Tallas Sandy is a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist and Forest Therapy Guide based in Esopus, NY, serving the Mid-Hudson Valley.

Offering therapeutic massage, nervous system–focused bodywork, and guided forest therapy sessions for individuals seeking relief from chronic tension, stress, and physical restriction.

I do this work because I understand what it’s like to live with chronic holding in the body — tension that builds slowly and becomes familiar. Feeling ungrounded, restricted, or out of rhythm with yourself.

Through years of personal experience and hands-on work, I’ve seen how slowing down — with intention, touch, and time in nature — allows long-held patterns to soften. This work is especially supportive for people who use their bodies hard and whose work demands constant output.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected from their bodies, or tired of pushing through. My role is to offer a steady container where the body can release, reorganize, and find more ease and presence.
