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.
The Signature
Rather than choosing from a menu of modalities, you simply choose the amount of time you’d like to receive.
Sessions may draw from Maya abdominal therapy, craniosacral work, Reiki, lymphatic care, warm oils, stones, earthen muds and clays, and seasonally inspired therapies, woven together in response to what your body needs that day.
Sessions begin slowly, with tea, grounding, and time to settle before treatment begins.
Available in 60, 90, and 120 minute sessions.

Our Ever-changing Body
Reproductive and maternal care is woven throughout the practice, with particular attention to the body through its many seasons from menstruation and fertility through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause and beyond. 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.

A few ways to be tended to
Japanese Bodywork · Ampuku · Reiki · Seasonal Ritual
A relaxing Japanese bodywork experience that changes with the turning of the year and follows the same principles as acupuncture. Shiatsu works along the body's energy pathways encouraging the smooth flow of Ki, or vital energy.
90 minutes
The Seasonal
Lymphatic Care · Castor Oil · Hot & Cold Stones
A deeply restorative treatment combining lymphatic support, dry brushing, warm and cool stones, and full-body castor oil packing. The work is rhythmic and substantial, encouraging movement through the body while heat, cooling, stone, and touch create a profound sense of release and renewal.

The River
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.
Our Story
Founded by Mochani Devi, East Flora is rooted in a lifelong immersion in healing, bringing together bodywork and traditional healing arts. The practice encompasses personalized bodywork, seasonal treatments, botanical preparations, and healing experiences, shaped by the body, the natural world, and the seasons.
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
