bodywork

30 minute massage

~ $70

This option is intended for those seeking relief in one particular area of the body – maybe you slept weird and can't turn your head, or strained your shoulder while climbing. Other examples include the upper back, the lower back, calves, hands, neck, etc. For things that come in pairs like arms and feet, I am able to work both sides. I will start by warming the area with some Swedish techniques, then go in with deep tissue and / or trigger point release work. This option may not be as relaxing as the others, since there is less time to calm the nervous system. I am going for effective work over relaxing. However, if you are pressed for time or simply have a budget, this is a great option.

This massage has a fixed price of $70.

Bookings can be made up to 24 hours in advance and I will collect payment after the session.

60 minute massage

~ $140

Whether this is your first time getting bodywork or you are a seasoned bodywork receiver, the 60 minute sliding scale session is a great way to get comprehensive work done in a short amount of time. I will focus in on 1 - 3 areas of the body that are requiring attention, such as the shoulders, back, legs, arms, etc, using a combination of Swedish, deep tissue, trigger point release, and myofascial release. I would especially recommend this option to anyone who is just trying out bodywork and unsure of committing to a longer massage.

This massage is priced at $140.

Bookings can be made up to 24 hours in advance and I will collect payment after the session.

90 minute massage

~ $170

This is my favorite length of time to work, as it really allows the body to fall into relaxation and integrate the work. I will start with Swedish techniques (light - medium pressure to warm the tissue and stimulate circulation) and focus in on 3 - 4 specific body parts that require attention using a combination of deep tissue, trigger point release, and myofascial release. If you are looking for significant tension relief in multiple areas, I would recommend this option.

This massage is priced at $170.

Bookings can be made up to 24 hours in advance and I will collect payment after the session.

120 minute massage

~ $210

This is the longest session length I offer and it allows us to really take the time to sink in and address the body both comprehensively and thoroughly. My work is very slow and intentional, which allows for deeper pressure and thus deeper release. Like the other sliding scale options, I will start with a Swedish full-body massage (light - medium pressure to warm the tissue and stimulate circulation), and will be able to spend extra time on small details and oft-neglected body parts. Then, as time allows, we can apply deep tissue work on several specific body parts that require attention. I usually incorporate some Thai massage and assisted stretching to keep the work dynamic throughout this longer session. I would not necessarily recommend this to first-time bodywork receivers; try a shorter session to make sure you feel comfortable on the table.

This massage is priced at $210.

Bookings can be made up to 24 hours in advance and I will collect payment after the session.

specialty services

60 minutes arms & hands massage

~ $150

We use our hands for everything, so they're naturally under a lot of strain if not taken care of. You may experience shooting pains in your wrists or hands. This is especially true for climbers, artists, musicians, and skilled workers. I will do detailed work on your forearms, biceps, triceps, deltoids, and hands to revitalize your arms and get you feeling brand new.

This is a specialty massage and has a fixed price of $150. The added price accommodates for the detailed work I will perform, which requires more energy and strain on my own body. Please let me know if you have any questions about my prices.

Bookings can be made up to 24 hours in advance and I will collect payment after the session.

60 minutes hip flexors and glutes massage

~ $150

So many of us sit for most of the day, causing our hip flexors to be in a chronically contracted state, which can lead to pain while walking, standing, or laying down. Trauma and societally imposed feelings of shame around the pelvic region causes many of us to unconsciously tense this area perpetually. I will work the sides and front of your hips, as well as your glutes to get your pelvis feeling loose and free again.

This is a specialty massage and has a fixed price of $150. The added price accommodates for the detailed work I will perform, which requires more energy and strain on my own body. Please let me know if you have any questions about my prices.

Bookings can be made up to 24 hours in advance and payment instructions will be sent via confirmation email.

60 minutes face, head, and jaw massage

~ $150

Many of us grind or clench our teeth at night, and we all hold a great deal of tension and emotion in our head and neck, especially in the jaws and occipitals. I will do detailed work on everything above your shoulders, bringing relief to your jaws, forehead, face, scalp, and neck.

This is a specialty massage and has a fixed price of $150. The added price accommodates for the detailed work I will perform, which requires more energy and strain on my own body. Please let me know if you have any questions about my prices.

workshop

Massage basics workshop

~ $260

We all deserve to have access to basic knowledge of healing practices without having to complete a course at an institution. This workshop will teach you the basics of massage safety and technique, some basic anatomy, and how to massage from your own home without any special equipment.

This workshop is meant for 2 people. Perfect for those wanting to care for their parents; couples; or friends who enjoy massaging. I will provide all sheets, oils, and tools needed. You only need to bring yourselves.

I will perform demos on both people, so in addition to learning, you will also receive bodywork (which is essential to learning!)

The cost of this workshop is $260. Payment instructions will be sent via email.

If you are interested in more in-depth education about massage therapy, I recommend McKinnon Body Therapy Center for classes.

Disclaimer: I am not a massage instructor. This workshop does not count towards any credits or certification, and Gentle Tiger Bodywork is not liable for injuries sustained during or after the workshop. This is an informal teaching environment meant to enrich the healing skillset of my community.

energy work

30 minute cupping session with reiki

~ $35

Cupping is an ancient form of traditional Chinese medicine which utilizes vacuums to create suction and increase blood flow to areas of tension. Cupping is an excellent way to increase range of motion and reduce pain. It is suitable for most people, but certain cases such as active cancer, anemia, or severe chronic disease may pose some risks. Please read the booking page thoroughly to make sure this modality is safe for you.

We will start with an intake to determine where the cups should be placed. While the cups are doing their work, I will perform reiki to aid in the energy flow inside your body.

Bookings can be made up to 24 hours in advance and I will take payment after the session.

60 minutes reiki session

~ $66 - $111

I will use an energy work modality known as reiki, which is an energetic massage that does not involve the same degree of touch as a regular massage. You can learn more about my reiki training and background on my "about me" page. Using universal life force from nature, I will channel energy to energetically imbalanced areas of your body to aid in emotional and physical healing.

This is an excellent option for anyone who is unable to receive touch for whatever reason; feeling disconnected from their body or spirituality; feeling imbalanced; experiencing strong depression or anxiety; or just looking to explore different modalities of healing. One must be open to the healing potential of energy work before receiving it.

Bookings can be made up to 24 hours in advance and I will collect payment after the session.

90 minutes reiki session

assisted stretch therapy

30 minutes assisted stretch therapy

~ $30 - $45

My approach is goal-oriented, collaborative, and emergent - guided by your goals. Through trial and discussion, we will find the plan that works best for you. These sessions will focus on deep, intentional breathing as I move you through a series of tailored stretches to address your needs.

I recommend this option for people who have a specific short-term need that they would like to address, maybe your hips are tight, maybe you notice your shoulders are tense, or you are recovering from an injury. This is also a good option for people who are curious if stretch therapy could be helpful for them.

*Please wear non-restrictive clothes that you feel comfortable moving in.

Benefits of stretching

  • Increased bodily awareness - allowing yourself to tap into and be present with your body through assisted movement
  • Improved breath work
  • Increased flexibility and fluidity of joint movement
  • Improved activity performance
  • Decreased chronic or short term joint and muscle pain
  • Improved sleep and relaxation

60 minutes assisted stretch therapy

~ $60 - $80

My approach is goal-oriented, collaborative, and emergent - guided by your goals. Through trial and discussion, we will find the plan that works best for you. These sessions will focus on deep, intentional breathing as I move you through a series of tailored stretches to address your needs.

I recommend this option for people who want a full body stretch, have more than 1 focus area (ex. Glutes/hips and arms), or want a deeper dive into the upper body or lower body. If you are unsure what exactly is a priority for you, I recommend doing a full body stretch to discover what may be most pressing. The stretch will always be tailored to you!

The work may include a combination of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), joint mobilization, Thai massage, and therapeutic myofascial release. Based on what we discover together, I can advise some practices and stretches for you to take home.

massage therapy

60 minutes massage

~ $90 - $140

I will start with a consultation and check in about how your body is feeling to get a better idea of how to approach the work for our session, and we'll go from there!

I recommend this session for people who are experiencing specific pain or aching in their bodies. We will dive in and focus on the specified areas as well as the surrounding and contributing structures. If you are interested in a full body massage, please book a longer time slot.

If you would like, I can recommend some out-of-session practices to continue working towards our set goal.

I recommend this session for people who are experiencing specific pain or aching in their bodies and who would like a full body experience. We can address 1-2 areas with more time and attention, the surrounding areas, and give a little love to everywhere else.

This time slot offers more space for curiosity and investigation into your focus areas and those that we discover together.
