Massage Therapy in DC for Every Body
Bring actively inclusive massage therapy back to DC
Massage is not a luxury, it’s a vital form of care. But the pandemic pushed DC’s only radically inclusive massage practice to shut down in 2021 – and the average spa does not provide affirming care for every body. Now, Rhizome Bodyworks is bringing back a space for affirming, socially conscious, therapeutic bodywork in our community, and we need your help to get off the ground.

A Place for Outsiders, Weirdos, and Every Body
[This is placeholder text.] Rhizome Bodyworks is explicitly designed with large bodies, visably trans and queer people, and people of color who bear the brunt of social stigma in mind. We believe at a core level that there is no wrong way to have a body. Every body deserves access to safe and affirming touch.
