Hi, I’m Cedar.

My path into bodywork began with a simple question: how can we feel more at ease in our bodies, even in the midst of everyday stress? My early exploration of wellness started through working with plants and getting to know them on a personal level. Motherwort was my first plant ally, and that relationship opened the door to a deeper curiosity about healing and the body.

That curiosity eventually led me to receive my first massage, where I experienced a release of deeply held tension I hadn’t even been aware I was carrying. That moment stayed with me and continues to shape the way I approach this work.

My style is inspired by Esalen massage, blending long, integrative strokes with focused therapeutic work. I approach each session with a sense of the whole person, rather than isolating parts of the body. Sessions may include deep tissue, passive movement, and joint mobilization, all woven into a continuous, flowing experience. I work with the breath, the tissues, and the subtle layers of the body, meeting you as a whole being.

I trained at the Center for Massage & Natural Health in Asheville, NC, with over 700 hours of study in anatomy, physiology, and hands-on practice. I later completed a 100-hour Esalen Massage Certification and have continued my education through advanced trainings in deep tissue and integrative techniques, along with ongoing study in ethics and professional boundaries. Creating a space that is both grounded and clearly held is an essential part of my work.

Outside of the treatment room, I’m drawn to the slower practices of herbalism, cooking, and spending unstructured time in nature. I value a simple, attuned way of living and staying connected to natural rhythms, which naturally carries into my work.

I honor the trust it takes to receive bodywork. My intention is to meet you exactly where you are.
