About Us

Touch Is Sacred. Somatics Is the Practice.

Welcome to Sacred Touch Bodywork

Where Healing Is Ceremony and the Body Is Sacred

At Sacred Touch Bodywork we honor the wisdom of the body and the traditions of our ancestors. Our practice blends intuitive touch, traditional healing arts, and somatic techniques to support deep restoration, emotional release, and spiritual grounding..
Rooted in Traditional and Indigenous practices and guided by a peace-informed, heart-centered approach, our sessions are more than bodywork, they are rituals of reconnection. Whether you're seeking relief from stress, emotional heaviness, or simply a space to breathe and return to yourself, we create a safe and sacred container for your journey.

Testimonials

Service Received: Thai Massage-90 Mins

Overall, the experience was great!! The reiki was a good start working with the head. I like the techniques done on my lower body. I felt the blood flow open up in legs and I felt better. The sista does good work not only with the body, but uplifting the mind and spirit, as well, with her sacred touch.
