Luigiano LC Continenza

The environment I cultivate is gender-affirming, trauma-informed and body-positive. I enjoy working with all people and have a specialty serving queer, trans, gender diverse LGBTQ+ and intersectional communities at large with a variety of massage styles tailoring a unique experience for each individual. I also specialize in scar tissue treatments in particular post gender affirming top surgery.I am a believer that all bodies benefit from bodywork and massage. Touch is an extremely valuable part of the human experience and our daily lives require quite a demand on our physical selves: muscles, joints and connective tissue as well as our mental & emotional bodies. The body is a very complex, interconnected system all working together as one. Because of this interconnected network, I address your whole self to assist in specific treatment work and realignment so you can move forward in the world with a sense of ease. It is a fundamental principle of mine to create and hold a welcoming healing space for all people, in particular marginalized and oppressed communities. I believe everyone should have accessibility to bodywork, education and wellness at large and I offer a number of sliding scale slots each month. I am actively involved in gender/queer politics as well as working against systematic oppression. I was inspired to develop the Beyond the Binary workshop series in 2017 so more providers could be trained on trans-competency and become visible in order for trans and gender diverse communities to have access to an abundance of care that we deserve. Oftentimes, there can be a large disconnect from providers working with “bodies that don’t fit the mold.” It can be extremely difficult and vulnerable on many levels to access the care that is needed for optimal health and well-being and these trainings are provided to help bridge that gap.
