BeHeld Body Work
Duluth, MN
My body work is energy care that uses loving touch to relieve tension, release blockages, unwind knots, and bring a sense of ease and relaxation. I use warm massage oil, calming music, soft blankets, and candles to create a peaceful setting. I can also add in Eastern healing modalities like gua sha and cupping if desired.
Humans thrive off touch and attention. Many people do not receive enough touch and are rarely given undivided attention, so body work is an act of self-care. It gives you a chance to unwind and feel cherished and taken care of. Body and energy work are my passion. I started my journey with it over a decade ago. I’m Reiki II certified and have trained with massage therapists. I love to tune in and deeply listen to each client’s body and what they need.
My goal is to make people feel amazing instead of beaten up like they might after an overly intense massage. I take all ages (18+), ethnicities, body types, genders, and orientations. I enjoy working on all kinds of people and am accepting of every shape and size. Feel too big or small, have body hair, or moles? No worries! Have something someone has shamed you about? I'm here to bring acceptance for your vessel!
The one rule is that I touch you and that you don’t touch me or get creepy. I sometimes find that people want to return touch. While I’m happy to receive platonic touch during a SAT session, I require that clients keep their hands to themselves while I give energy work. It is a directional service solely focused on you. I also stay clothed (clients can get fully undressed, but I keep on my stuff). I’m fine if people react physically as that can be a completely natural response, but I want to be treated as a valued professional.
