kristy@harmonizebodywork.com
www.harmonizebodywork.com
Areas of Focus:
I combine Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue and Polarity Therapies to provide
integrative bodywork that enhances your innate healing capabilities.
Sessions include acupressure, kneading and deep tissue alignment to
your muscles, chakra and craniosacral balancing, stretches and joint
mobilization.
Accessibility
The bathrooms are gender neutral but are not wheelchair accessible.
Housecalls are available at no extra charge to clients needing wheelchair
access and living within 12 miles of the office.
Cost/Insurance
I am not on any insurance boards, but frequently bill insurance companies
that allow clients to choose their practitioners in addition to auto
insurance companies. Cost is $70 for an hour treatment and $105 for
a 90-minute treatment, with an individualized sliding scale available.
Gender Experience
I am professionally and personally familiar with trans, genderqueer
and intersex health issues. I provide a wide variety of services to
clients undergoing physical transition. Deep tissue and Swedish massage
release muscle tension associated with binding and posture. Post-operative
clients are supported with gentle massage and energy work to improve
circulation, eliminate toxins and heal tissue. After surgical wounds
have healed, myofascial treatments break up scar tissue so that your
organs and tissues move freely and without pain. I am experienced in
helping clients recover after top surgery (mastectomy), facial surgery,
breast augmentation, Adam's apple reduction, genital surgery and hysterectomy.
In addition, massage can decrease undesired side effects of hormone
therapy, uncluding toxin build-up, headaches, fluid retention and hypertension.
Sexuality Experience Queer, Kink and Poly Positive. I identify as queer.
Youth Experience
I am experienced in working with youth and trust your health choices
and relationship with your body. I am legally bound to receive consent
to treatment from a parent or guardian for youth under 14 years of age.
Other I am
certified in pregnancy, labor and postpartum bodywork through the Association
of Natural and Physical Therapists, and am experienced in working with
trans and queer families, including trans men choosing pregnancy. I
am also experienced in working with HIV+ clients.
