About Me

Hi - I’m Chanda, my pronouns are she/they.

I’m queer, fat, and a body practitioner. 

I’m a Libra sun and moon with an Aries rising. I’m a firm believer in good food, belly laughs with your favorite people, and spending time outdoors - simple joy is as beneficial as bodywork. I also believe in body neutrality, radical self-love, and that every single body from every single walk of life deserves bodywork and conscious healing. 

When the Pandemic hit, I had been working in the events industry for almost 10 years and for the first time in my adult life was forced to slow down. This led me through a journey of self-discovery, healing, and living a slower, more intentional life. Once I went back to work and life came back to the new “normal”, I realized that I was pouring my time into things that drained me and lacked passion. I knew I needed to make a change in my career and wanted to create something impactful and inclusive. 

In March of 2023, I took the leap and started school at San Francisco School of Massage and Bodywork. I completed their 600-hour CMT training, specializing in Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage. I found joy and focus in healing work. Our bodies hold so much of our stories. In my practice, I hold space for the whole process - emotional triggers and physical triggers are often intertwined. 

My goal is to create a safe space for every BODY. I provide trauma-informed care that is centered around consent and the individual needs of my clients. Your queerness will be celebrated and your differences held and honored. My practice holds space for all of the pieces of the process. 

About My Practice

My practice is centered around inclusivity. It is my firm belief that every single body is deserving of receiving healing touch. When you work with me you can expect nonjudgemental and trauma informed care. This space is designed for you, exactly as you are. That means however you need to show up to each session is exactly okay, even if it’s different than before. I’m here for your emotions, your healing, your joy and anything that comes up during your session.

My practice is a safe space for fat bodies, queer bodies, BIPOC bodies and anyone who has felt excluded from bodywork due to accessibility or fear of judgement.

  • Yes! I accept sliding scale on a case by case basis. I will not ask for pay stubs or proof of income, but if you are in need of bodywork and are unable to pay my prices please reach out, I am happy to accommodate a small number of sliding scale clients per month.

    Sliding scale prices are prioritized to low income queer, trans, bipoc, and fat folks.

  • It means exactly that!

    Please undress to your level of comfort for that day. It can change session to session.

    Please feel free to leave on any item of clothing you want to leave on. I can work around clothes for any session, we will have a conversation about what kind of work will be able to accomplish based on what items of clothing you keep on.

    I have clients who only keep their underwear on, I have clients who undress completely, I have some clients that want to leave other items of clothing on. Either way, you will be fully draped. The only part of your body that will be exposed is the one I am currently working on.

    If at any point you want to add more clothing or want me to work OVER the drape so your skin isn’t exposed, we can do that at any point during your session. This time is for you, and you should feel safe and comfortable at every moment.

  • Not at this time.

    If you’re worried about affording treatment please see my sliding scale information.
