Bodywork for the Woman who is ready to Soften
I’m here to serve the woman who is exhausted from caring for everyone except herself. I see you. And yes, you do deserve that hour for yourself.
Sacred bodywork for the women who is ready to soften
Women are exhausted from caring for everyone except themselves. It’s made them rigid, tense, and frozen. They feel stuck and can’t seem to find the time or space they so desperately need.
Sound familiar?
That’s why I’ve created the space for you.
A session with me will give your mind, body & essence the safe space it needs to finally unwind the layers of expectation and stress that you’ve been holding onto.
My space gives you the opportunity to let go of the anxiety, mental exhaustion and societal expectations that are keeping you going 24/7.
This is how you soften–by letting yourself be held by another.
Welcome to GLV Bodywork.
Hi, I’m Genesis!
As early as I can remember, my body was in pain. Growing up between Ecuador and the US, I never felt like I truly belonged. I was stuck between two languages, two cultures, and two worlds, each with their own expectations and societal norms. All of the stress of this at such a young age got embedded into my physical body and was never addressed.
With no outlet, my body chose to raise the alarm through pain. I spent my teenage years and early 20s collapsed and dissociated. The only way I knew how to deal with the pain was to numb myself through food, TV, and staying in bed.
Until I just couldn’t take it anymore.
I tried talk therapy, physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care, plant medicine, yoga, strength training and nothing worked.
It wasn’t what my body needed and I didn’t know how to find the answer.
I started practicing intentional self-massage to reconnect to my body and figure out what was going on…and slowly but surely the years of pent up grief and fear started softening and coming up to be processed.
It was a profound and beautiful journey that left me humbled and in awe of what our bodies carry.
Even as a nurse practitioner, I had never seen healing like this before.
Five years later I am living firmly rooted in my body. The connection I built with myself is one of trust and my body no longer communicates with me through constant pain.
This is the work I now share with other women who find themselves at the same crossroads I was in all those years ago.
We shouldn’t have to face pain alone, and when you work with me, you won’t have to.
My Approach
The bodywork I offer is a blend of myofascial release, craniosacral work, lymphatic work, and nervous-system-led somatic touch. We may move through spirals of the body — the cranium, jaw, and belly — supporting lymphatic flow along the way with the reminder of your nervous system capacity.
In every session, I create a space safe enough for you to feel as your pain and experiences are never dismissed.
The bodywork session is approached from a non-extractive and nourishing way; the one where we are not goal oriented even though we will meet the layers that are ready to resurface. I follow what your body shows me rather than forcing it toward a fixed outcome.
When you work with me, I want you to feel held, seen, and trusted in what you're feeling. It's safe here to feel the full spectrum of emotions. I hold frequent reminders throughout each session to move with care and attunement. I see you, and I am here to serve — meeting you wherever you're at, and whatever wants to come into this space.

Testimonials
I felt present in a way I don't always get to experience. There's been no single dramatic turning point, just a steady sense of calm that's stayed with me since. — it has a way of releasing things you didn't even know you were holding onto.
Rene F.
Almost immediately after the session, I noticed I was glowing, radiating an energy I hadn't felt in a long time. In the days that followed, I picked up painting again, something I hadn't done since winter. What surprised me most was how immediate and lasting those shifts were.
Olivia B.
I left with a profound sense of relaxation and a clarity and order in my thoughts. I was impressed by the precision of the work. She focused on the areas that are persistent issues in my life: not the most severe ones, but the ones that had quietly stayed the longest. It's a powerful way to connect mind and body. Her work reminded me that my body is literally my life story and what it feels like to listen to it.
