About Annalise

My passion for rhythm, movement and words has taken me through many incarnations as a performer, teacher and facilitator. I also have a PhD in hip hop and academic teaching experience.

My Diploma of Remedial Massage builds on 25+ years exploring improvised movement, somatic modalities, yoga and Body Mind Centering.

Motherhood bolsters my empathy for pregnant and postpartum clients; I also have a Certificate of Pregnancy Massage.

I completed Collective Trauma Healing courses in 2020 and 2021 and continue to learn about regulating trauma responses.

I experienced endometriosis, adenomyosis and premenstrual dysphoric disorder for 30 years. I understand managing chronic pain and symptoms.

My approach as a massage therapist is grounded in my compassionate, calming presence. I invite you to deep rest with me to recharge that soul glow.

“My body felt rejuvenated upon my return to earth.”
