Both are hands-on approaches, but they feel and work a little differently.

Therapeutic Bodywork is closer to what you might think of as a traditional massage, with more direct work to muscles and soft tissue. It’s a great option if you’re looking for focused work on areas of tension, soreness, or restricted movement.

CFT (Craniosacral Fascial Therapy) uses very gentle, non-forceful touch to work with the fascia and craniosacral system. Rather than digging into tight muscles, we follow what the body is showing us and allow the tissues to unwind at their own pace.

Not sure which one you need? You don’t have to figure that out on your own. We can talk through it before your session.

If you’re looking for something that feels more like a massage, want focused work on tight or sore muscles, or simply love deeper pressure, Therapeutic Bodywork may be a great place to start.

If you’re curious about CFT, have recurring patterns that don’t seem to respond to traditional massage, or feel like your body is holding onto something you can’t quite work your way out of, CFT may be worth exploring.

And if you’re still thinking, “Okay…but I have no freaking clue,” that’s completely fine. We can help you decide.

Your first session begins with a conversation about what’s bringing you in, what you’ve been experiencing, and anything you think may be relevant to your body’s story.

From there, you’ll get comfortable on the treatment table fully clothed. CFT uses light, subtle touch—you won’t experience deep pressure, stretching, or forceful manipulation.

You may notice warmth, pulsing, tingling, movement, relaxation, emotional shifts, or absolutely nothing you can easily put into words. Every body responds differently.

The goal isn’t to make something happen. We’re creating the conditions for your body to respond in its own way.

You’re not failing—you’ve probably just been approaching in a way that is not sustainable for you and your nervous system. Most of the people I work with have tried diets, rules, and “shoulds” that end up feeling restrictive and exhausting.

At Ripple, we focus on expansion rather than restriction. We avoid diet culture and Instagram influencers, and instead help you unpack what “healthy” truly means for you—for your digestion, energy, hormones, stress, and lifestyle.

Once you have that clarity, making choices that actually support you stops feeling like a battle. Health becomes something you move toward naturally, instead of something you have to force.

Somewhere between science and woo, with a grounded approach, an athleisure uniform, and a tendency to cuss a fuck ton.

You don’t need to know your rising sign, moon sign, or which way Mercury is doing whatever it’s doing. I sure as hell don’t. You don’t have to know anything about bodywork. And you definitely don’t have to pretend you understand something if you don’t.

I’m a skeptic too, so I actually love the questions, the curiosity, and the occasional “okay, but how the hell does that work?”

The goal is for Ripple to feel grounded, comfortable, and real—a place where you can exhale, be yourself, and get curious about your body without taking yourself or the healing process too seriously.
