I’m Colleen, a queer licensed massage therapist in Wilmington, Delaware, for people who are exhausted from holding everything together. I came to this work through my own trauma and health conditions, and I specialize in massage and bodywork for nervous system regulation, though that’s not my only focus.
I work with queer, trans, and nonbinary people of all cultural backgrounds, and as a cisgender practitioner, I hold that work with care and accountability. Whether you’re navigating gender transition, chronic illness or pain, medical trauma, grief, or a complicated relationship with your body or being touched, you are welcome here. Neurodivergence is always welcome too.
My training includes massage for LGBTQIA+ clients, hospice and PTSD massage, somatic coaching, cupping, Reiki, and end-of-life doula care (also called death doula care) — any of which can be woven into your sessions.
My approach is trauma-informed, trauma-experienced, and consent-driven, through what I call powerful gentleness. That means we move at your pace. You are never required to connect or reconnect to your body, and you can stay fully clothed. Every session is tailored to what you need and the capacity you have that day.
All clients begin with a free virtual consultation, so we can make sure it’s a good fit before anything else.
