My Journey To Bodywork

 

​My approach to bodywork is all about balance, engrained in modern science while embracing intuition and the mystical. I toe the line between these two seemingly opposing worlds without feeling pulled in different directions; instead, they work in tandem to create a holistic experience. Whether you’re looking for a therapeutic massage or something a bit more magical, like energy healing, crystal therapy, or a tarot reading, I craft sessions that nourish both body and spirit, often with a sprinkle of magic.

 

After graduating from the Finger Lakes School of Massage in 2013 and becoming a licensed massage therapist, my early career focused on professional athletes and managing day spas. However, as my journey evolved, I discovered my true passion for women’s wellness and perinatal care. Today, I’m one of the few perinatal massage specialists in Westchester County, supporting clients through every phase of the reproductive journey; from fertility and pregnancy to postpartum and newborn care.

 

Alongside therapeutic bodywork, I’m trained in Reiki (level II), crystal healing, hypnosis, sound healing, and guided meditation. Each session is uniquely crafted with intuition and skill, creating a nurturing space where you feel supported, seen, and cared for, whether you’re pregnant or not.

 

Wherever your path may lead, I bring a grounded presence, harmonizing holistic wisdom and evidence-based care to support you in every way.

The Hearth By Well Wombn Inc.

​

The Hearth is the physical home of Well Wombn Inc., created with a desire to offer something that felt different from a traditional wellness space: warm, intimate, deeply considered, and centered around the people who come through its doors.

​

At its heart, The Hearth is a home for women's wellness across the lifespan. It is a space where pregnancy and postpartum care can exist alongside support for fertility, perimenopause, chronic tension, injury, scar recovery, nervous system regulation, and the simple need to feel better in your body. You do not need to be pregnant, postpartum, or navigating a particular season of life to belong here.

​

The Hearth also extends beyond my own practice. I created the space to bring together skilled, thoughtful practitioners whose work complements my own, allowing clients to access different forms of therapeutic and holistic care beneath one roof. Each practitioner maintains their own unique approach and area of expertise, while sharing a commitment to individualized, compassionate care.

 

The name The Hearth was chosen intentionally. Traditionally, the hearth was the warm center of the home: a place people gathered, rested, shared stories, and returned to for comfort. I wanted this space to carry that same feeling. Elevated without feeling precious. Beautiful without feeling untouchable. A place where you can exhale when you walk through the door.

 

While my own practice specializes in women’s and perinatal health and I no longer work with cisgender male clients, my care is proudly inclusive of transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming clients. The Hearth is, and will always be, a space where LGBTQ+ clients are welcomed and affirmed.

 

More than a treatment space, The Hearth is the next evolution of Well Wombn: a gathering place for exceptional care, meaningful connection, and the many ways we tend to ourselves throughout a lifetime.

 

It's an honor to serve you.
