Transcendent Bodyworks

Welcome to Transcendent

Now Booking on Mondays in Marin & Thursdays in Petaluma

Our bodies are our homes, but sometimes they feel so distant. Whether from pain and discomfort, dysphoria, dissatisfaction, injury or trauma, we tend to let the tension build until we are holding every stress deep in our physical selves. Our muscles hurt, our joints ache, our backs and necks are stiff and we wonder how we’ll ever feel well again.

If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place to start a journey toward health and reconnection to your body.

Wellness should be accessible, and therapeutic treatments should be effective. That is why I ensure our sessions are lengthy and in-depth enough to address your needs while providing a time of thorough relaxation and restoration. I work clinically and holistically, combining therapeutic modalities to create a session that is just right for you.

The cost reflects the commitment of my time, energy, and abilities to your health and well-being, while intentionally remaining lower than typical service rates. All tips I receive are treated as donations. They are pooled and used to help offset costs for those who need the work but can't easily offer their own financial resources as compensation.

Mondays in Marin

THURSDAYS in PETALUMA

In case we haven’t met yet, here’s a bit about me, my background, and my passion for making whole-body wellness accessible to all.

Hi, I’m Cassie. I am a massage therapist, a transgender woman, and a mom. I work clinically, comprehensively and compassionately to support your healing and holistic wellness.

When we work together, I bring extensive expertise in myofascial release, trigger point, TMJ, neuromuscular facilitation, stretching techniques, lymphatic drainage, and pre-natal work. Each session, we’ll find ways to combine all of that to address your unique needs. People seek me out for all kinds of aches and pains — especially things like migraine and headache work, help restoring mobility for the neck and shoulders, treatment of chronic pain conditions and nerve pain syndromes, support with recovery from an injury or surgery, and so much more. Besides those focused treatments, I also happily offer full-body Hot Stone, Swedish and Shiatsu services with a focus on relaxation and stress-relief.

I have always been drawn to and invested in the work of creating safe, inviting space and connection for the people around me. But my previous career path was not so focused on that intention. I spent almost 15 years working in digital media and marketing before finally making a change to pursue something I truly love — helping people feel whole.

As someone with a permanent vision disability and lived experience feeling completely at odds with my own body, I have a personal understanding of the challenge self-care and wellness can be for the gender-diverse community and those living with disability, dysphoria or dysmorphia. Public spa and massage spaces can be very, very gendered and intimidating, and the relaxation and healing these places offer often feels uncomfortable or off-limits for those of us who don’t feel at home within cultural norms.

What I aim for, what I care most about, is bringing your mind and body safely back into harmonious connection. What I offer are services to find areas of tension and pain, areas where your body feels limited or unwell, and to aid your relaxation and the restoration of mobility, function, comfort and calm.

I am available for home visits only within Marin County and only on Mondays.
- Must be booked at least 24hrs in advance. I will email or text you to confirm arrival time once I receive your booking notification.
- Suitable space is needed to set up a table in your home for our session (appx. 10 ft. x 6ft. of clear floor space).
Appointment Length
- 3.5 hours (210 minutes) allowing about 2.5-3 hours for massage and 30 minutes for set-up/clean-up and pre-service check-in. If your schedule allows for most but not all of the session time, that is totally fine.
  - I prefer to work in long, fluid sessions where I can incorporate everything you and your body need.
  - This time can be used for back-to-back ~90-minute sessions when needed (two people at the same address)
  - The session cost reflects the time and energy commitment and the added convenience of my travel to you, while remaining lower than typical service rates

Please use the booking form to indicate if you would like me to include any of these in our session, to ensure I have the proper implements with me.

Thursday Appointments in Petaluma

Thursday appointments in Petaluma will be at an office location to be announced. More information will be available soon.

Regarding Tips/Gratuity

I do not expect gratuity for these sessions. The cost I have set is all that is needed.
All tips I receive are treated as donations and pooled to help offset costs for those who need the work but can't easily afford typical service rates.
If you feel you have the resources and would like to occasionally thank me for my work via an additional donation to help me help others, that is incredibly appreciated! Just don't feel obligated.
If you have any questions, please reach out via the form on the contact page.
