Montana Walworth is a healer!! I am so grateful for our sessions together, and each time I walk out, I feel calm, nurtured, loved, and received. Montana has a true gift for this type of work and a presence which in and of itself is so deeply healing. I find my nervous system starting to calm within minutes of our sessions. I feel safe, supported and seen (not an easy trio for me!). Montana's beautiful energy, soft spirit, and deep commitment to their clients makes them a truly special practitioner, and I feel immensely blessed to be a recipient of their gifts :) If you want to work with someone who truly cares about your wellbeing, will hear you out with a compassionate ear, and work their magic with touch, I highly, highly recommend Montana!

I first encountered Montana at a Community Bodywork Day and was immediately struck by the way they process energy, which I had only experienced once before from a very powerful shaman in Mexico. The work was subtle, yet profound and it made an impression on me. As I travel often, I wasn’t able to return straight away, but there is an absolutely magical and synchronistic way we re-connected a year later. Since then we have had a number of sessions and each time I trust them to do as they are guided, pulling from the wide range of modalities they possess - each time is truly unique and just right. I have been involved in the spiritual and healing realms for well over 30 years, as both practitioner and receiver, and have had many sessions all over the world - Montana is a gifted healer whose heart, hands & instincts will unfurl your physical and emotional states into greater alignment with the self and allow you to be grounded, present and open as you make your way in this wild, wild world. ❤️

My craniosacral session with Montana was a completely illuminating and transformative experience. I arrived in state of entrenched depression with some physically tender areas related to a recent accident. Montana's intake framework grounded the process and gave me space to establish my own boundaries and gain a strong sense of trust. Having never experienced craniosacral therapy before, I was struck by how much our session allowed me to tune into subtle body sensations and rhythms, connecting me to my own capacity for healing. The mental attack loops dissolved and things felt much more pleasurably connected inside and out. I continue to sense the benefits of my session weeks after. Montana emanates an intensely sensitive and grounded presence; their skillful capacity is undeniable.

Craniosacral with Montana was life-changing! I didn't know what to expect because it was my first craniosacral experience of any kind. It was so wonderfully and surprisingly intense--from the first hold that Montana did on my ankles, which radiated through my whole body. I felt the rhythm/pulse of my craniosacral fluid, without knowing what it was, and the whole session I was dipping in and out of a humming consciousness. The effects were so strong that after they left, I continued to feel like I was on a boat in the ocean until I fell asleep. For days, after, my nervous system felt different. Truly magical, I cannot recommend them highly enough <3

I’m so grateful for all the healing that I’ve received from Montana’s sessions. As someone with chronic health issues, whenever I have been in an acute flare up, such as a pain, viral, or anaphylactic flare up, I have turned to Montana for help. Most of these emergency sessions have been remote. And I can always feel when he starts to work on me because whatever the symptoms are, they almost always start to immediately recede. It feels like magic and has been such a miracle in my life.
Montana has an immense gift at tapping into my energy field and holding space for my body to heal. Through them, I have learned about and gotten to experience so many different healing modalities. I’ve gotten to practice consent around my body and receive healthy touch in a safe context. I’ve experienced stuck energy and trauma being released from system. And I’ve learned to trust my body as as it moves through various states of healing and releasing. Through Montana I’ve been inspired to further explore my own healing practice and to hold space for others to heal in similar ways. I believe that we all need this healing and I’m so blessed to be able to receive such care and support and also learn from them in so many ways. They are also an incredibly gifted emotional space holder, and weave together the physical and emotional aspects of healing. Montana is humble and willing and eager to learn how he can best support his clients and is constantly expanding his knowledge. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Montana’s approach to facilitating the modalities is rooted in a respect for the innate wisdom of all. They emphasized that our bodies know how to bring us back in harmony, and just need that space to be witnessed. Montana provided such a safe and brave space to share where I was landing before each session— and always welcomed space to share if anything felt uncomfortable. The sessions I’ve had with them have been immensely impactful on my wellness—it all has felt like a homecoming. And Montana shows up with a loving presence that allows me to unwind and move energies through my body. Their integration of several modalities is brilliant in nurturing the emotional, physical, and spiritual bodies.

Montana is so welcoming and thorough. As I was undergoing some herbal treatment for gut issues, I saw montana for ongoing support. When they did reiki and Craniosacral, it jumpstarted a process of expelling a tapeworm I didn’t even know I had! It was astonishing. When I’ve gotten bodywork with them, I always feels so much better, too. They are highly attuned to my body and emotions. I can’t recommend them enough!

Montana is skilled and gifted in bodywork. They listen attentively and tailor each session based on how you are feeling. Their work has been incredibly healing for me. Montana creates a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment for their clients to be present in their body. Montana’s care, attention and investment in your well-being is unlike anything I have experienced previously. I’ve sent many friends to Montana and we all look forward to our sessions with them!

Montanas ability to find the chorus in the energy channels helped me feel safe enough to truly let the integration happen. His approach to listening to the body was felt from the first session on and the chance to work with them after an extremely difficult life transition helped me breathe into myself again. They bring grace, understanding, and a grounded gentleness to the practice everybody can feel seen in. Thank you Montana for being apart of my healing journey and helping me move through the trauma.

I really appreciated Montana's experience with non-cis-normative bodies. Knowing this helped me access trust with them more easily. I felt the effects of this trust and ease throughout the remainder of my day! Highly recommend for folks interested in meeting needs for touch with platonic massage, folks looking to build sensory distress tolerance in a safe environment, folks who believe in seeing a world with more public care.

Their energy is so calming and inviting. I felt safe comfortable with them. I walked out of the session feeling strong and empowered. I felt the energy flowing through my body, I could feel my actual thoughts bursting through my inner critical parent.
-Taylor Bernal

I felt so at ease with Montana's presence and touch. It all allowed me to really surrender to the present, to open myself up mentally and allow some forms of release l've never been able to tap into before. Thank you Montana for paving that space for me. I definitely felt lighter and more grounded in and with my body. More calm and gentle w myself and generally more present.
