Willow is a dedicated and proficient practitioner with over 30 years of experience in the field of massage therapy and energy medicine. Her practice is rooted in unconditional positive regard for all individuals and bodies, with a particular focus on providing inclusive and informed care for LGBTQIA2S+, trans, fat, and neurodivergent individuals. Her work skillfully weaves clinical and intuitive approaches and is guided by the belief that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and cared for in a way that acknowledges and respects their unique experiences and identities.

She is committed to creating a safer and welcoming space for all clients, and her approach to care is informed by an ever-evolving understanding of trauma and its impacts on the body and mind. 

Willow is a licensed massage therapist, a Reiki master, a certified Manual Lymph Drainage Therapist, and a soon to be licensed psilocybin facilitator. Her approach is comprehensive and tailored to the individual needs of her clients.

Her wide range of skills and experiences allow her to offer a unique blend of functional, medical, and subtle energy approaches in her sessions. The pressure and pace of her sessions can vary greatly, from light and gentle to deep and vigorous, depending on the client’s needs and preferences. This adaptability, combined with her extensive training and experience, makes Willow a versatile practitioner in the field of holistic therapies.
