Avi (they/them) finds interpersonal interaction regenerative, they are fascinated by bodily functions, and they approach community-led healing very earnestly.

After working in caretaking and healthcare for the past handful of years, Avi has a keen sense of bodies. Now, as a massage therapist, Avi utilizes those skills along with an intimate anatomical understanding of the body. Avi is trained in relaxation massage, craniosacral therapy, fire cupping, shiatsu, and neuromuscular therapy. They started apprenticing with Alyssa in 2023, and are excited to be able to integrate clinical massage and shiatsu once graduating from Northwestern Health Sciences University with an East West Therapeutic massage certificate.

As a queer, intersex person Avi’s dedication to LGBTQ+ health is personal. Working with disabled, trans, and BIPOC clients has given Avi a better understanding of the failings of many healing institutions and ways that Avi can better support all clients. Avi is extremely grateful to those individuals for showing them vulnerability and continuing their learning.

Avi believes that all bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made implements of Nature and is grateful for that interconnectedness every day.
