I first came to Muktti for Therapeutic Bodywork after childbirth made a longterm tick/pain in my hip get much worse. My hip always would hurt a bit if I walked for a long time, but it was much more present after having a baby--enough that I wanted to find some help to sort out the root cause: it felt like something was out of wack!

Muktti's treatment was soft, gentle, with movement and intuition, asking questions and feeling her way gently around my body and guiding things into place and into better connection with itself. The gentle movements almost felt so soft that I couldn't imagine it making much of a difference (beyond being extremely relaxing) but once I stood up after the first treatment, it was immediately clear how much...more connected, open, smooth, and easy my body felt. It is a little hard to describe. But I was able to almost glide home as I walked, my hip feeling such relief. We worked together with regular sessions for several months to help heal that long out of alignment hip and the various ways my body had adjusted to compensate, including my neck, forearms, and legs. Muktti has a lovely, holistic way of seeking sources of pain and tension in the body that I deeply appreciate (and so does my body!). She certainly gave my hip attention, but also has a curiosity and seeks to understand the connections in the body that are both downstream and upstream of the acute pain source. She has shown me several things I can do at home to help, as well, which has been much appreciated.

I've now become a regular client of Muktti's, for I think over two years! And she's helped me learn how and where to pay attention to my body, ways to heal myself and listen to when I might need a bit of extra attention. Every once and a while my hip flares up again, and so I go see Muktti and it seems to resolve much quicker, and with fewer sessions (often just one, whereas initially it took regular visits).

I easily recommend Muktti to anyone looking to unblock something, explore a source of chronic pain, or feel more grounded and connected in their body. Her space as well as her presence are always very kind and gentle, which adds to the healing experience. She is intuitive, kind, warm, and professional--I immediately feel at ease in her presence.

Thank you Muktti, and I look forward to my next session! 🙂

Muktti is a deeply gifted and kind person who brings skilled presence to her bodywork sessions. Her intuitive approach puts me directly in touch with my inner healer, and I always leave our sessions with relaxation and insight about what my body needs.

Muktti is a caring and calm practitioner, and she creates a very comfortable environment for her clients. My experience receiving bodywork from her was deeply relaxing. She brings a lot of joy to her work -- it's clear this is what she deeply knows and loves to do.

I have been very fortunate to receive therapeutic bodywork from Muktti for the past two years. Cautious at first about the value of such gentle touch, so different from the deep-pressure work I had become accustomed to, I was soon delighted by her approach. Invariably she relaxed me into a mediative state in which I experienced a release of tension in all the parts of my body that suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and peripheral neuropathy: my joints and the muscles that connect and support them. Her hands always seemed to know where to go. Even the tension in my scalp lessened with her light touch and with the moments when she escalated her pressure just a bit. Working with Muktti became a meditative experience that left my body and mind in a more peaceful state.
At the beginning of each session, Muktti would listen carefully and responsively to my condition since our last session. At the end she would comment on how I was walking and advise me about things I could do between sessions. She gave me techniques about posture and movement that continue to help me with my gait. It had become stiff and off balance, presenting a risk of falling. At nearly seventy-eight with low bone density, that could pose serious problems.
In my experience, Muktti’s approach is skillful, professional and unique. It comes from her training in bodywork and meditation, and, more importantly, from her heart. She has helped me change my attitude toward my condition. I am so grateful to have her support in my effort to heal and strengthen my body and my attitude toward it.
In short, Muktti always gives so much of herself. She is deeply devoted to her work and her clients. She is a gift.

For the last 60 of my 82 years I have benefited greatly on multiple levels from working with some excellent health care practitioners. Mukttī is one of them. Her professional skill, focused presence, and caring attitude create a healing space that has been most needed during these past two years that we have worked together. Mukttī’s techniques embody a unique sensitivity, gentleness, and strength and have consistently had me leave the table feeling physical release, emotional lift, and energetic expansion. With highest recommendation, much appreciation and gratitude, Paula Luna.

Muktti was fantastic. I had been experiencing difficult stomach pain and blockages in my bowel movements, and one session with Muktti made an enormous difference in moving my digestive system along. She was warm, kind, and professional. She took extra time to make the room comfortable for me, and to explain what she was doing. I felt safe, cared for, and felt much better after the session. Thank you Muktti!

Muktti's work is profound and unique. Gentle, subtle, but undeniably powerful, this work has the potential to shift patterns of energy and physiology at the deepest levels. Beyond just bodywork, this modality offers a way to restore connection with our deepest nature.
