About me and this work:

I come from an ancestral cosmology of African-Caribbean-Diaspora-Witchiness that I have spent most of my life re-wilding myself back into alignment with through my own spiritual journey. Tarot, meditation, astrology and spiritual readings have been supportive and healing for me at times of great change and uncertainty and I’m so grateful to offer these sessions to my community.

Greetings!

I’m Andréa, Drea and/or Dandara. Open to whichever resonates. I’m a body work practitioner, movement and music artist and community nurturer. Here, I hold space to honor your body’s request to slow down, notice, map, melt, deeply breathe…

My experience as a dancer and Capoeirista significantly influences my trainings, learning and approach in therapeutic touch. I appreciate sharing the tools and resources that support and nourish my own well-being and may benefit others.

After a check in and hearing your needs I will focus on the areas where your body is calling your attention while also acknowledging and honoring your mental and emotional space at the moment.

My services include Swedish and Thai massage and Fire cupping. Within these techniques you may experience deep tissue compression, joint rotation, passive or collaborative stretching, acupressure, rocking and/or jostling.

I use an integrative approach with the intention to remind your body of its connectivity. At times I may incorporate sound, rocking, heat or holds.

I deeply listen to the pace and receptiveness I perceive from the body I’m working with and also encourage clients to honestly and continuously advocate for what you need throughout. I will do what I can to adapt.

Testimonials I’ve received are that I have a firm touch and a gentle approach. I also extend an enthusiastic invitation to nap, to twitch, to snore, to drool here.

Greetings! I’m Andréa, Drea and/or Dandara. Open to whichever resonates. I’m a body work practit... Read More

Blossoming, joyous, warm, whimsical welcome! I am so deeply grateful for the choices you have made to find yourself here, interested in connecting. Stories are important and the stories we have about our bodies(bodies that we live with), tell our bodies, and the stories our bodies try to tell us are very meaningful. A craniosacral session with me is like having a tea date with your body and the many relationships that you are. Craniosacral is a gentle hands on and fully clothed session that is a time to practice full-body listening and full-body relating while on a massage table. Craniosacral is akin to traditional bone and touch practices, and what-is-now-called chiropractic practices. Craniosacral, however, returns us to slowness. When my hands are on your clothed body, we both listen and wait. Body will make the adjustments needed at the pace that is aligned with wild rhythms. Craniosacral can hydrate myofascia connective tissue, increase fluidity and flexibility, support vitality expression, unwind and uncouple conditioned patterns from authentic embodiment, nourish intuitive living, and support returning to being in relationship with life.

The stories that arise from listening in this way can be meaningful information for re-connecting sources of dis-connection. Dis-ease, dis-order, and dis-comfort can arise when communication and relating are blocked, compressed, twisted, or distorted. Feeling more deeply and more fully the relationships that bodies live, and feeling part of those relationships again, can grow into living healing relationships with people, ancestors, blessings, community, helpers, nature, water, dreams, aliveness, creativity, collective liberation, mysteries, and life. When we can feel our aliveness more fully, we can know how to respect the aliveness in all, and we can feel our impact. Creating time to listen with curiosity and compassion to the many relationships and stories that you are is what nourishes personal and collective healing.

I have trained with Heartwood Institute of Integrative Medicine and Body Intelligence, receiving my craniosacral certificate from Heartwood in 2017. Now I cherish practicing how when we again listen to the quiet voices of body we can again hear the quiet voices in community, so that no person nor no organ needs to be louder than they want to have their message heard. I practice on the homelands of the Dakhóta people and then the HoChunk and Anishinaabe people whose continual care of land means we have a place to meet for craniosacral. My practice is slowly being informed by my heritage practices as I reconnect with my ancestral ways of healing. My ancestors are people who were in relationship with the places that are now known as Sweden, Germany, Czechia, and Hungary. I offer to people of all identities.

I cherish being part of people creating time to value their relationships with themselves, so please know that I delight in helping with any barriers to sessions. Sessions can be for prevention or treatment. I value prevention and undoing the medical industrial complex notion that people have to break to receive support. We are all creative people and it is fun to be creative together to tailor your session for you.

May you leave each session feeling like your favorite song is dancing alongside of you.
