Ember Massage Studio

Therapeutic Bodywork for Pain Relief, Mobility, and Balance

At Ember Massage Studio, massage is more than relaxation: it’s a path to real relief.

With a background in deep tissue sculpting, Thai massage, and structural integration, I offer bodywork that’s grounded in anatomy, personalized to your body, and focused on helping you move and feel better.

Stress builds up in the body. These sessions use slower touch to help you settle, breathe, and feel more at ease.
