Philosophy & Approach
As a licensed massage therapist and bodywork practitioner, she believes in creating a safe, restorative, and supportive space where the body can soften, reset, and heal. Her work is grounded in the understanding that when the nervous system feels at ease, the body responds more fully to therapeutic touch.
Through intentional movement and pressure, skeletal muscle tissue warms, allowing fascia to release and transition into a more fluid, gel-like state known as sol. This process improves mobility, reduces tension, enhances circulation, and supports lymphatic flow, nourishing the body on both structural and systemic levels.
Breath awareness and gentle guidance are often incorporated to support relaxation, energy balance, and a return to a neutral, grounded state. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to honor the individual, allowing space for both therapeutic change and deep rest.
"And yes—therapy can be relaxing!" Ali is known for putting her clients into deep relaxation while receiving therapeutic work combined with a spa-like feel of luxury while in her treatment room. She goes above and beyond to ensure her clients feel pampered.
