betsy housten

licensed massage therapist

massage is essential to everyday health and ease of being, mindful presence and intentional action. my mission is to bring personalized and affordable bodywork to radical and progressive communities; to reset and restore, energize and invigorate. i ground my practice in the belief that making the world more compassionate starts with taking a little time for yourself, and finding a restful, strengthened place within your body to guide you forward.

i’m a graduate of the swedish institute in new york city and a fully-insured licensed massage therapist. i recently completed a three-month herbal medicine-making program at third root community health center, and you'll find herbs and flowers in some of my homemade massage oils. i also write, make zines, play drums, meditate, and hold a bachelor’s degree in english and women’s studies from the college of new jersey. future adventures include pursuing training in trauma support and craniosacral therapy.
