Bodywork for desk-bound bodies.
100% vegan kitchen
Licensed massage therapist focused on desk-bound shoulders and stubborn lower backs. I use unscented, vegan massage oil and a table that has never seen a leather strap. Ten years of practice, two very good hands. I bring the table, sheets, and a playlist that doesn't offend anyone.

For the shoulders that live at your ears and the back that has opinions. We'll go slower and work deeper, with time to come back down.

Nov 2026 · 90-minute deep tissue
Genuinely therapeutic. Elena found the knot under my shoulder blade and negotiated with it politely. Only note: arrived ten minutes late, but texted ahead and still gave me the full ninety minutes.
Elena's reply
Thank you, Sam — and sorry about the subway. I've built a 15-minute buffer into my at-home bookings since.
