Meet the owner: Eliot
Originally from Chicago, IL, I moved to Boston for university, and have become entranced with the mountains and ocean. I graduated from Simmons University in 2016, as a licensed physical therapist. I have outpatient clinic as well as home care experience. I have studied with School Yoga Institute as well as with John F. Barnes, PT Myofascial Release Therapy continuing education, Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing, and Usui Holy Fire Reiki.
As a person who identity as “Queer”, I have experience and exposure to environments I have assumed was welcoming and was not, as well as have assumed was NOT safe and turned out to be rewarding! Unfortunately those including health care are still inconclusive on it’s stance for safe-space. I am passionate about creating this safe space for my clients, and helping every body feel at-home in their skin.
Over the years, I became frustrated with insurance companies limiting people who were making positive gains, and cutting them off without explanation- including myself! Since then I have made it my passion to provide services to my clients without third-party-payer requirements or restrictions, and have instead turned toward the client and myself to establish goals and plan of care to excel. On their terms. With their consent.
What you can expect from each session with me:
Healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. During each session, I blend three complementary modalities - Myofascial Release, Somatic Experiencing, and Reiki - to meet your body where it is that day.
Myofascial Release gently opens the body’s connective tissue to restore movement and flow.
Somatic Experiencing guides awareness of inner sensations, helping the nervous system complete unfinished and interrupted self-protective response.
Reiki balances energy and fosters deep relaxation, allowing the body and mind to integrate change.
Whether you are recovering from chronic pain, burnout, or trauma - or simply seeking a more peaceful connection with your body - this work invites you back to yourself.
My goal is not to “fix” you - but to help you feel safe, present, and empowered in your own body again.
While not helping people feel more attuned to their body, you can find me cuddling with my fiancé and cat, reading a book, watching a thought-provoking movie, or walking about in nature, west coast swing dancing, or traveling the world learning more about culture and communities.
