Your bodymind is the most powerful healing tool there is
- our job is to simply unlock it.
If you’re looking for a “just treat yourself” massage, I’m not your go-to therapist. Philosopher’s Stone, as its name sake suggests, is a practice built to transform and elevate; a place you come to
Feel free from your past and free in your movement
Trust your body and know it will support you
Create greater presence, peace, and connection within yourself and with your loved ones
Ultimately, I created Philosopher’s Stone to support you in feeling Human again and embracing all of the beauty of experience that entails without being held back and stifled by pain and trauma. This is a practice for deep, profound healing.
About Your Session

While we will leverage the relaxing effects of massage, our sessions are clinically focused guided by your communication. The work is as multi-dimensional as you are, grounded in anatomy and guided by intuition so we can end the symptom-chasing cycle and get to the root of the issue. We will perform in-depth assessments including a detailed history. Sessions are typically performed clothed.This allows us to periodically check how you are feeling in gravity (because you don’t live your life laying down) without having to resort to improvised sheet toga wraps. These practices allow us to make sure we are exploring effective paths toward relief.
All of my techniques and modalities are meant to evoke a conversation with your nervous system. I prioritize finesse over force. What this means is that instead of me coming in from the outside and metaphorically shouting at your body, “You’re not doing it right! Do what I tell you!” as I pile drive an elbow into your back, we find out why your body (aka your autonomic nervous system, aka your unconscious mind) is holding that pattern, allowing your bodymind to make the appropriate shifts. Honoring your innate healing intelligence. Creating safety and stability in previously tenuous and unstable conditions. Changing compensation systems in ways that are structurally and energetically sound.
Working together we will create an effective treatment plan and develop self care tools that you can easily integrate into your routine to get you back to your life as soon as possible.
About Rhiannon
Though I have always loved to massage (I've been massaging since before I can remember according to my Abuela), I truly understood its power once massage helped dissolve my own pelvic pain and heal my sexual trauma. Traditional pelvic floor physical therapy, capsaicin creams, and talk therapy were unhelpful at best, re-traumatizing at worst. I felt broken, dirty, suffocated in my own skin, as if my body hated me.
Massage and energy work were the breakthrough I needed. I was finally able to rebuild the life I felt I lost, empower myself to self love, and banish the pain that made me feel less than human. You can read my entire story here.
Over my 10+ years as a bodyworker I have continued to build upon my natural talent. Detailed physiological and anatomical study. Deep dives into shadow patterns and energetic flow. Dedicated apprenticeships with teachers around the world. Magick-Mixed Science. All in service to helping you illuminate your darkness. Embodying your strength. Living free.
If you are ready to work intensively in a supportive environment to reach your goals, I look forward to working with you!
