Need support on your gender journey? Our newly formed non profit, the T house, was founded to help pay for services for trans identified individuals needing extra financial help due to job loss, income restrictions, unemployment and underemployment. Have some extra and want to support an incredible cause? We are seeking regular and one time donations to cover all or part of the cost of gender affirming beauty and wellness services. Please consider donating to support gender affirming care today!

    Bettie is a mom of a trans daughter, a pansexual son, and a queer daughter. Bettie has over 20 years in the beauty industry, as a stylist and educator. She works behind the chair as a master stylist and offers one on one image consulting services, including hair lessons, makeup lessons and personal styling/wardrobe curation.

    Bettie tailors each style to the person who will be wearing it, and her goal is for you to leave your appointments feeling seen, empowered and euphoric. In her free time, Bettie loves to travel, and spend time with her family and friends, entertaining in her home, or back yard that she lovingly designed with the help of her incredible partner.

  • He/They Theo whole heartedly believes that our bodies hold the power to heal themselves, with a little guidance in the right direction. An alum of East West College of the Healing Arts, he has always been passionate about the art of somatic healing. Through their work as a first responder and long term homecare, Theo developed a practice centered on intuitive touch and creating a healing environment, specifically for queer bodies. Theo intentionally works to create a safe, comfortable space for his clients so they don’t have to mask. He believes that healing becomes available to the body when we are open and embracing of our authentic selves.

    Receiving a massage from Theo is a truly relaxing experience. They bring myofacial, swedish, neuromuscular and craniosacral techniques to their intentional practice; and tailor their approach to their clients individual body needs. Theo’s intention is to create a mind-body connection through his work, allowing clients release from the shapes our bodies are forced to hold space in, and embracing what feels good.

    When Theo isn’t healing the world, they love to spend time in community, and they balance the weight of their work with a healthy dose of silly!
