Affirmation Massage

Did you know that I offer a few add-ons whose proceeds go directly to charity? Currently, I am offering a hot towel service (and stickers, while supplies last!) which benefits Ohio Immigrant Alliance; a tarot reading which benefits Water is Life Gaza, and biodegradable glitter, which benefits Camp Lilac!

I care very deeply about making this world as equitable as I can while I am around to do so, and positively using the privilege of owning a business. These offerings are small, but they are not nothing. If you'd like to book a massage with one or more of these add-ons, head to my website at affirmationmassage.com! Let's heal together.

Two fun new add-ons being offered currently!

1) Nap, Please! ($30) I have had a number of clients over the years ask if they can take a nap on the table after their service is finished. I can finally say: if you booked it in advance, absolutely! After you have relaxed from your massage, you can rest on a warm table with gentle music and no distractions from home; the perfect nap environment.

2) Can You Teach Them That? ($20) This one is especially great for people with chronic issues that we are working on and they have found what I do to be helpful/effective. You can bring a loved one with you to the service and I will spend a few minutes showing them how we work on the issue so they can help you with it at home!

The (dare I say inaugural?) drag story hour was so much fun! Ms. Reese S. Pieces read a few books and answered a lot of delightful questions! We all danced and learned more about HB 249 and how to push back against harmful legislation.

I'm so grateful to for coming out and sharing the morning with us, and for the families that participated!

Drag is for everyone!

I'm so excited to announce Drag Queen Story Hour, April 25th at 10:30AM at Be Well Collective! We will hear children's stories read by Reese S. Pieces, have a short Q&A, and learn how we can fight HB 249-- an effort to criminalize drag and target trans folks in Ohio.

This is a free event open to all ages, with an opportunity to donate to TransOhio! Hope to see you there.

Just casually existing as a visible trans person on this Trans Day of Visibility!

A reminder that trans and gender-expansive people are actively being targeted by federal and state governments across the country (and world), and there is little to no protection towards transphobic violence as rights are being continuously stripped from us. But as I heard someone say at the hearings for HB 68 two years ago, I would choose to be trans in every lifetime. Recognizing and honoring this part of my identity has been so life-giving, affirming, and joyous for me, and despite the constant fear of harm sanctioned by my government against me, I would not change this for the world.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, loves. This world is so much better with you showing up as the most authentic version of yourself, and you are deserving of love, safety, joy, and community. I am glad you're here! ❤️

As of today, I am now offering a new add-on for all in-office massages! Add hot towels to provide extra relief to a group of muscles and get a sticker from local artist/tattoo master , and all proceeds will be matched and donated to Ohio Immigrant Alliance! Let's show up for our immigrant neighbors and melt some ICE.

The Universe read my clients to filth again yesterday! 😂
I offer tarot pulls to go along with massages, helping guide the flow of the massage and allowing the client something to focus their energy on while we work. It's fun, generally insightful, and best of all, the proceeds are matched and donated to ! There is no liberation for some of us without liberation for us all.

In addition to working in my office, I have had the privilege of doing in-home massages in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, yoga studios, hair salons, a houseboat, and art studios. I've met a lot of cats and dogs and a chinchilla, and have worked around piles of books and artwork and houseplants and furniture. Yesterday I was able to do a handful of massages in .dax studio (if the artwork looks familiar to you, I have a piece from him hanging in my office). I love being able to do in-home massage!

For Cincinnati folks, I somewhat regularly come to town for in-home work; if you want to book, please reach out and we can discuss it! (All the merrier if you and a few friends want to make a day of it and do a series of massages in a row!)

I'm grateful for this job and for all of the unique ways it allows me to connect with people. What a gift to know you all!
