You wake up with your heart already pounding in your ears.
You doom scroll at night because you can't fall asleep.
You're not hungry, and then you're ravenous.
A text sits unanswered for days.
Someone asks what's for dinner and you take a sharp inhale and say "I don't know" as your arms go numb.
Exhausted but wired.
And from the outside,
you look fine.
Freeze is not laziness.
It is not passivity.
It is not weakness.
And you did not just let things happen.
Your body was protecting you from more stress
when it already knew you were at capacity.
Nothing here moves faster
than your body can believe.
Cranialsacral
Hands resting at your head. Almost no pressure.
Rocking
The way you would move a child who is nearly asleep.
Compression
Steady weight that stays. More like being held in place.
Tissue listening
I follow what your body is already doing.
I'm Avery.
I work exclusively with women's bodies because women's bodies and nervous systems are not just a smaller version of a man's. They are completely their own thing.
I'm not here to fix you or even get you to open up. Shifting happens when we work with these systems rather than against them.
In their words
I am feeling better than I have in YEARS. I sleep better, I'm less startled by stress, my body is less tense.

The Signature
Ninety minutes. The full arc, with room for your system to settle, open, and come back down before you leave.
The Float
Sixty minutes of light, rhythmic touch and cranialsacral work. A shorter way in.
The Tended
Ongoing care with priority booking, a locked rate, and body map cards that track change over time.
Creekside
The same slow, listening bodywork outdoors in a private tent up Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Women gathered at wells.
When our brains hear birds chirping and running water, our bodies interpret it as safety, as a lack of predators. Water is healing. This is that work, taken outside.
Book Creekside
A tiny guide to
gentle unfreezing
Your nervous system does not unfreeze from zero to one hundred. Just like a rolly poly, it sticks out one small leg first.
Send it to meIt's not that your jaw never clenches anymore, or that you always know what to make for dinner.
It's that you know how to slow down and support yourself when you do feel those things.
They feel less intense. Less existential. More like a small child needing care. Not a burden. Just something that needs tending to before you move on.
This work takes you to the edges
and grows your capacity for
so much joy and play.
I'm here when you're ready.
