Hello!
My name is Iva Vujčić Dubyak (they/them). I am a licensed massage therapist with diverse somatic experience. I am trained in modalities including: myofascial release, deep tissue, neuromuscular therapy, structural bodywork, craniosacral therapy, intraoral massage, muscle energy techniques, cupping, and gua sha. Depending on your goals & requests, what your body communicates, and the needs of your nervous system — any or most of these techniques may be integrated into a session. I am here to listen directly to your story and tissue to find opportunities for ease, space, and functional change.
I’ve dealt with chronic pain since I was 15, sports and manual work injuries throughout my youth and adult life, auto-immune issues from the age of 7, and generally have a lot of practice at advocating for care based on bodily needs. I share this to provide a little context for my skilled, intuitive, and nerdy relationship to bodywork.
I think the ocean is a wonderful metaphor for the human body. It is vast, changes minute to minute, and evades prescriptive knowing unless we slow down and really pay attention. My bodywork practice is collaborative and led by listening, my role is to facilitate whatever healing work is possible together in the moment. I’m excited to meet you and start our work together.
