I, Helena Rae Haven, founder of Intimate Earth Massage, stand against transphobia, as well as the ideologies of trans-exclusionary radical feminism and sex-worker exclusionary radical feminism. I stand against racism, xenophobia, deportation, and prisons. I stand against genocide. I stand against fatphobia, ableism, and homophobia.
I stand with Palestine. I stand with trans folks and my beloved trans community. I stand with all queer folks and support queer love in every iteration. I stand with sex workers. I stand with anarchists, radicals, and anti-capitalists. I stand with BIPOC communities. I stand with the chronically ill and disabled. All people are welcome in my practice and will be treated with equal respect and care.
just so we’re clear…
Why gender-expansive body therapy?
Because everyone deserves lymphatic, pelvic, & abdominal massage care - but wellness culture is still catching up.
I do this work because I believe every human deserves access to compassionate, intentional, and skilled bodywork services.
As a nonbinary intuitive and retired full service sex worker, I craved pelvic care spaces that respected my gender identity and high level of sensitivity while holding my history without judgment. After setting out to participate in several trainings for intimate care modalities, it was clear to me that the wellness industry is still moralistic, commercialized, and often even trans-exclusionary. So, knowing that it may cost me clients, I decided to be fully transparent in my business about who I stand with and what I stand for.
