As a massage therapist, Aniyah approaches each session as an opportunity to create a safe, supportive space where clients can reconnect with their bodies. She views her role as both a skilled practitioner and a compassionate witness, holding space for the physical, emotional, and energetic shifts that naturally arise through bodywork.

Aniyah specializes in trauma-informed massage, integrating movement, neuromuscular therapy, and myofascial release techniques to help clients unwind long-held tension patterns, improve mobility, and restore balance within the body. Her approach to deep tissue work is intentional and gentle, allowing the nervous system to remain regulated while creating meaningful change in the tissues. She also incorporates Swedish massage, somatic rocking, and nervous system–focused techniques to encourage deep relaxation and healing.

Before becoming a massage therapist, Aniyah spent three years working in the mental and behavioral health field, where she received extensive training in trauma-informed care, peer support, crisis intervention, and somatic embodiment practices. This background deeply informs her work, allowing her to support clients with sensitivity, presence, and an understanding of the connection between emotional experiences and the body.

Aniyah graduated from the 800-hour massage therapy program at East West College of the Healing Arts in 2025. She completed her Reiki Master Initiation in 2023 and has cultivated an energy practice rooted in her cultural lineage, which she thoughtfully weaves into her bodywork when appropriate.

Her current studies focus on Traditional Chinese Medicine and abdominal and pelvic health. She is trained in External Pelvic Floor Manual Therapy and is continuing her education in Chi Nei Tsang (Taoist Abdominal Massage). This work is deeply personal to Aniyah. After navigating years of pelvic and abdominal pain related to cumulative childhood and adult trauma, she experienced firsthand the challenges of finding knowledgeable, trans-affirming pelvic floor care. Those experiences inspired her to become an External Pelvic Floor Practitioner, with the goal of expanding access to compassionate, trauma-informed pelvic health services.

Aniyah is especially passionate about supporting transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive individuals in feeling safe, respected, and cared for within therapeutic bodywork. She is honored to offer pelvic health services at Lavender Moon Wellness and is committed to providing care that is affirming, collaborative, and centered on each person’s unique experience.

Whether clients are seeking pain relief, stress reduction, nervous system regulation, or a deeper connection with themselves, Aniyah’s intention is to offer care that honors the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.

Sabrielle provides grounding, integrative bodywork rooted in the profound connection between the brain and the body. Her practice is centered on the belief that when the nervous system is regulated, the body’s innate capacity for healing can take the lead.

Sabrielle specializes in Ashiatsu, a barefoot massage modality in which she uses overhead bars for balance to deliver slow, deep gliding strokes and broad compressions designed to help tissues melt and release while keeping the nervous system in a state of ease.

She also offers dedicated Craniosacral Therapy sessions, an approach inspired by osteopathic and visceral theory that works with the body’s internal rhythms and nervous system strain through a mindful attention to deeper structures. Within or separate from these sessions, she incorporates intra-oral techniques for those navigating TMJ concerns.

Having grown up with a mother who is a lifelong energy worker, Sabrielle brings an open-minded familiarity to the subtler layers of healing, holding respectful space for what exists beyond the purely physical.

Her specialized offerings are rounded out by Prenatal Massage, where she provides a supportive and intuitive container for the unique needs of the childbearing year.

Sabrielle is a graduate of the 950-hour program at Therapeutic Connections School of Massage and a dedicated student of the top-down approach to bodywork. She spends much of her time exploring neuroscience and the brain-body connection through independent study, always seeking to deepen her understanding of the human experience. This devotion to her craft allows her to meet each client with a trauma-informed presence, holding space for exactly how a person shows up to the table.

When she’s not in the treatment room, Sabrielle is likely refining her musical and massage crafts, running away to the woods, or meticulously brewing the perfect cup of tea.

Samantha’s work blends somatic bodywork, fascial techniques, and meridian-informed touch to support nervous system regulation and whole-body integration. Rather than forceful deep tissue, she moves thoughtfully through layers using movement, breath, and collaborative pressure.

The goal is sustainable release across the physical and emotional body. Sessions emphasize integration and steadiness rather than pushing through pain.

Her work is especially supportive during times of stress, burnout, transition, pregnancy/postpartum changes, grief, or when you’re feeling disconnected from your body. Many clients seek her out during seasons of change, when something is shifting and they need a steady container while moving through transition.

With over a decade of clinical experience, an 800-hour foundational training from East West College of the Healing Arts, and more than 300 hours of continuing education, Samantha brings both depth and discernment to each session. She served as faculty at East West from 2019–2025 and continues to teach bodywork and herbalism workshops within her private practice.

Alty practices a unique approach to massage therapy cultivated through eclectic spiritual practice, structured orthodox education, and a lifetime of study with a breadth of teachers. Ranging from lineal students of the Dalai Lama to Energy Workers of the Unnamed Path to Orthodox Massage Therapists and Chiropractors with more than four decades under their belt Alty has had the privilege of studying and learning with some of the best.

Their formal education in massage therapy started with his graduation from the 800 Hour program in 2023 and has continued with nearly two years of working in a eastern medical oriented multidisciplinary wellness clinic. Alty’s style of massage focuses more on providing space and the necessary energy to help the body process and align with its own naturally occuring cycles, rhythms, and frequencies then the majority of manual manipulation styles.

When not working their magic, they can be found slinging tarot cards, planning queer summer camps, coming up with yet another hare-brained scheme to ‘get weirder’, enjoying a cup of tea, a good book, or roaming the city with his pack looking for adventure.
