Healing at the Core
Bodywork and education that connects, restores, and empowers.
Core Connections is a place where healing and learning come together. We offer therapeutic bodywork that honors both Eastern and Western traditions, blending abdominal therapy, Chinese Medicine, Visceral Manipulation, energy healing and Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage. Our work supports digestive and reproductive health, stress relief, and overall wellbeing with an approach that is both grounding and deeply restorative.
Education is at the heart of what we do. Alongside hands-on sessions, we provide continuing education in abdominal massage for massage therapists, with plans to expand opportunities for practitioners and clients alike to explore the wisdom of touch and self-care.

Safe & Effective Practice
Our continuing education programs are created for massage therapists who want to bring safe, respectful, and effective abdominal therapy into their practice. Rooted in thousands of years of traditional medicine and grounded by a modern understanding of anatomy and physiology, our classes emphasize assessment, sensitivity, and confidence — so each practitioner can adapt their work to the unique needs of every client. Instruction blends clear teaching with guided, hands-on practice in a supportive environment. While our current focus is professional training, future offerings will also extend this learning to clients and the wider community.
Assessment & Adaptability

Oneness in Learning

Bodywork at Core Connections
Our bodywork is rooted in compassion, respect, and an understanding of how the core connects to the whole body. We offer custom massage sessions blending Eastern and Western approaches to support digestion, reproductive health, stress relief, chronic/acute pain or injury, and overall wellbeing. Some of the styles we draw from include Visceral Manipulation, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) massage, Swedish and Abhyanga (Ayurvedic warm oil massage). Every session is tailored through assessment and attentive listening, so the care you receive is as individual as you are.
