Aware that we all relax and heal differently, I'm happy to work in complete silence or chat through our entire session. As someone who has been the daily ballet student turned consummate couch potato turned...somewhere in the middle, I'm understanding of wherever you are on your health and self-care journey and ultimately hope--whether you're coming in for a mental break or physical tune up--you will feel comfortable, safe and valued on my table, and leave feeling better balanced in both body and mind.

Nathan Bramel, MA 61014740
Modalities: Swedish, Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, Sports Massage, Injury Treatment, Post-Surgery Massage, Cupping, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release
I see massage as an art form and a tool that gives people freedom in their own bodies. People nowadays are often disconnected from themselves, either from stress, work or just a lack of understanding. My work focuses on reintegrating clients to their bodies, hopefully helping to create lasting change.
I have found when a client begins their health journey a feeling of empowerment is fostered, and with it a collaborative effort between client and myself is born. I am here to aid, encourage, and care for you along your journey for a better self. I will do my best to create a calming and safe space, and even when the work can be intense or uncomfortable, we can always laugh through
it.
I’m a very patient, caring, and intuitive person. I am focused on my work and I love what I do. When I’m not massaging, you can find me outside with my puppy, cooking delightful and complex creations, and playing games with friends.
