Massage Therapy & Energy Work

Welcome! If you're looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and trauma-informed massage therapist and energy worker, you've come to the right place!

My primary focus is providing a healing and affirming space, especially for Queer, Trans, Gender Non-Conforming (QTGNC) and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), and other survivors of trauma. All are welcome!

I offer a range of high quality professional services in massage therapy and reiki, depending on your goals. I have a strong foundation in Anatomy, Physiology, Kinesiology, and Pathology, and am trained in several different massage and energy work modalities in both Eastern and Western traditions. My style is deep, slow, rhythmic, and precise, to provide a combination of effective release and relaxation. Each session is customized to your specific goals and needs–physical, emotional, and spiritual. Modalities can also be combined and enhancements be applied. All sessions are conducted in my practice space at 1022 Carlisle Blvd SE, Albuquerque, NM, just south of Nob Hill.

About the Modalities

  • Swedish

    Swedish Massage is a full-body therapeutic treatment that works with the soft tissues and muscles, using long, gliding strokes with oil or lotion, to promote relaxation, improved circulation, and overall wellbeing. If you're looking for that relaxing, pampered, spa feel, this is your modality! Deep Tissue / Firm Swedish also available.

  • Deep Tissue & Myofacial Therapy

    Deep Tissue is specialized therapeutic work aimed at treating specific musculoskeletal issues, such as strains, injuries, and chronic pains. It involves applying firm pressure and slow strokes to target inner layers of muscles and connective tissues. Myo-fascial therapy, a form of Deep Tissue, helps to release tension, re-align muscle fibers, improve elasticity, break up scar tissue, and promote tissue repair. Sports massage is also available to support pre-event warm up, post-event recovery, and other injury rehabilitation aid, in partnership with your physician or physical therapist.

  • Shiatsu

    Shiatsu is full-body, Japanese-style massage, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, involving acupressure along the meridians, stretching, joint rotations, and other techniques to balance chi, improve circulation, increase joint mobility, and restore the body's internal natural healing abilities. If you're looking for a relaxing yet energizing massage that can balance your body inside out, this is your modality. Shiatsu is a fully clothed massage done either on a massage table or on a cushioned floor mat.

  • Traditional Thai Massage

    Traditional Thai Massage is an ancient healing practice that uses gentle pressure and stretching to balance the body, improve circulation, increase range of motion, and boost energy. The Thai massage I perform is a combination of Royal and Folk styles of Traditional Thai Massage, learned from the world-renown Thai Massage School of Chiang Mai. Thai massage is a fully-clothed massage, performed on a cushioned floor mat. It can be performed on a massage table to accommodate physical needs.

  • Reiki

    Reiki is a Japanese form of hands-on energy healing that draws upon the universal life force energy to support someone's healing. As a reiki practitioner, I serve as a conduit for the healing energy and help to stimulate your body's natural healing abilities. Reiki can help to relieve pain and address both physical and emotional imbalances. Sessions can range from 30-60 minutes and can supplement massage therapy work. I also offer distant reiki for those outside of the Albuquerque, NM area.

  • Enhancements

    I also offer a range of additional therapeutic services that can be added onto your main treatment. Please reach out for more information (pending availability):

    - Aromatherapy | $10

    - Cupping | $15

    - Salt or Sugar Glow | $15

Testimonials

  • Noel (they/them)

    “G is a very thoughtful and empathetic massage therapist. I always feel safe and welcomed in their space, and they always take into consideration any concerns or modifications requested. They have a calming energy and have been very effective at creating more ease and helping with pain relief in my problem areas.”

  • JK (he/they/she)

    "It’s enlightening to work with a healer who is so communicative and compassionate. They engage with you about what you’ve been feeling and experiencing in a way that fosters trust and comfort. Working with them brings me greater awareness of the mind-body connection. So grateful for their service and highly recommend to people who want to expand their understanding of healing and bodywork."

  • Leanna (she/her)

    "I had such a wonderful experience with G. They're kind, knowledgeable & create a very safe space. I've had numerous massages over the years but there is NOTHING that compares to someone like G who knows what they're doing – it's very clear they listen to your body’s needs and massage accordingly, there's no 'one size fits all' with G and I'm SO appreciative of that. Run to them!!"

  • naim (they/them)

    "G is a great massage therapist! Very communicative and receptive to my needs and feedback. It was my first time seeing them but I felt very safe and supported. My body felt so much release and recalibration from our session. I felt a lot of relief from my back pain and will definitely be returning!"

  • Pasc (he/they)

    “G has an amazingly healing touch! I could feel in the body work I received from them the years of dedication they've given to community healing and liberation. As a non-binary person, it felt so good to receive such exceptional care to where I felt safe enough to truly relax and release old tension and pain stored in my body. I felt so much lighter afterward.”

  • Sam (she/her)

    G is an incredible practitioner, a true expert of their craft and someone I feel incredibly blessed to have known them. I've been to G numerous times for 2 hour deep tissue sessions, and have always left feeling better than I arrived. That sense of feeling good is never a fleeting thing either, you can feel the after effects of a sessions with G for weeks on.

  • Tia (she/they)

    “G is pretty incredible. They intuitively and effortlessly combine physical body healing with energetic healing. I walked out of that massage feeling like I was on a cloud. I got a deep tissue massage with reiki, which worked out a lot of my little problems and aches, and I also feel like a lot of negative energy got swished out of my body. It feels like you start the healing process as soon as you walk in the room and start talking to G. They really heard me and wanted to understand. They’re SO knowledgeable and thoughtful.”
