Meet Your Massage Therapist
Erin Verdonik, LMT
Hi there!
I’m Erin, founder of Black Lotus Therapeutics.
I help women and gender-expansive folks feel more at home in their bodies- especially during seasons of stress, hormonal shifts, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. Here, you get to receive skilled, thoughtful care that supports your body in the ways it truly needs.
This practice was born from witnessing so many people feeling unseen, dismissed, or unsupported-especially during pregnancy, postpartum, or while navigating reproductive or chronic conditions. I’ve dedicated myself to deepening my knowledge and skills so I can offer the kind of care that’s so often missing: intentional, informed massage therapy that supports your whole being.
I’m not the kind of therapist that uses aggressive techniques or rushes through a routine. I move slowly on purpose because your body deserves time and attention to unwind. My clients usually feel calmer, more grounded, and more like themselves after a session. That’s what this work is really about for me: helping you come back to yourself in a way that feels kind and deeply supportive.
Outside of the treatment room, I’m a proud dog mom to a goofy rescue pup, Cleo, a lover of tattoos, and fully committed to cozy sweaters and seasonal candles. I’m at my happiest during spooky season-whether I’m wandering along a ghost tour, reading up on witchy folklore, or just leaning into a little everyday magic. My approach to life (and bodywork) blends the practical with the mystical in perfect balance: grounded, intuitive, and always with a touch of curiosity and humor.
