Before practicing massage, Al worked in the service industry for 15 years. They understand firsthand the physical and emotional demands of doing repetitive and stressful work. Because of this experience, they are passionate about alleviating the effects of demanding work on the body, whether their clients have desk jobs, work from home, or are on their feet for hours a day.

Al uses a blend of muscle specific Swedish Massage, passive motion/stretches, and neuromuscular massage to address their clients' concerns, be it back pain or burnout. They use passive range of motion techniques in their massage to help their clients increase their body awareness and relax deeper. Al is also trained in myofascial release, sports massage, and scar tissue techniques.

As a fat, queer and trans person, Al understands the importance of feeling physically and emotionally safe when seeking healthcare. As a therapist, they actively collaborate with their clients to create a supportive, compassionate, and safe environment. When not doing bodywork, Al loves to read, walk their dog, Anya, and make silly faces (excellent for mood and muscles). Al looks forward to meeting you soon!
