Hi, my name is Charity “Ari” Whiting. I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2008. I offer conscious bodywork for the sensitive individual. My treatments attend to the body, mind and soul with special consideration for the multi-dimensional nature of the human body. I regard our sense of touch as sacred and this is reflected in the gentle, intentional and intuitively guided touch that is characteristic of my work.

With a long held belief in our ability to heal ourselves and deep reverence for the body’s self healing mechanisms, I leverage the power of touch to help you activate your internal healing processes. By palpating the soft tissue to gather information and then using that information to support the body in its self-correction, my treatments are highly personalized and result-oriented.

My work acts as a ground wire, letting you know your body is safe so that your conscious awareness turns within, under the influence of your parasympathetic nervous system, inducing a state of Theta brain activity. Here you are invited on an inner journey, floating in and out of a trance-like rest and deep relaxation. In this space we find access to our own solutions and resources. Specific focus is given to the lymphatic system and fascial network and each session is intended to regulate your nervous system.

With advanced training in traditional Thai massage, I bring Metta, or loving kindness, into my work, creating physical and emotional safety for my clients in a nonjudgemental and empathetic space. Using tools such as weighted tuning forks and semi precious stones (including amethyst, aquamarine, rose quartz, selenite and tourmaline) attention is given to the energetic body as well as the physical body, harmonizing the frequency of the bio-field and introducing coherence to your tissue at a cellular level.
