the quieter you become, the more you can hear
I’m so glad you are here. I’ve chosen to keep this site fairly simple with the essential information you need about myself, my offerings, and how to book a session. That said, if I’ve missed something, or you have a specific question or concern, please send a message in the contact form towards the bottom of the page.
Massage + Sound Session ~~~ 120 minutes / $250
Mindful, presence-centered touch… more than just a massage, it is a meditative journey for both client and practitioner. An energetic tune-up. A recalibration of body to soul. A holistic and sonic body trip!
The use of long, flowing strokes, deliberate pacing, and thoughtful pauses promotes deep relaxation and embodiment. Techniques such as rocking, stretching, passive joint movements, deep tissue, energy work, and sound healing are woven together to create a seamless flow of movement. The result is a harmonious, holistic journey of connection to oneself that cultivates both physical and energetic awareness, allowing the massage to have an impact deep within the hidden wells of your being.
The session starts with some time together discussing your needs over a cup of tea. Then transitioning to a little bit of tuning fork therapy to help quiet the mind, followed by the massage, and ending with a crystal bowl and gong sound bath.
Reiki + Sound Session ~~~ 90 minutes / $150
For those who prefer a gentler, hands-off approach…. a blend of reiki energy work with the harmonizing effects of sound therapy. Deeply restorative for the nervous system, the vibrations stimulate blood flow, target areas of pain or tightness for release, clear mental fog and anxiety, enhance sleep quality, and promote an overall deeper sense of clarity and well-being.

Sliding Scale Self-Assessment
I use a sliding scale payment structure based on the Green Bottle Method created by Alexis J. Cunningfolk. It’s a model built on trust, equity, and collective care, ensuring people get the support and care they need without draining their already-limited reserves.
Imagine a bottle filled with your resources—money, time, energy, and stability. Some people have full bottles, consistently replenished, while others have bottles that are half-empty, cracked, or leaking due to systemic barriers, personal hardships, or financial strain.
For individual sessions, please refer to this graphic to determine where you land on the sliding scale. The listed price is for those with a full bottle. Please self-assess to determine a fair rate based on your circumstances alongside demonstrating that you value the depth of care received. And if your bottle is overflowing, consider adding a tip.
Payment Method
I am currently only accepting cash: via actual hard cash or Venmo @hiddenwells. I am also open to trade if our needs align.
Payment can be made upon arrival or after the session.
Cancellations
I will only be offering a few sessions per week, so please do your best to cancel as far in advance as possible to make that time slot available to others (at very minimum 24 hours).
There are no cancellation fees.
a safe environment
I have chosen to work from my home for several reasons, the most important being the sense of calm and safety created in my own environment. I feel that massage experienced in public settings lacks the intimacy, warmth, sacredness and spaciousness of time that I aim to foster in my work.
To keep this work safe for everyone involved, I ask that you only pass on my booking link to people that you personally know and trust. It is important to me that there is a direct thread of connection between everyone I encounter on this journey.
The exact address in North Asheville will be provided after we have had a chance to connect. Please send a message via the contact form to have any questions answered and for next steps.
This is an inclusive space.
I first discovered my innate healing touch while living and working at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. From there, I became a certified practitioner and furthered my studies of massage with practitioners in Bali, as well as a trauma-informed approach at Still Point Wellness in Asheville.
While developing my own practice, it quickly became apparent that I was intuitively offering energy work alongside physical massage. I received my reiki attunement in Bali (level one), and also completed a certified course in sound healing with Shift Meditation in Amsterdam. I work primarily with tuning forks, singing bowls (both on and off of the body), as well as a starchild gong… according to your needs and comfort level.
I have spent the majority of my adult life practicing yoga and meditation in many forms. Offering massage is a meditation practice for me. Through caring for others, I take care of myself. The reciprocity of this work is unlike anything I have encountered, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be of service in this way.
