Aera Barnette, LMT & Health Coach
(Soon to be NBHAWC certified)
MA60668404, Intra-Oral Certified
Hello, my name is Aera (they/them)! I’ve been a massage therapist in Seattle since 2016, and my practice has always been drawn toward helping people with complex, chronic conditions—like EDS, MCAS, and those who are neurodivergent or immunocompromised.
Over the years, I realized that while massage is a powerful tool for calming the nervous system and managing pain, my clients often needed more to navigate the full picture of their health. This led me to integrate health coaching into my work in 2022. Now, I see my role as a partner and a guide. I help you connect the dots between different aspects of your well-being, and supporting you in taking the steps necessary to reach your health goals. My approach is rooted in consent, collaboration, and a deep belief that you are the expert on your own body. I’m here to help you find your way to a more stable, manageable place—what I like to think of as your “better baseline.”
When I am not supporting my clients, I am participating in mutual aid, writing, and enjoying the peaceful quiet of my home.
