"Your body is a temple, respect it and it will bless you."   -Shiamak Davar

I am an NYS Licensed massage therapist, sound practitioner, and visual artist.

HND + TMPL speaks to the core value of utilizing hands, heart, and mind to honor the temple that is your body. Bodywork is about listening, supporting, and appreciating the body as it is. It's the ability to create more space, freedom, comfort, and, in turn, more joy.

I seek the intersection of mediums that provide a haven from social-emotional isolation and supports our adaptive capabilities to self-soothe and heal. Much of my work comes from the impulse to create more space in the nervous system and body through vibrational frequencies that connect us to our ancestral wisdom and being.

I am a former GYROTONIC instructor and massage educator for Bliss Spa, LLC, which has informed my twenty years of experience. I practice both in NYC and Upstate NY.

“I witness the healing present in your body, listen for the message and watch the signs offered and then I honor the wholeness of your health and wellness.”
