Individualized, holistic care that fosters personal transformation.
All sessions at Nova fit under the categories of INTEGRATIVE MASSAGE and ENERGETIC BODYWORK. First we will identify what type of work will suit you the best. My job is to help identify and steer you in the most beneficial direction for our time together. I welcome you to be an active and empowered participant in the process. This is your time, so real-time feedback and communication is valued.
I believe that you are exceptional and that personal transformation can be deeply fulfilling and also inspiring and fun. Success for us is to help you peel back the layers individually and together. Through active intelligence and curiosity we systematically move towards a life with more vitality, connection, and playfulness.
I invite you to read up on my background and some of the nuances of the work so you can better ask for exactly what you want-whether that is a workout regimen focused on your personal goals, therapeutic deep tissue work, or energetic protocols to help balance the nervous system and adrenals.
All sessions include an intake interview. Sessions will begin and end on time.
Private Sauna Session: Hot/Cold Therapy
Experience the uniqueness of our private sauna space at our boutique spa. Sauna sessions can be enjoyed as a standalone treatment for sports recovery, detoxification, or relaxation, or you can add it to your studio session for an enhanced experience. We offer the option to take cold showers to amplify the benefits by alternating between hot and cold therapies.
For your convenience, we provide towels and double-filtered well water. Additionally, you can purchase electrolytes, various teas, and optional add-ons such as detoxing foot baths or energy session tune-ups. Please remember to add any desired add-ons before your arrival to ensure availability.
We take pride in creating a safe and inclusive space for the Queer community. Our studio is frequently rented by individuals who have undergone gender-affirming care, as our sauna and myofascial release aids in healing and recovery. You are not only welcome but celebrated in our studio.
Our sauna accommodates 1-2 individuals at a time.
Energetic Bodywork
Soul Centered Healing is an Ancient art of energy healing (or energy medicine) that helps to open the pathways for healing and the free flowing movement of energy throughout the body. Together, we will clear and reintegrate the restrictions that hold us back on every level, peeling back layers like an onion so that we can be more embodied and connected operating from our authentic selves. By mastering the limitations that have held us back and align our organ systems and energy body, we can achieve new levels of awareness and vitality.
Come away with more information about your organs and glands and what may have been held there, more self-awareness and expression, or just feel lighter and more sparkly.

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist creates suction by putting special cups on your skin. The cups can remain static or be used dynamically to release micro-adhesions in the tissues, increase blood-flow, reduce inflammation, and increase relaxation much like a deep tissue massage. It is especially useful for injury prevention and working with dense scar tissue. The purpose of cupping is to enhance circulation, help relieve pain, and pull out the toxins that linger in your body's tissues-plus it feels good!
