Join us for an episode of On The Couch as we host Danyelle Mei Kaplan (they/them) and Egan Magee (he/him) to talk about relationships and well being from the angle of collective holding, mutual aid and community.

Egan provides remedial massage at  Every Body Massage for queer and/or trans people, people with disability and chronic illness, survivors of trauma and those living with chronic pain. His work space is trauma informed, body neutral and caring.
