Eliza Volk
I’ve been passionately involved in the healing arts for many years. Having grown up on a small farm outside New York City, I’ve always been very connected with nature, finding peace and serenity within the guided wisdom of the earth. I bring my enthusiasm for the healing arts into physical form through massage, bodywork, and yoga. Having studied extensively in Asia, I incorporate powerfully transformative healing modalities originating from the Eastern world, with anatomical and therapeutic knowledge of the West.
I have a positive, life-affirming approach to healing and I offer an eclectic range of high-quality healing modalities, including alignment-based yoga, intuitive massage, and ThaiVedic Bodywork. My approach to bodywork is grounded, strong, nurturing and intuitively guided to bring about deep transformation. Each treatment is specific to a person’s unique needs, facilitating their own innate ability to heal.
