About Zachary

I come to massage from a many splintered path. While no direct line can be drawn, perhaps a semblance of sense can be made from the various twists and turns, retreats and returns in my life. The clearest route I can pull apart with direct hindsight is finding my way to New York City from the west coast, striking out to be an actor. Once arrived I found a passion for physical theatre. Exploring dance and movement as a means of telling story. Discovering elements of eccentric expression from within the very cells of my familiar shape. Was that always there within me? The body began to become a space of wonder for me.

This led me to Chiang Mai to learn Thai massage, a modality of massage that utilizes acupressure and assisted yoga poses and stretches. There I also discovered a love for contact improv. An improvised dance where one body shapes and forms around and/with another, listening and flowing together as one.

Transitioning to my massage school training, I learned more specific and traditional strokes and techniques, shrinking the dance down to the fingers, the hands, and the arms, but never losing the flow. While the dance is diminished in size and shape there is still a conversation being had between bodies. A story that is told. One that requires intuitive presence and listening.

Many paths converging into one moment and body.
