Massage & Bodywork

EXPERT THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE AND BODYWORK FOR LONG-TERM RELIEF AND NERVOUS SYSTEM SUPPORT.

ABOUT

For more than 30 years, my work has been shaped by deep listening and an abiding respect for the body as a living, intelligent system. I approach each session as a slow conversation, one that unfolds intuitively, guided by presence rather than protocol, and led by what the body reveals in real time.

I am certified in, and teach, a wide range of therapeutic modalities including neuromuscular therapies, precision neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, Upledger, and visceral manipulation. My practice weaves these approaches together with structural integration and subtle energy work such as polarity balancing and nervous system attunement. Sessions move fluidly through layers of tissue, breath, and awareness, supporting regulation of the nervous system and restoring a sense of internal coherence. The intention is never to impose change, but to create the conditions in which the body can soften, reorganize, and remember its innate capacity for healing.

Alongside my private practice, I have worked extensively in high-performance and high-demand environments, supporting high-performing executives and senior leaders, as well as teams within major technology companies including Google, Twitch, IXL, Twitter, and Medium, and working with the U.S. Women’s Tennis Team. These settings have deepened my understanding of stress physiology, decision fatigue, recovery, and the cumulative impact of sustained pressure on the nervous system, informing a therapeutic approach that is both precise and deeply attuned.

I maintain a small, intentional bodywork practice so that each session is spacious, unhurried, and held with care. This work is for those seeking depth, continuity, and a refined therapeutic experience, those drawn to a quiet, reverent space where the body is met with respect, patience, and trust.

Who this is for

This work is for those seeking thoughtful, attentive bodywork, whether you’re navigating pain, stress, injury, or simply a desire to feel more at home in your body.

It’s well suited for clients who value presence and depth, and who are open to a collaborative process that listens to what the body is asking for in each session. This may include support for chronic tension, injury recovery, nervous system regulation, or support during periods of transition and change.

You don’t need to know exactly what kind of work you need. We begin where you are, and the session unfolds from there.

Client Reflections

“I have been seeing Terese for several years now. Terese is an outstanding practitioner. She combines decades of experience and study with an excellent intuitive knowledge of the body to her work. In addition Terese is a great listener, taking what she hears from me to address the current problem, as well as provide ideas for activities that I can do outside her studio to continue my healing. I leave her office not only relaxed, but inspired to continue focusing on my health and well being. I have never had a better massage and I highly recommend Terese..”
