Bodywork in Brooklyn for People Who’ve Tried Everything

61a 9th Street, Suite 5, right in the middle of Gowanus — a short walk from the F and G at Smith–9th Street and the R at Union Street.

It’s a serene, private space shared with Laura of LK Wellness, who offers acupuncture, So Thai Yin massage, and microneedling.

Hands-on work with fascia — the connective tissue running through your whole body — combined with movement education and somatic awareness.

It releases tension, improves posture, and builds real ease and balance. It’s in a class of its own, and it will leave you feeling better than before.

Because it isn’t aimed at the same target. PT rehabilitates an injury, massage relaxes muscle, acupuncture works the energetic system — all useful, none of them reorganizing how your body is put together.

When relief keeps wearing off, it’s usually because the underlying pattern never changed. That pattern is what this work addresses.

We talk first — how you feel, how you move, what’s bothering you — then I assess your posture and movement for the imbalances underneath it.

Sessions are interactive. You won’t just lie on the table: I’ll guide you through subtle movements while I work, and we’ll move between the table, a chair, and standing so you can feel what shifts in each. We talk throughout, about what you’re noticing and about how body and mind are tracking each other.

Before you go we reassess, and I’ll often give you a simple exercise to hold the change between sessions.

Each one-hour session is $240.

That’s a full hour of high-touch, one-on-one work focused entirely on you — not a few minutes of a practitioner’s time. It’s built to create deep, lasting change by addressing your body’s particular restrictions and movement patterns, and it’s an investment in your long-term mobility and recovery.

Members of the neighbourhood’s climbing gyms receive a 15% discount.

It isn’t, but FSA and HSA funds can usually be used with a doctor’s note — and I can guide you through that process.

It depends on your body and your goals. Many people notice a meaningful improvement after one session; deeper transformation usually takes a series.

Some clients complete a structured 10-session series that works the entire body from head to toe. Others book as they need to and come back for periodic tune-ups. We’ll talk it through and build a plan that fits your life.

Each session lasts 60 minutes — room enough for thorough bodywork, movement education, and dialogue about the mind-body connection.

Sessions are scheduled every Wednesday from 10am to 2pm. You pick the time that suits you during booking.

Wear clothing that allows access to your body and that you can move around in: a sports bra with tight or loose-fitting shorts, or gym shorts.

Remove necklaces, bracelets, and watches, and put long hair up and out of the way. Your comfort and privacy will always be respected.

The work goes deep, but causing pain is never the goal — releasing tension effectively and comfortably is. Communication matters here, and we always work at a pressure level that feels right for you.

24 hours’ advance notice of a cancelled or rescheduled appointment is required for your deposit to be refunded and to avoid being charged.

With less than 24 hours’ notice you’ll be charged the full price of the session. Appointments are cancelled on receipt of a cancellation email from our office — if you don’t receive one, contact maya@helloalignment.com immediately to avoid late charges.
