About Holly Ledbetter
I am a trans massage therapist based in Brooklyn, NY. In my practice, True Bearing Bodywork, I specialize in working with clients who want to feel more at ease through discomfort or change - trans folks, prenatal, chronic pain, and end of life. Through massage, I help clients feel more at ease in their bodies so they can move, rest, and grow as their truest selves. My gender-affirming work is based in a well-informed practice of not making assumptions. My 20+ years as a dancer, as well as my history with chronic pain, informs my knowledge of shifting bodies—how they move and how they heal.

60-Minute Reiki Session
$119.30
60-minute session for the whole body or focus areas. Reiki can be practiced hands on or with hands just off the body for folks looking for a modality that does not include touch. Energy is exchanged between practitioner and client through still holding. Clients might feel warmth or energetic shifts throughout the body. Feels like a gentle warm hug with lots of space for breath and release.
