Mary Wood DeSousa, LMT & NT

Whole body care, executed with purpose and compassion.

My mission in bodywork is to help fix problems and help you move better! Through intuitive analysis and a combination of techniques, I aim to personalize each body treatment to your exact needs. Through Deep Tissue, Myofacial, Swedish, Cupping and Stretching modalities, I will help you live in your body with more ease and less pain as early as our first session. I will work with you to create a unique session plan to address problem areas and increase your range of motion.

Nail care is a basic human right. My grandmother showed me that.

My grandma Frances was an exceptional woman, but she needed help. A child of the depression who fastidiously took care of herself, she found herself in a bind. The assisted living home she ended up in wasn’t taking care of her hands and feet the way they needed, and I was her next line of help. She was my first client, and the first one to show me how important nail care is, especially as we age. I bring a level of dignity to nail care, as I am here to help, not to judge.

Frances loved herbs, teas, and all things holistic wellness. It is in this that I carry on with my apothecary, rooted in long practiced traditions of herbal wellness. Whether it is a self care ritual, massage or a nail appointment, wellness and care are waiting to come to your door.

So excited to meet you!

KNOT alchemy

…not your average apothecary.

We have made it our mission to use Organic, Sustainable, Allergy friendly, Recyclable and/or Compostable, Therapeutic Grade ingredients in ALL of our products. If a product in the shop doesn’t reflect this, I will make a note of it in the subtext. Currently, there aren’t any. Our earth is important to me, and I believe in reflecting that in my business model.

I use herbalism, naturopathy, and ancient traditions to inform my products. All are tested on myself and other humans, and are assured to be free of Peanut, Tree Nut, Soy, Dairy, Gluten, and Filler.

Let’s treat our skin the way it needs to be treated…

simply.

organic.

holistic.
