About Moon Massage Therapy
LGBTQ+ Friendly
At Moon Massage, all identities and ways of being are affirmed and celebrated. Massage is for everyone!
Intuitive Massage
Safe, therapeutic touch can be a powerfully restorative and even transformative experience, especially for systemically marginalized folks and those moving through difficult life circumstances. Fox is honored to hold space for you without judgment, to offer you relief from pain, and to channel the flow of universal love to help you reconnect or deepen your relationship with your body.
All Are Welcome
It can sometimes be difficult for members of marginalized communities to access health care that feels affirming and safe. To receive all the benefits of massage therapy, it is important that you feel seen, respected and accommodated by your therapist. Moon Massage honors and celebrates all ways of being.

Massage Doesn’t Have To Hurt
Massage does not need to be painful to be effective. A firm but gentle pressure coupled with a slow and patient pace are often what is needed to achieve deep relief.

Everything Is Connected
As parts of a whole system, the body and mind influence and shape one another. Just as uncomfortable emotions can manifest as physical pain or discomfort, intentional and pleasant sensations in the body can have a therapeutic effect on the mental and emotional state.

Healing from Within
Many of our ills are reflections of disharmonies that stem from our manufactured world. Our bodies feel this dysregulation physically as pain and dysfunction. But mother nature, forseeing our need, gave us an indispensable gift: the ability, as social animals, to co-regulate via the parasympathetic nervous system. A safe, intentional, comforting touch from a caring soul can instantly activate this powerful healing magic inherent within our bodies.
