You see, I want a lot.
Maybe I want it all:
the darkness of each endless fall,
the shimmering light of each ascent.
​
So many are alive who don't seem to care.
Casual, easy, they move in the world
as though untouched.
​
But you take pleasure in the faces
of those who know they thirst.
You cherish those
who grip for survival.
​
You are not dead yet, it's not too late
to open your depths by plunging into them
and drink in the life
that reveals itself quietly there.
​
- Rilke
Hi, I'm Margaret.
Licensed Massage Therapist # 28284
​Having experienced health complications that were rooted in my stress response, I know how important it is to cultivate practices and support systems that help regulate the nervous system. I have also experienced going from someone who ran a marathon and taught hot yoga to not being able to get out of bed for months on end. I know in my bones how impactful the health of our bodies is on every other aspect of life.
I am here because I have experienced a variety of relationships to my own body, and I know that this one precious life is meant to be experienced in an embodied state. A state in which grief and beauty have somewhere to land, love is FELT, food is savored, eyes connect souls, and oneness is not an abstraction.
​I feel fortunate and honored to be in the role of creating space for you to step outside of your daily grind to rest and receive.
