Our Team
Hakim Noah, LMT
Hakim grew up in Leverett, Massachusetts. He has explored many beautiful places around the world but kept coming back to the valley and the hills that raised him. Hakim has a deep attunement to the Earth and especially the fungal kingdom. His coaching work is centered around bringing this way of Being and Seeing to others, so we can experience ourselves as part of the One consciousness that lives in all.
Hakim has seven years of experience working with many different body types and individual needs. More than just “a massage,” bodywork with Hakim is an opportunity to be held with love and without judgement. Hakim sees the body through a fascial lens — as an interconnected system in which no part is separate from the whole. He also believes that no symptom is purely physical, and true healing happens when we address the spiritual and emotional root of our dis-ease. His style blends deep tissue and myofascial release, but transcends both to create something truly unique. You can expect to experience long, slow strokes and holds, gentle rocking, plenty of face and head work, and attention to your specific needs. Many sessions end with the crystal sound bowls and/or tuning forks which live in our office.
Through bodywork and Foundation Training, Hakim seeks to help his clients decompress the body by working with the fascia — the mycelium-like web which flows through and wraps around all the muscles, organs, and structures of the body.
In his free time Hakim can be found playing accordion, rock climbing, ice-bathing, hiking, and foraging for mushrooms.

Igor Rivers, LMT
Isabella Kent is a massage therapist licensed in Massachusetts and New York.
Isabella graduated from Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy in 2024, but has been practicing bodywork since 2016. Coming from a family of chiropractors, acupuncturists, and massage therapists, holistic medicine has always been at the forefront of her life.
After dealing with chronic pain in her early teens, she found much relief from chakra based energy work and began offering reiki to her surrounding community. From there, her love of helping and healing only grew.
In 2020, she attended Blazing Star Herbal Academy, further deepening her already immense love and connection to the earth. In 2021, Isabella received comprehensive training in pranayama and guided meditation through Anan Mathur, disciple of Mooji. After solely offering energy work for a number of years, this led to a desire to heal the physical body as well, which was the catalyst of becoming a massage therapist. Since graduating, Isabella has also trained in CranioSacral therapy and is certified in CST-1 through the Upledger Association.
All of these modalities have become integrated into her healing sessions, resulting in bodywork that is intentional, client based, and sacred. Every massage Isabella performs is different and completely based off of what each specific client is needing.
Overall, Isabella’s main goal is to assist in removing physical and energetic blockages from her clients body to allow their own highest self to be able to enter their body comfortably. This includes myofascial work, deep tissue work, and techniques specific to the calming of the nervous system.
Outside of her work, Isabella is proud to be an aunt, a dog mom, a fierce friend, and a devoted disciple of Kali Ma.
