About My Approach
Licensed Massage Therapist in Hartford CT
At Sipala Bodywork, I work with people from all walks of life who want to feel better in their bodies and move with more ease. The goal is simple. Help your body feel more at home.
I’m a licensed massage therapist in Hartford CT and a 200 hour yoga teacher, with training in Thai massage and cupping. My work is shaped by experience across medical, athletic, and movement based environments. My background includes providing medical massage through Hartford HealthCare with cancer and pain management patients, along with work with college athletes and in a yoga studio setting. That mix has exposed me to a wide range of bodies and helps each session stay adaptable and effective.
Sessions often blend hands on massage therapy with mobility work, yoga based alignment, breathwork, and turning flexibility into strength you can actually use. The focus is on reducing pain, improving posture, and building movement that carries into daily life, training, and recovery.
No two sessions are the same. Your structure, your lifestyle, and what your body is dealing with that day guide the work. This is not a one size fits all approach. We adjust as needed and focus on steady, sustainable progress.
Whether you’re recovering from training, dealing with chronic pain, feeling the effects of prolonged sitting, or building strong foundations for functional movement and handstands, this work is meant to support long term wellbeing and a better connection to your body.
