What a session is like

01

We talk first

Five minutes on your symptoms, your history, and what you're hoping for. You tell me any area that's off limits — no explanation needed.

02

You undress to your comfort

However much or little you want. Draping is careful and complete: only the area being worked on is ever uncovered, and I can work entirely over the sheet.

03

The session is yours

Zone out, fall asleep, or talk it through. I follow your lead. I'm there to listen and reflect. 

04

Emotions are welcome

It's common for feelings to surface as the body releases. If they do, we slow down and breathe. Often that's your body healing. Your tears are safe in this room.

WHY I DO THIS WORK

I do this work because it's what finally worked on me.

For eight years I dealt with chronic foot pain and inflammation that kept coming back. Specialists, rheumatologists, tests. Nothing explained it, and nothing fixed it, all while I was working in the healthcare field myself.

What finally changed things wasn't a treatment. It was noticing that when my nervous system calmed down, my body started healing on its own. I left a twenty-year healthcare career to help other people find that.
