circumference is the private practice of me, aria boutet! I’m a licensed massage therapist, certified sexological bodyworker, & fellow imperfect human. I bring a commitment to liberatory politics & years of ongoing study + lived experience around trauma, community mental health, reproductive justice, & bodywork to my evolving practice.

The core of my work is in supporting others in coming home to their own bodies & their own sense of aliveness. I aim to reduce unnecessary pain (from injury, chronic tension, or past/ongoing trauma), & to facilitate greater self sovereignty & access to feeling. I have particular experience & interest in working with queer folks, pregnancy & postpartum (former full spectrum doula here!), current & former sex workers, activists, cultural workers & survivors of sexual trauma.

Pleasure is both a birthright & a crucial source of sustenance. And connection - to self, other, & the more than human world) is how we grow. These are the primary tools that I use as a practitioner seeking to create conditions for change. I think this simple work is a balm that we need in this time & a source of power that we can grow (together).
