Each session is customized to meet your goals and may include Swedish flow, deep tissue techniques, trigger point work, passive stretching, range of motion, and other approaches based on your goals, comfort, health history, and consent.

Initial Session: 90 or 120 minutes

Anyone new to the practice will begin with an initial session. This first appointment allows time for a full intake, conversation, consent, and bodywork.

The initial session helps us begin with clarity: what your body is carrying, what kind of support you are seeking, what areas need attention, and how we can work together in a way that feels safe, respectful, and effective. The initial session is discounted at 20 percent.

Root & Release : 60 minutes

Available after an initial session, Root & Release is a focused appointment for targeted work rather than full-body massage. It may support one or two areas, such as neck and shoulders, low back and hips, legs and feet, or follow-up work between longer sessions.

Root & Restore : 90 minutes

Root & Restore is a spacious session for restoration: full-body care, focused work, stress relief, pain relief, mobility, and nervous system reset. This is the core Longleaf offering and a good fit for people who want meaningful bodywork without feeling rushed.

Root & Remember: 120 minutes

Root & Remember is an extended therapeutic massage session for deeper unwinding, slow transitions, focused bodywork, full-body restoration, and integration. This session offers more time for the body to soften, release, and remember itself as whole.

A 4-session therapeutic massage and bodywork series

The Shift Series is a four-session bodywork series for people seeking deeper support with chronic tension, stress patterns, mobility concerns, burnout, recovery, or a desire to build a more consistent relationship with their body.

A single massage can offer meaningful relief, rest, and reconnection but a series allows us to work more intentionally over time. Across four sessions, we listen for patterns, support release, respond to your body’s feedback, and create space for integration.

The series is ideally completed within 4–6 weeks, but timing can be adjusted as needed. This rhythm supports continuity while making room for real life, rest, caregiving, travel, and scheduling needs.

The Shift Series may include four Root & Restore (90 min) sessions or four Root & Remember(120 min) sessions.

First-time clients are welcome to book a Shift Series but are encouraged to do an initial session first.

Assisted stretching and mobility support: 60 Minutes

Branch & Bend is a fully clothed session focused on breathing, supported stretching, range of motion, body awareness, and returning to more ease of movement.

This offering is for people who feel stiff, compressed, overworked, physically limited, or disconnected from their body’s natural movement. Assisted stretching can help create more space in the body while supporting mobility, breath, and comfort.

Gender-affirming scar care and tissue integration: 40 Minutes

Changing Grounds is consent-based scar and soft tissue care session designed for people healing after gender-affirming surgical procedures, like top surgery.

This work can begin once incisions are fully closed and the person receiving care has been cleared for scar massage or gentle tissue work by their surgeon. Sessions are designed to support scar healing, tissue mobility, sensation, bodily awareness, and reconnection.

The work moves slowly and collaboratively. We follow your pace, your boundaries, and your body’s responses while staying within massage therapy scope and medical guidance.

Available after initial 90 or 120-minute session.

Optional supports for warmth, movement, circulation, release, and deeper therapeutic care

Elemental Enrichments may be added to therapeutic massage and bodywork sessions when appropriate. These supports bring in heat, rhythm, suction, smoke, texture, and focused tissue work to support relaxation, mobility, grounding, and release. Each enrichment is discussed beforehand and used only with consent, comfort, health history, and contraindications in mind.

Kindling — Warmth, rhythm, and surface softening

Kindling offerings help the body soften, open, and settle before or during deeper bodywork.

Hot Stones
Smooth heated stones for warmth, grounding, muscular ease, and softening.

Heated Bamboo
Broad, steady warmth and pressure to support relaxation, compression, and tissue opening.

Percussive Massage
Brief rhythmic stimulation to help wake up tissue, ease soreness, and support targeted muscle release.

Current — Circulation, movement, and deeper release

Current offerings work more deeply with areas of restriction, stagnation, or imbalance, supporting tissue mobility, circulation, and release.

Gliding or Static Cupping
Gentle suction to support tissue mobility, circulation, and areas that feel stuck or restricted. Temporary marks may occur and will be discussed before use.

Muscle Scraping
A smooth-edged tool with oil or lotion to support focused tissue mobility, release, and circulation. Temporary redness or tenderness may occur.

Smoke — Mugwort heat, grounding, and energetic movement

Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a traditional heat therapy that works with dried mugwort, or moxa, held near the body to bring warmth, circulation, grounding, and energetic movement.

Smoke-based offerings are used only with clear consent, ventilation, and screening for scent, smoke, respiratory, pregnancy, and heat sensitivities.
