Hi! I'm Berto (they/them). My interest in bodywork stems from a lifetime interest in bodies; training in dance from a young age all the way through a college BFA, as well as struggling with a connective tissue disease most of my life. As a massage therapist I strive to collaborate with my clients and to make space for healing. I believe healing is not linear and often involves being present with (and without judgement of) our pain. I use a variety of techniques from my 8 years of professional experience to help my clients find relief and change. I recently moved to Philadelphia to attend The Won Institute for Graduate Studies to expand my practice into acupuncture. In my free time I love to line dance and do handcrafts like knitting and sewing. I look forward to working with you!
