Overview

Hello and welcome! My massage style is informed by 10+ years of yoga teaching. I know how bodies are supposed to move and can intuitively sense where blockages are. While each session is different, I like to incorporate breath and a bit of stretching into the massage. I'm also careful to ease into the more tender parts so you are never in a state of "ouch". I began this work in 2015, offering bodywork to my yoga students. Since then,... it has slowly grown to be my main modality. I work out of my home in Kingston NY, and spend 2-3 days at my studio in NYC. While I do my best to respond to all inquiries, I prioritize those that are obviously composed by a human.

Thank you for reading! Big hugs.

I’ve been looking for someone like Alder for ages. I’m mobility impaired, so he was kind enough to come to my apartment. He was on time, communicative, and gave the most skilled massage I’ve ever had! Next time I’m booking two hours. Thank you Alder!
