Just Breathe
Gentle care to help your nervous system settle
At Purple Moon Wellness, I offer gentle, body-centered care that gives you space to slow down, reconnect with your body, and find greater ease.
Whether you’re seeking support for tension and discomfort, swelling following surgery or injury, or the effects of everyday stress, we begin with your needs, health history, and goals. My approach emphasizes comfort, clear communication, and an unhurried pace.
Bowen Therapy
Bowen Therapy is the primary focus of my practice. This gentle, stand-alone approach uses precise rolling movements over muscles and connective tissue, followed by quiet pauses that give your body time to respond. Sessions are tailored to your comfort, with the aim of easing tension and discomfort, supporting ease of movement, and encouraging a more restful state.
We begin by discussing what brings you in, how you’ve been feeling, and what you hope to get from your care. Throughout the session, I adjust the work to your needs and welcome your feedback. The pace is unhurried, with space to rest between sequences of movements.
I often recommend beginning with a Bowen Foundation Series of three sessions, allowing time to notice changes between appointments. Together, we assess how you’re responding and decide what ongoing support makes sense for you.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage uses very light, rhythmic techniques designed to encourage the natural movement of lymphatic fluid. It can support swelling reduction and recovery after surgery or injury when appropriate. Its gentle touch and steady rhythm also offer space to unwind and feel more settled, making sessions an option for relaxation and ongoing self-care.
Sessions focus on gentle movements at the skin’s surface. The touch is light and deliberate, with care tailored throughout to your comfort.
Before we begin, we discuss your health history, any areas of swelling or discomfort, and your goals for the session. For care following surgery or injury, we also consider guidance from your healthcare team. Each appointment is adapted to your stage of recovery, individual needs, and comfort.
Integrative Somatic Sessions
A gentle, guided space to explore how you experience stress in your body. By tuning into your body through grounding, breath awareness, and gentle movement, you’re invited to notice sensations and discover what helps you feel more settled and connected.
The work is collaborative and moves at a pace that feels manageable, helping you reconnect with your internal cues and develop new ways of responding to stress. Each session is tailored to your comfort, needs, and goals, with practical tools you can use in everyday life.
Gentle Therapeutic Massage
A personalized blend of gentle massage techniques to ease muscular tension and offer time for rest and relaxation. Depending on your needs, sessions may also include warm towels, gentle stretching, and cupping.
The focus is on thoughtful, restorative care using gentle pressure throughout.
Energy work is available on request.
Whatever brings you in, you’re welcome to ask questions, share your preferences, and move at a pace that feels comfortable. I’d be honored to help you find the approach that fits your needs.
