Carla Gaskins-Nathan, Licensed Massage Therapist Pronouns: She/her/they/them
Rooted Bodywork Is the private massage therapy practice of Carla Gaskins-Nathan, LMT.
Hi, I am founder and CEO Carla Gaskins-Nathan, LMT, CMLMT (she/they) of Rooted Bodywork based in New York City. As a wellness consultant, ritualist, and healing artist I bring over 25+ years of professional experience at the intersection of health and social justice. And for over 13 years I have focused my healing practice as a New York State Licensed massage therapist, a certified Manual Lymph Drainage Therapist, and reiki practitioner on holding space in sessions with individuals and with groups that affirm sacredness of our beings.
For 11 years I have been a co-teacher for MaMassage®, where I have provided Prenatal, Labor and Postpartum Massage Therapy Continuing Education training for hundreds of students.
I bring a lifelong commitment to social justice and liberation that began through volunteering and organizing in my youth. My personal and professional experiences have a common thread connected to health, wellness and wellbeing.
I served as a faculty and a clinical supervisor at the Pacific College of Health Sciences in New York, in the Massage Therapy Program. I integrate my background in education, curriculum development, course design, and in-person and online instruction into my consulting work.
I take a holistic approach that honors ancestor knowledge and combines evidence-based practices with innovative wellness strategies to create transformative experiences for clients.
