What you'll do
One booking = two people. Restorative Contact is a mindfulness and empathy practice that helps us to be present in the moment, in our bodies, and with the important people in our lives, including ourselves.
You’ll work with your IRL partner (don’t have one? See below) as I guide you through a floor-based sequence of touch and weight-sharing, where we slow down, invite stillness and allow the body to rest. Deep relaxation helps with anxiety, insomnia, digestion, fertility and high blood pressure. Touch boosts dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin, the hormones associated with making people feel good, and lowers cortisol levels which are associated with stress. The most popular feedback is that participants leave feeling relaxed and connected. Check out the reviews below.
For corporate groups, team-building, or other private groups I can offer an adapted practice (no IRL partner needed!) to de-stress and deepen trust and connection between individuals at a distance. Expect gentle movement to increase body-awareness plus group and partner activities to foster bonding. And if you want to throw in a bit of fun cardio, my pro-dancer self will gladly assist :)
Class is strictly non-sexual so while it's great for couples it's open to everyone (friends, family, coworkers) who believes that more care and connection is a positive thing for all.
Contact me for additional dates/times.

What to bring
- If you are doing the drop-in practice you will need an IRL partner. *A reservation is per pair so you only need to book 1 spot for you and your partner.* If you are noticing a big price jump it's because I just changed to 1/couple as opposed to 1/personIf you are doing the drop-in practice you will need an IRL partner. *A reservation is per pair so you only need to book 1 spot for you and y…
- I recommend wearing loose, soft or otherwise comfortable clothing. Layers are good in case you get warm or cold.
- Make sure you have a padded, clean, and clutter free space (about 7'x7'). A cosy rug is ideal but foam mats or a soft blanket should also be fine.
- No props are required but you may want to have a blanket or a couple of pillows nearby just in case.
- Create the space you want to be in. How is the lighting? It does not need to be silent but relatively quiet is helpful.

I am the creator of Restorative Contact. I developed this form by synthesizing key elements of various somatic techniques including Contact Improvisation, Restorative Yoga, Tai Chi, Klein Technique, Authentic Movement, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and Deep Listening over my 18+ years as a professional dancer, choreographer and movement educator.
I love movement and play and I've also come to deeply appreciate the value of slowing down, noticing, being, and connecting. If you want to know more about some of my artistic project check out GabrielleRevlock.com or just ask :).
Update: I've added a new offering to Airbnb, Joytime dance improvisation, https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/2250043

Gabrielle’s experience on restorative contact is a special and intimate way to reconnect to intentional touch and movement using different body parts of my own body some with my partner. In this time and era where technology is at the fore front of our world’s daily lives- some of our sense could be out of touch from where it can come from. Touch is one of the vital sense that could be restored in order to develop our entire body connectivity. Gabrielle’s experience does exactly that by helping her clients notice the act of physical contact and touch again. I recommend this to anyone who is looking to restore their sense with physical touch. Thank you for the gentle, safe and present experience to explore & play.

My partner and I loved this experience! Gabby and Dave were friendly and made us feel so comfortable. The exercise was playful, vulnerable and connecting in a way that left us both feeling closer to one another. Thank you for helping make our experience meaningful. We left the session with a feeling of fullness and love for one another. Highly recommend!

We booked this as a group of 2 couples and what a wonderful, grounding and restorative experience it was! Highly recommend for a moment (actually an hour and a half!) of peace and an opportunity to connect with loved ones in a different, meaningful way.

Our first-ever Airbnb experience was restorative touch with Gabrielle. We planned it as a virtual double-date with my best friend and her husband in Seattle and it was such a treat. I would encourage anyone considering to book Gabrielle, to definitely do so and ask any questions along the way.
