Thich Nhat Hanh
Massage has always been a natural gift that I've shared with friends and family since a young age. In the spring of 2015, I graduated from Madison College Therapeutic Massage program with a focus in Swedish and clinical massage.
With a holistic approach, I offer a unique blend of Shoshin Shiatsu, acupressure, deep tissue, trigger point work, Swedish and hot stone massage, gua sha, cupping, guided meditation, breathwork, table Thai, and aromatherapy.
Whether you seek relaxation and rejuvenation, need emotional and energetic space for healing, or require focused therapeutic work, I am here to support you with a nurturing and respectful approach in a safe space where you are always valued and seen with unconditional positive regard.
As a traveler and nomad, I've worked with healers across Wisconsin, Costa Rica, Hawai'i, México, and Egypt. These diverse experiences enrich my passion for wellness and deepen my connection with our global family.
I believe massage and healthcare are vital to living a happier, healthier life. At Nomadic Healing Arts, we strive to make wellness therapies accessible and equitable for all.
I look forward to supporting you in your beautifully unique wellness journey.

Peace upon you السلام عليكم Paz a vosotros

Our in-home palliative and end-of-life massage services are designed to provide comfort and relief during challenging times. Palliative massage focuses on enhancing the quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses by alleviating pain, reducing stress, and improving overall well-being. End-of-life massage, offered with compassion and sensitivity, aims to offer physical and emotional comfort, ease discomfort, and support relaxation as individuals approach the end of life. Each session is personalized to meet the unique needs and preferences of the client, ensuring a respectful and soothing experience in the familiar surroundings of home.
For more information or to discuss how our palliative and end-of-life massage services can support you or your loved ones, please reach out to us via phone or email. We are here to provide the care and comfort you need during this time.

Should I tip? It depends! Tipping an independent massage therapist in their own office is sometimes optional (though still much appreciated!), so check in individually with different places. At our home office, it is not considered a slight if you do not leave a tip. On the other hand, consider tipping your therapist if you're receiving a mobile massage or going to a spa! Spa therapists make only a fraction of what you paid for the massage.
How far do I disrobe? As much as you are comfortable. Generally, most clothing is removed for any massage involving lotion. Many clients prefer to keep their underwear on; this is completely okay and does not affect the massage. Your modesty is assured regardless by careful draping of the top sheet. If you feel nervous or uncomfortable and would prefer to stay clothed, just speak to your therapist about it - we are trained to accommodate such requests.
Is Nomadic Healing Arts a spa? Nomadic Healing Arts is not a spa, though we have many spa amenities. Retreats facilitated by Nomadic Healing Arts will vary in their locations over the moons and seasons to come.
*Nature's Healing Hills ~ Camping Retreat Center* will be home to many of 2023's retreats.
The campground is located outside of Hillsboro, in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin - aka the Ocooch Mountains, named after a small band of Native Americans living along the Kickapoo River pre-colonization.
Do you offer walk-ins? No walk-ins. Appointments are by advanced booking only.
How much talking is okay during a massage? Client's choice! If you strike up a conversation, we'll happily respond, and if you prefer to zone out, we remain silent. That said, any feedback about the massage itself is not only okay but highly encouraged! We want to give you the massage that you want, and open communication is important for that. If you'd like to talk about other things going on in your life as well, we are happy to lend an ear. Anything you say during the massage is generally treated as confidential.
I'm nervous that I might have gas, need to pee, or... or what if I experience sexual arousal?
Crying, laughing, other emotional releases, passing gas, body shakes/twitches, falling asleep, getting up to pee (let's remember to go beforehand), and yes, even sexual arousal, plus basically any and every other thing the human body and psyche do, can and may happen during any form of bodywork.

Please remember; We are simply beings being human and you are respected unconditionally with positive regard in this safe space.
