Somatic Healing through Massage

BOOK NOW

Without agenda. Without judgment. Without pain.

Together we’ll co-create healing space to allow you to access the deep wisdom your body holds.

Sessions are held at my studio in the State Theater Building in Portland, ME, and are by appointment only. When we work together, we’ll check in about how your body is feeling that day, what goals you may have in mind - being open to, but not attached to, outcome - and discuss areas you’d like me to highlight or avoid completely.

Your body talks. I’ll listen, hold space, and move with you.

It is your time on the table. And my role is to collaborate with you, to help facilitate the deep wisdom and healing capacity your body naturally holds.

  • Arly is amazing. I had never had a professional massage before, and to say that I was nervous is an understatement, however she put my mind at such ease that I believe I fell asleep at one point.

  • Getting a massage from Arly is like watching a Sea Dragon dance. She moves around the table with almost tai chi choreography without any real break in the continuity or flow of the bodywork and seems to intuitively know just how much pressure to apply depending on my level of healing needed.

  • I am very cautious about having someone touch my body. From the moment I entered her workspace, I felt grounded. She intuitively provided the welcome relief my body needed.

  • As one would expect from a professional, she took the time to first talk with me to determine my specific areas of pain and/or concerns, and then she told me how she would go about addressing my issues. And she checked in with me regularly to make sure it was all good with me. I felt like a million bucks when I got off the message table!!

  • Arly's massages put me under a hypnotic spell. She moves effortlessly around the body with a flow that feels like a dance. At times I find myself slightly dozing off and even twitch. It's heavenly! Getting a session with Arly is one of my greatest treats to myself. I highly recommend getting 90 minutes!!

  • I gave her very basic, general information about my aches and pains and she was able to see through the physical boundaries to get to the heart of my pain. I felt safe and accepted and surrounded by sacred space in her presence as a massage therapist. Such a gift to the Portland area.
