Hi, I’m Aubrie (she/her)! My journey into bodywork has been guided by an enduring curiosity about what helps people heal, thrive, and feel at home in themselves. This curiosity led me to study massage and craniosacral therapy in 2019 and one of the greatest joys of my work is helping people reconnect with the inner wisdom of their bodies. After 25 years in the Burlington area, I’ve recently relocated to the Northeast Kingdom where my love for the land, movement, and community continues to shape both my life and my work. I’m an avid adventurer and fierce lover of the luscious wilderness.
My practice is grounded in creating a welcoming, trauma-informed space where all bodies are met with respect and kindness. I enter into each session with collaboration in mind and a deep reverence for the body’s innate intelligence and capacity for healing. My approach uses a blend of refined therapeutic techniques, craniosacral therapy, and somatic practices and I tailor each session to meet clients exactly where they are at.
In addition to my office-based practice, I hold a special passion for working with elders, offering compassionate, comfort-centered touch in residential home and memory care settings. Supporting our elders has deeply shaped my understanding of presence, dignity, and connection, and I carry the gifts of their teachings into all aspects of my work.
As someone who lives an active and engaged life, I am attuned to the importance of caring for the body as an interconnected whole. By supporting balance, ease, and vitality, we can create space for both movement and rest in the ways each body uniquely needs. I am committed to supporting each person’s healing journey, with the belief that when we care for ourselves, we contribute to a more compassionate and connected world.

My Offerings
Craniosacral Therapy and Somato-emotional Release
Craniosacral therapy is a non-invasive, gentle type of bodywork. It focuses on the body’s innate healing mechanisms by addressing restrictions in the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This technique can improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and helps to release deeply held tension in the body’s connective tissues. Many people seek craniosacral therapy for conditions such as headaches/migraines, chronic pain, TMJ, fibromyalgia, anxiety, and trauma recovery.
Somato-emotional release is a therapeutic process that can naturally unfold during a craniosacral therapy session. Long-held emotional trauma is stored in the body, leading to symptoms such as pain, restricted movement, reduced energy levels and more. During a session, the inner wisdom of the client may signal that there are sufficient resources present to release some or all of the stored trauma. Dialogue may be used by the therapist to help facilitate and enhance this process. As a result, clients often experience profound calmness, a decrease in pain and a sense of relief.
Sessions are done while the client is fully clothed and lying on their back on a massage table. Loose fitting, comfy clothing is recommended.
Custom Therapeutic Massage
This type of massage involves the manipulation of soft tissues to alleviate pain, reduce tension, and promote overall relaxation. A variety of techniques including deep tissue massage, Swedish massage, abdominal massage, acupressure, myofascial release*, and trigger point therapy may be used to create a session that is specific to your individual needs.
*Myofascial Release: Our entire body is covered by one continuous layer of tissue called fascia. Myofascial release is a modality of bodywork that directly engages the fascia through slow, consistent pressure with very little lubrication. The goal of this work is to lengthen the fascia which can help to increase mobility, relieve tension, and be supportive for those suffering from chronic pain.
Swedish Massage
The primary goal of a Swedish massage is to relax the entire body. Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes to replicate the body’s natural blood circulation. The rhythmic movements ease muscle tension, boost circulation, and calm the nervous system, leaving the body feeling deeply relaxed.
Prenatal Massage
Prenatal massage can support a changing body as it nurtures new life. Benefits may include lowered stress levels, relaxation, improved sleep quality, ease of discomforts associated with the body’s adjustments, and relief from musculoskeletal strain and pain. We use a wedge pillow to achieve a semi-reclined position on the back and also incorporate side-lying techniques for added comfort.
