When was the last time someone took care of you?

Come rest. Be held. Leave different.

your body is tired in ways sleep doesn’t fix.

If you’ve been holding everything together for everyone else.

If you can’t remember the last time someone took care of you.

You don’t need a vacation. 

You need a few hours — or a whole night — where you don’t have to be anything for anyone.

Essential Elevations is a private, bodywork-forward sanctuary on seven wooded acres in Volcano, California.

Small by design.

Quiet on purpose.

Created for solo guests, close friends, and couples to relax and reconnect.

Need steady, ongoing bodywork support?

Brandy also sees massage clients Monday through Thursday at Global Healing Arts in Jackson — a therapeutic practice rooted in 30 years of hands-on experience.

Specializing in prenatal and postpartum care, senior wellness, chronic tension, and nervous system support.

Brandy LaRae has spent 30 years learning how to help bodies feel safe enough to let go.

Her work is gentle, skilled, and unhurried — whether you’re coming in for a focused session in Jackson or a full retreat day in Volcano.
