Swedish & relaxation
Long, flowing strokes to quiet the nervous system. The baseline of almost every session — permission to fully exhale.

Meet Lance
Hi, I’m Lance — and
Hi, I’m Lance — and
you’re welcome here.
I’m a transgender massage therapist in Albuquerque, and I built this practice for people like me: queer and trans folks who deserve bodywork that feels safe, not braced-for.
So much of being trans is having a complicated relationship with your own body. My work is gentle, never clinical, and starts with one promise — I meet you exactly as you are, no questions you didn’t ask for, no assumptions about what your body is or what it needs. You set the pace. You stay in charge.
I don’t lock into a single technique, because no two bodies are the same. I draw from many modalities and shape each session around the person on the table.

The work
One body. Many ways
One body. Many ways
to care for it.
I don’t specialize in a single technique — that’s the point. Every session is built from the modalities your body actually needs that day, blended into one continuous, unhurried hour.
Deep tissue & focused
For the spots that hold on — shoulders, low back, binding-tired chests and necks. As much pressure as you want, never more.
Gender-affirming care
Gentle, informed work around post-surgical recovery and binding strain — always at your direction, always with consent checked along the way.
Myofascial & stretch
Slow, sustained release for the connective tissue that holds tension long after a hard week — restoring room to move and breathe.
Trigger point
Precise attention to the knots that refer pain elsewhere — finding the actual source instead of chasing the ache.
Grounding & presence
Breath, stillness, and slow re-entry — for clients whose bodies need to remember they’re allowed to feel safe.
Not sure what you need? That’s normal. We talk first, and I build the session from there — no menu to decode, no pressure to perform.
You don’t have to earn rest, or explain your body to get it.

What it feels like to
What it feels like to
be met with care.
First massage in my life where I didn’t spend the whole hour bracing. Lance just… got it. I actually relaxed.
No weird questions, no flinching, no explaining myself. Just steady, kind hands. I left feeling like a person again.
I came in tense about being trans in a massage room. I left already booking the next one. This is the safe place I needed.
