Erin is committed to providing a truly relaxing space for people to discover their bodies’ inherent healing wisdom and to feel supported in their self-care. Her ability to genuinely listen to her clients, her innate compassion and kindness, her vast experience, and her wealth of knowledge about the body combine to create a deeply nourishing practice.
Erin’s passion and expertise lie predominantly with people during their childbearing years. Her 25 years of practice as a massage therapist are enhanced by extensive experience in prenatal and postpartum care. She has attended close to 200 births, supporting the empowerment through labor and childbirth, as well as providing care through fertility challenges, miscarriage and loss. In her bodywork practice, Erin is especially dedicated to helping people heal wholly from pregnancy and birth, whether they are 6 months or 20 years postpartum.
Erin's approach is an integrated offering, informed by several treasured healers: Wholistic Pelvic Care™ and advanced energy work with Tami Kent, abdominal therapy as taught by Rosita Arvigo, advanced perinatal massage with Carole Osborne, explorations in embodied anatomy with Pamela Samuelson and the Ecstatic Body, the birth doula mentorship of a lifetime with wombkeeper Thérèse Hak-Kuhn, the foundational teachings of touch from Tracy Walton, and the most profound education from the thousands of body stories her hands have been trusted to hold.

Testimonials

Erin is one of the best massage therapists I’ve ever known. I’ve seen her through three pregnancies and postpartum, as well as long after the postpartum period. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the body and how it connects with the mind , has very responsive touch, and is a fount of knowledge about pregnancy. She is always calming to talk to. I highly recommend seeing her (whether you’re pregnant or not)! - Lia O

I threw my back out and was barely able to walk. A friend suggested I call Meg, and they were able to fit me in that day, As a newly referred client, I climbed onto Meg’s table thinking that I’d feel a little better after. They did some physical investigation of my sacrum, and from there planned their approach to work on me. They did something I had never heard of before. They would ask me to identify which movement would cause me less pain, and whichever I said they worked toward that side. I was slightly skeptical of what they were doing thinking that deep pressure point massage would be the only thing that worked.
When they were done, I did feel looser, but nothing earth shattering. The next morning however, I hopped out of bed. I had no pain, and couldn’t believe it because first thing in the morning was when the pain and stiffness were at its worst. I was able to go back to work, and was AMAZED that I was “cured”. I was so appreciative of their scheduling flexibility and that they helped me to realize that "working the pain out” would have been counterproductive. - Emily S

We are so lucky to have two of the best massage therapists in the world right in our backyard. I have traveled and lived in many places, and have had massage in most of them, but when I started working with Erin, I thought I had found the best. Enter Meg, I’m not sure who is better. A massage with either of them always helps my chronic back problems and makes me fell so much better! - Tamara I

Meeting Meg at Bodywise has been a complete game changer throughout my pregnancy and postpartum recovery. I started working with Meg in my third trimester of a very long and uncomfortable second pregnancy. I had horrible sciatica pain that radiated constantly and a noticeable limp due to the sciatica discomfort.
After only a handful of regular appointments targeting this pain, my gait steadily improved- so did my mindset AND I successfully went into labor without any back or sciatica pain. Following the birth, due to positions of holding and feeding the baby, I experienced severe pain in my shoulders and neck so intense I could not fully raise my left arm above my head. I called Meg as soon as I could to schedule something. They once again began to nurture my body back to a functional state. It is clear they are passionate and extremely gifted in their craft. Meg takes the time to offer stretches and techniques in between sessions to also alleviate pain.
Prior to working with Meg, I thought of massage as a form of relaxation, now I know the truly healing natures of body work. I appreciated Meg’s calm and comforting demeanor as they compassionately checked in with me before each session to set intentions based on what I needed most. Massage with Bodywise is a true investment in mental and physical well being and something I will continue to budget for. - Lindsay C.
