About Me

Hello South Bay: I’m Lance Kidwell

Owner & Licensed Massage Therapist at Liminal Embrace

 

Here’s what I help people with:

• Chronic muscle tension and pain
• Stress-related tightness and burnout
• Nervous system overload and poor recovery
• Feeling emotionally stuck despite insight or talk-based approaches

• Limited mobility and repetitive-use strain
• Athletic training fatigue and injury prevention

Here’s my training and background:
• Licensed Massage Therapist (CA)
• Deep tissue and sports massage
• Somatic bodywork and breath-guided techniques
• Nervous system regulation approaches
• Consent-based training for clear communication and client control

Here’s how I work:
• Slow, intentional deep work focused on precision, not force
• Presence over pressure for safer, longer-lasting relief
• Sessions paced to support nervous system regulation
• Collaborative sessions where feedback and boundaries are respected

My philosophy:
• Lasting change comes from consistency, not one-off fixes
• The body adapts when it feels safe enough to let go
• Relief should improve how you move, recover, and handle daily stress

Here’s what to do next:
• Review services and pricing above
• Call or text to check availability or ask questions
• We’ll confirm scheduling and collect a deposit to reserve your session

Pain is Sacred

liminal4 (1).jpeg

Pain is not a punishment; it is the echo of our own resistance to truth. It is a teacher wrapped in shadow, a divine whisper calling you home. In my practice, I do not fight pain. I honor it. I cradle it. I invite it to speak. And when its voice is heard, it transforms into wisdom, dissolving into peace.

Through intuitive bodywork, energy healing, ecstatic dance, and shamanic rituals, I guide you on a journey of self-reunion. Whether you come with physical tension, emotional grief, or spiritual disconnection, I will walk beside you as you shed what no longer serves and step into your authentic power.

 

If you are ready to surrender, to embrace your shadows, and to rise into the fullness of your being, I invite you to join me. Together, we will weave the threads of your pain into a tapestry of transformation.

Your wholeness is waiting.

Testimonials

Best massages ever! Lance is intuitive, calm, kind, and an absolutely amazing massage therapist and body worker. He has help relieve some long term issues locked in my body, leaving me so relaxed and refreshed both physically and emotionally. Thank you Lance. You are truly gifted!

Mary Dugan

Lance is absolutely an amazing healer. Getting a massage from him is like a warm hug. One of the things that makes him so special is that before we even go into the massage, he sits with you. Talks about the emotional state you’re in. This helps to get to the root of the pain. I’ve learned from reading about dis-ease in the body by Louise Haye that much of the body’s discomfort and pain are caused by emotional stresses. Lance gets it. After a session with him, I feel lighter not just physically but emotionally. This enabled my pain relief to last longer. If I could, I would get a massage from him every week.

Sarah McIntosh

I have now had two sessions with Lance. His massages are amazingly intuitive and he has this ability to release somatic blockages like no other body work I've had done. It's like a combination of Reiki and deep tissue, trauma-informed work that releases whatever blockages that are in your body. I felt healed, relaxed, rejuvenated and whole afterwards. I will be seeing him again and again, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone needing work like this.
