Luigiano Continenza, LMT

 

I am a queer, transgender and non-binary bodyworker /massage therapist and gender support coach based out of Tacoma WA. I thoroughly enjoy working with the complexities of the human body and truly believe in the body's capacity to heal and regenerate itself on every level including physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

During a bodywork session with me, an intentional container is held for you to release what may no longer be serving thus creating an opening to invite in an invigorating and uplifting experience. My approach combines many different styles of massage to work with each individually unique body, treating your body as a whole system to assist in the empowerment and restoration of itself.

It is a fundamental principle of mine to create and hold a welcoming healing space for all people, in particular marginalized and oppressed communities. I believe everyone should have accessibility to bodywork, education and wellness at large and I offer a number of sliding scale slots each month.

I am actively involved in gender/queer politics as well as working against systematic oppression. I was inspired to develop the Beyond the Binary workshop series in 2017 so more providers could be trained on trans-competency and become visible in order for trans and gender diverse communities to have access to an abundance of care that we deserve. Oftentimes, there can be a large disconnect from providers working with “bodies that don’t fit the mold.” It can be extremely difficult and vulnerable on many levels to access the care that is needed for optimal health and well-being and these trainings are provided to help bridge that gap.

 

I HOLD SPACE FOR OUR SESSIONS IN A WARM, BODY POSITIVE, gender affirming ENVIRONMENT. I ENJOY WORKING WITH AND WELCOME ALL BODIES ON & OFF THE GENDER SPECTRUM INCLUDING MARGINALIZED FOLX WHO ARE NOT SEEN, HEARD OR UNDERSTOOD BY THE SYSTEM AT LARGE. I OFFER A NUMBER OF SLIDING SCALE slots EACH MONTH AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU
