Private Bodywork & Retreat Experiences for Women
Some days you just need someone skilled to work on your body.
Some days you need to disappear into the hills for a few hours and remember who you are.
Essential Elevations offers both.
Two Ways to Be Cared For
Massage in Jackson, CA
Therapeutic bodywork through Global Healing Arts
When you need steady, skilled, ongoing support — without the retreat.
Private therapeutic massage for prenatal and postpartum care, senior wellness, chronic tension, stress, and nervous system support. Practical care you can come back to.
Retreat in Volcano, CA
Private sanctuary on seven wooded acres
When you need more than a massage.
When you need time, space, skilled touch, and no agenda.
The Volcano sanctuary is a private, bodywork-forward retreat space for women , best friends and couples — who are ready to actually rest.
Choose from a 90-minute integrated ritual, a three-hour reset, or a full overnight sanctuary experience.
Solo, duo, couples, or small group.
No crowds. No performance. No rushing back into life mid-exhale.
About Brandy LaRae
I’ve spent decades supporting women through birth, loss, burnout, reinvention, and everything in between.
I built Essential Elevations because women are very good at holding everything together — and rarely get held long enough for it to matter.
Text me anytime — even at 3am.

Who Finds Their Way Here
Women carrying more than they should.
Women whose bodies are asking for something they can’t quite name.
Women moving through a change — big or quiet — and needing somewhere soft to land.
Women growing a new life, or tending to a body that has lived a long one.
Women who just haven’t stopped in too long.
You don’t have to have the words for it. You just have to reach out.
You are in transition.
Essential Elevations offers private retreat experiences for women navigating change.
These are intentionally guided, bodywork-forward retreats held on seven wooded acres in Volcano, California.
Unhurried.
Supportive.
Deeply personal.
A Private Retreat for Women in Transition
This is not a resort spa.
This is a quiet, private retreat designed to help your nervous system settle and your body feel safe again.
Women come here when they are:
- navigating perimenopause or menopause
- recovering from burnout
- moving through divorce or reinvention
- experiencing caregiver fatigue
- adjusting to pregnancy or postpartum changes
- feeling the quiet pull of “what now?”
If you’re ready to receive nurturing care and the space to discover your bodies wisdom , sending me a text is the fastest way to begin. Even if it’s midnight or 6am..
