A return to the body.
Integrative bodywork rooted in listening, touch, and seasonal care.
Charlottesville, Virginia
Bodywork centered around the nervous system, the abdomen, fertility, menopause, digestion, recovery, and deep rest.
Care for seasons of change, tenderness, and return.
Women’s care is woven throughout the practice, with particular attention to the changing body from menstruation and fertility through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause. Maya Abdominal Therapy forms an important part of this work, offering a way to tend to the abdomen, pelvis, and whole body through times of change.

Our Story
Founded by Mochani Devi, East Flora is rooted in a lifelong immersion in healing, bringing together bodywork, traditional healing arts, botanical care, and ritual. The practice encompasses personalized bodywork, seasonal treatments, botanical preparations, and ceremonial healing experiences, shaped by the body, the natural world, and the seasons.
Sometimes the body tells you exactly what it needs. Sometimes it doesn't.
You may arrive with a headache, a tight belly, a restless night, a body that feels heavy, or simply the feeling that something is off. You don't need to know what will help. We'll begin there, listen together, and let the treatment take shape.
Come as you are.
You don't need to know which kind of bodywork you need. We'll begin with a conversation, a cup of tea, and a little time to arrive.
“I trust Mochani's insight and guidance wholeheartedly. There are not many authentic healers left in this world.”
— Hope
“Mochani has a rare gift… attending not only to the nervous system, but also the spirit.”
— Megan
