If you’ve ever walked out of a massage feeling like you could curl up for a nap, you’re definitely not alone. One of the most common things clients tell me after their session is, “I haven’t felt this relaxed in weeks.” That feeling is not just in your head. Massage can be a wonderful way […]

By popular demand, I’ve expanded my schedule and am once again offering evening appointments. My office is now open from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., making it easier to fit massage into your workday and busy schedule. One thing I’ve noticed is that some clients hesitate to book the later appointments because they don’t want to […]

There is nothing quite like summer in Hermosa Beach. Between the long, bright days, beach volleyball matches, afternoon bike rides along The Strand, and just soaking up the ocean breeze, our beautiful coastal home comes completely alive.

And no, it does not mean the massage was too aggressive or that something went wrong. Post massage soreness is actually […]

Finding the perfect gift can feel like a workout in itself. We have all been there—wandering through aisles or scrolling through endless pages of “stuff” that will probably just end up in the back of a closet.
