Hey, I'm Liv! I’m a certified massage therapist, bodyworker, and 500-hour yoga facilitator who approaches care with a trauma-informed, holistic lens. My practice is deeply shaped by my own lived experience navigating endometriosis, migraine, and chronic pelvic pain—guiding my commitment to create spaces where others feel safe to reconnect with their bodies through gentleness, presence, and therapeutic touch.

I became a massage therapist because I know what it’s like to live in a body that feels like it’s working against you—to seek care and feel dismissed, to navigate a diagnosis, or to grieve the life you imagined before pain took up so much space. Those experiences taught me that chronic pain deserves acknowledgment, compassion, and holistic support—not dismissal—and they continue to shape the way I practice today.

I hold 800 hours of massage therapy training from the National Holistic Institute and am currently pursuing an additional 450 hours in advanced neuromuscular therapy. My externship experience spans private practice settings including Oak Park Massage Clinic, Lotus Root Massage, Remedy Massage Therapy, and MD’s Medical Massage, where I supported clients with a wide range of needs from chronic pain to stress relief.

Through Carespace by Liv, I offer bodywork and restorative practices centered on nervous system regulation, pain management, and embodied healing. My work weaves together technical skill and lived understanding to create a welcoming environment for rest, reconnection, and resilience.
