The Iris

Women's wellness massage — a space where your body is understood

Liz, licensed massage therapist and founder of The Iris

Healing built on understanding

The Iris was born from a simple belief: that every woman deserves a massage therapist who truly understands her body. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, managing a chronic condition, or simply seeking a space that feels safe and considered, this is your place.

As a solo practice, every detail is intentional — from the allergen-free products to the specialized techniques for conditions like MCAS and POTS. There are no generic treatments here. Every session is shaped around you.

Care for complex needs

Trained and experienced in conditions that are too often dismissed or misunderstood. Your body's signals are heard here.

Prenatal Care

Specialized techniques adapted for each trimester, supporting your changing body with positioning, pressure, and products designed for pregnancy. Relief for back pain, swelling, and the weight of growing life.

MCAS Support

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome demands an environment free from triggers. The Iris is allergen-free by default — unscented, hypoallergenic, and meticulously controlled so your body can relax instead of react.

POTS Awareness

Postural changes during massage can trigger symptoms for those with POTS. Sessions are adapted with careful transitions, positioning awareness, and pacing that respects your autonomic nervous system.

Allergen-free by default

You shouldn't have to ask for a safe environment. At The Iris, allergen-free isn't an accommodation — it's the standard. Every product, every surface, every detail is chosen with sensitivity in mind.

  • 100% fragrance-free and unscented products
  • Hypoallergenic linens, laundered without dyes or perfumes
  • No essential oils, candles, or diffusers in the treatment space
  • Air purification and allergen-controlled environment
  • Full ingredient transparency — always
