Introduction
Somatic Massage:
My role as a practitioner is to help each client gain a sense of their own body and its patterns, through massage and movement. Individualized Sessions help clients identify, relax, and release patterns of trauma, stress, and tension. Malia uses a range of tools including: Fascia unwinding; Supported movement and assisted stretching; Deep tissue massage; Myofascial release; Abdominal massage; Craniosacral holding; Quiet, slow forms of touch that communicate with the body with gentleness and calm; and subtle methods to integrate shifts and changes. Every session is unique — responding to your body’s needs.
Location:
I am a co-founder and team member of Oshun Center, located in the Integrative Health Wing of Family Tree Clinic at 1919 Nicollet Avenue South in Minneapolis, MN. There are two parking lots, to the north of the building and at the church just across the street on Nicollet Avenue. More info on Oshun Center is at www.oshuncenter.org.
Covid Update:
I am fully vaccinated with boosters for Covid-19. I am currently seeing clients who are not actively experiencing symptoms and have not been exposed recently to someone known to have Covid-19. Proof of vaccination is not required. I will wear a N94+ mask during the entire session. Clients must wear a mask while entering and leaving sessions, due to Family Tree Clinic policy. During sessions your mask is optional. I am happy to answer any questions you have about Covid-safety before you receive your session. You may reach me through filling out this form.
