Luigi Continenza, LMT, is a bodyworker, CE facilitator, gender-support coach and consultant for LGBTQI+ allies based out of Tacoma WA.  My focus over the last decade in private practice has been serving transgender, gender-diverse and intersectional communities and empowering other healthcare practitioners with the tools needed to create more inclusivity in their practices to serve the same populations.  Through a lifetime of lived experience as a trans & nonbinary person and over a decade of professional experience in education and private practice, I am excited to guide you through this transformative training to elevate your bodywork practice with the addition of gender-affirming care. www.elementalrootsbodywork.com

Thanks for stepping into this much needed work!

Now more than ever with the current political climate aggressively passing laws attempting to infringe on the human rights of transgender people, these communities are in need of support from practitioners who can hold a compassionate container for care. One positive interaction with an informed provider can be hugely impactful and create profound change.
