Massage & bodywork
Massage & Bodywork
Clinical, unhurried bodywork in a private suite on Union Square West — not a conveyor belt, not a chain.
What we treat
Every session starts with a short intake: what hurts, what you did to it, what you need to be able to do tomorrow. The work is then built around that rather than around a menu item. Select a massage type below — general sessions let you choose between Antoni and Angela, and a few specialty sessions are automatically booked with the practitioner who does that work.
General
Specialty
Included in each session
Hot stone. Heated basalt stones used to open tissue before deeper manual work.
Hot towel finishing. Towels from the warmer at the end of the session.
What to expect
The table is heated, the linens are fresh for every client, and the room is private with a door that closes — you are not behind a curtain. You undress to your comfort level and are draped throughout. Pressure is calibrated continuously; the useful instruction is not "harder" or "softer" but telling the therapist when a spot changes from productive discomfort to bracing.
Arrive five minutes early if it is your first visit. The studio is on the fifth floor at 41 Union Square West, Suite 501, and there is a waiting area if you land early.
The CBD and Emu oil difference
We work with a proprietary CBD and Emu oil formula developed in-house. Emu oil carries well through the skin and makes the CBD easier to work in, and the glide is closer to a balm than a standard massage lotion, which suits sustained deep tissue work. There is a full explanation on the CBD & Emu oil massage page.
