Your Practitioner

The hands behind the work.

I’m Mochani. I came to bodywork the way many people come to my table: looking for a place to finally exhale. Over many years, I’ve gathered a set of practices that listen to the body instead of rushing it. These include Maya abdominal therapy, Shiatsu, Ayurvedic bodywork and herbalism, craniosacral therapy, stone medicine, and Reiki. My sessions hold room for all of you, with work that is nurturing and embracing, and at times deeply transformative.

East Flora is the quiet place I wished existed: somewhere to slow down, be cared for, and come home to yourself.

“To be held in stillness is one of the oldest medicines we know.”

Mochani Devi

Kind words

“When I came out, I felt refreshed and energized. My thoughts were much clearer and less scattered. I slept well that night.”
Scott G.
“To anyone who has not experienced a healing session from Mochani, I’m here to tell you that this is one gifted soul. Her healing process created waves of energy within me and I felt amazing afterwards.”
Andrea
“Her work goes beyond just energy work; she attends not only to your nervous system, but also your spirit. Her sessions release stagnant energy and allow deep calm.”
Megan
“Her work has always helped improve a range of different symptoms. Her work is gentle, compassionate, and effective.”
John T.
“In the days following, I felt a noticeable shift. I felt lighter, more joyful, and less stressed.”
Laura D.
“Mochani has a deeply warm presence. If you are unsure of where to start on this journey, you’ve found the right place.”
Hope
“She meets you exactly where you are, honors individual experiences, and creates a space where you feel seen and supported throughout the process.”
Jenn B.
