About

My name is Zest(he/him), and I specialize in releasing stored trauma in the body and relieving the effects of trauma on the body through massage therapy, Trauma Touch Therapy, and manual lymphatic drainage in a safe and empowering environment. I also utilize this range of services to support trans folks at every stage of their journey, helping with understanding and managing the physiological, somatic, and emotional impacts of the trans experience.

In Seattle, I'm hoping to find grant opportunities for research on the effects of bodywork for people with autoimmune diseases resulting from trauma, as well as funding to provide my services to BIPOC, queer, trans, and non-binary individuals at little to no cost. I believe bodywork is a right, and everyone deserves access to it.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading a good book, spending time outdoors with my dog Bentley, and exploring different ways to aid in inner child healing-especially if it involves bubbles!
