Wholistic Bodywork

Bio:

Ariana Williams is licensed and practicing as a Registered Massage Therapist. With a diverse ever-growing skill set, and over nine years of body work experience, she is comfortable taking on challenging cases while being dedicated to finding and treating the sources of pain and discomfort for the client. Her goal is to remove tension patterns and restore optimal movement, function and well being.

Ariana has a deep appreciation for nature, and an insatiable curiosity and passion for learning about healing arts, natural hygiene, medicinal plants and wild foraging. When not studying or practicing she enjoys spending time alone, with pets and loved ones, going on adventures with friends, exploring nature, and engaging in anything that feels like a creative project.
