Meet Easter Bonnifield, LMT
With more than 20 years of professional bodywork experience, Easter brings a deeply integrative and individualized approach to massage and therapeutic bodywork.
Rather than following a predetermined routine, Easter begins with how you are feeling and functioning that day. Sessions may focus on persistent muscular tension, restricted movement, stress, nervous system overload, or simply creating the space your body needs to rest and reset.
Her approach is especially well suited to clients who appreciate thoughtful, attentive bodywork and those who may benefit from exploring gentler therapeutic techniques in addition to traditional muscular massage.
CranioSacral Therapy & Integrative Bodywork
A primary focus of Easter’s practice is CranioSacral Therapy (CST), a gentle hands-on approach used to address areas of tension and restriction while supporting relaxation and ease throughout the body.
She also offers SomatoEmotional Release (SER) as part of her CranioSacral work when appropriate. SER combines gentle hands-on techniques with client participation and therapeutic dialogue. Clients may be invited to notice and explore sensations, thoughts, emotions, or imagery that arise during a session, allowing the work to unfold at an individualized and comfortable pace.
For clients seeking more traditional muscular work, Easter integrates therapeutic massage, deep tissue techniques, trigger point therapy, and other approaches based on each person’s needs and preferences.
Her sessions may also incorporate Polarity Therapy and principles from Āyurveda. Her experience with Marma Therapy, a traditional Ayurvedic approach using specific points throughout the body, adds another dimension to her integrative style of care.
A Unique Background in Healthcare & Āyurveda
Easter’s perspective has been shaped by an unusual combination of hands-on bodywork, healthcare, therapeutic movement, and traditional Ayurvedic education.
She spent seven years working in a hospital emergency department, advancing from Patient Care Technician to Unit Coordinator and working alongside physicians and multidisciplinary healthcare teams.
For more than a decade, she also held clinical and educational roles at The Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, where her work included Panchakarma therapies, clinical student education, and development of therapeutic yoga programming.
Easter has taught therapeutic yoga and breathwork for nearly two decades in the United States and United Kingdom, experience that continues to influence the way she observes movement, breathing, nervous system patterns, and the connection between different areas of the body.
She also maintained her own independent practice for 17 years and has worked in both established spa and retreat settings.
Personalized Care That Evolves With You
Easter believes meaningful bodywork starts by listening—to the client and to what their body is presenting that day.
Some clients may come to her for focused therapeutic work, while others are looking for a quieter, restorative session. Over time, sessions can evolve as the body changes, making her approach particularly valuable for clients interested in ongoing integrative care rather than a one-size-fits-all massage.
Whether your goal is greater comfort, easier movement, relief from persistent tension, nervous system relaxation, or simply feeling more at home in your body, Easter will meet you where you are.
Vital Living is excited to welcome Easter to our Northeast (Leo) team on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
