BodyBlessing
Give your body and soul a special experience of safety and belonging.
Client Experience:
“I was blown away by the simplicity of this experience, and the power of it at the same time.
I can’t believe how little of this kind of touch is available in my life- and probably to most people. I have such a deficit of gentle, connected, nurturing touch. I felt this deep sense of peace and acceptance of myself right where I am today, in this body. And.. this wasn’t actually about my body. It was about my soul. Like touching and nurturing my soul through my body.
You weren’t trying to fix or change or “heal” anything. I had never before experienced touch where there was a total absence of any agenda, goal, or romantic energy. It gave me space just to be in my body and receive the nourishment of uncomplicated, simple, healing human touch and presence. Now I know what I need.”

Hi, I’m Candace
I’ve been on a healing journey for 20+ years. I’ve studied many modalities and created some new ones of my own. Mostly, though, I’m devoted to the magical process of listening to my own body & inner wisdom. It’s my honor to hold space for others to connect with their own body and Self, and it’s my pleasure to pass on the tools I’ve found most to be most profoundly helpful. My very favorite thing is to help a woman find trust, safety, and love in her own body.
Allow yourself to be nurtured.
Imagine you’re back to being a little kid. It’s been a long morning, you’re kind of worn out, and it’s time for a nap. Your mom or grandma is helping you settle in.
She finds your favorite pillow, turns on soft music and lowers the lights. Smiling her sweet smile, she sits beside you and starts stroking your hair, and you feel her love coming through her touch. She begins telling you in soft tones what a precious being you are and how safe and good it is for you to be here.
You feel a deep sense of safety, ease, belonging, and pure unconditional love. It’s a divine experience that soothes your body and nourishes your soul.
Our bodies are programmed to receive touch.
Safe, gentle, assuring touch is a fundamental requirement for human health and well-being. Babies, children, and yes- even adults need it.
For millions of years, our human ancestors survived, thrived, and communicated through close physical contact. Our system is physiologically designed to expect physical connection with other humans on a regular basis. It’s in our DNA. If we don’t have those connections, it can throw off our whole system.
Many of us developed a deficit of this kind of touch while we were still children. We adapted as well as we could, but for some of us that included protective patterns that now keep us from being able to connect with ourselves and others. The wonderful thing to is… it’s never too late to re-calibrate and receive this natural, nourishing experience. My clients are often amazed at how replenished they feel and how they hadn’t even realized it was something they needed.
About BodyBlessings
A BodyBlessing is simple yet profound.
In your sessions, you’ll receive the most natural thing in the human world: gentle, tuned in care and attention. Sessions are a relaxing blend of conversation, energy work, sound therapy, aromatherapy, and very experienced slow soothing touch. Each session is different, and I’ll be listening to you and your body about what’s needed most. A BodyBlessing is different from a massage. We’re not trying to “work out the stress” or fix anything that’s wrong. Instead, I’ll be bathing you in warm, soft, comforting approval. I’ll be reminding you how precious you are and helping you feel that in your body.
Throughout your session, I may guide you through reflective inquiry, nourishing visualizations, and gentle breathing patterns. Our goal is to reconnect with your felt sense of safety, belonging, ease, and love. You may start to experience this immediately. Occasionally, it takes a few sessions for your body to fully surrender its protective armoring and remember what this trust truly feels like.
Challenges that can shift profoundly through this experience:
stress, anxiety, racing mind
exhaustion from work or caring for others
gripping, tightness, stuck-ness
avoidance of touch and intimate connection
inability to be emotionally vulnerable
a feeling of being at odds with your body
feelings of disconnection, lonliness, or longing
grief
Experience your BodyBlessing
We all need it.
I believe everyone in the world deserves to feel safety and belonging in their body. I also think that the more people who feel safety and belonging as a baseline, the more peace and joy we’ll have in our everyday world. I strive to keep BodyBlessing rates as accessible as possible. If you know of someone who might benefit from this safe, soothing connection, please pass it on!
Booking a BodyBlessing
Single sessions are available and provide a wonderfully nourishing experience. For deep integration of the benefits, I highly recommend a series of 3 or more sessions. The continuity helps your brain and body receive more nourishment each session, as the experience becomes more familiar. (Bonus- the more experiences you have of safety and connection in your body, the more likely you are to attract people into your life who give you that feeling!)
Sessions are 90 minutes each. This includes time for us to sit and connect, get you settled in and ease you gently into your deepest nourishment. You’re welcome to stay clothed during your session, or just be in your underwear.
Single Session…………………. $111 (special pricing for spring 2025)
