Dean Marson – my massage style incorporates passive movement to bring flexibility to the spine and joints, and gentle, effective muscle work to address specific problem areas. Long flowing strokes add a sense of integrated wholeness to your body; energy balancing leaves you resting in a place of deep relaxation and peace. My special interest is in helping people develop and refine their abilities to care for and heal their own bodies.
Jessica Fagan– a massage practitioner since 1994, I utilize the therapeutic principles of Eastern and Western modalities, Deep Tissue/Structural Integration, Neuromuscular Therapy, Sports Massage, Craniosacral, Shiatsu, Tui Na, and Thai Massage to address injury and the source of holding patterns unique to each individual. Range of motion, rhythmic rocking, stretching, and cradling encourage deep relaxation and a nurturing environment for the body to find it's own equilibrium, thus, creating space in the body that allows increased ease, openness, and expansive awareness.
Kristen Allen – my work incorporates deep tissue and Thai yoga stretches with the integrative nature of Esalen® Massage. Long, slow strokes are essential to any Esalen massage, and it is my intention to hold space and gravity for you to breathe into your body. The body is an amazing healing instrument: with breath and presence, long held contractions and tensions can be released, expanded, and loosened. This is our work together.
Lucia Rose Horan – a massage practitioner since 1991, I use my training in Esalen® Massage, Yoga, Thai Massage, Lomi Lomi, Deep Tissue, Aquacranial, Brazilian Energy Healing, and 5Rhythms® to assist in bringing an awareness of balance into the body. I use techniques that are both feminine/nurturing and structural/masculine. All bodies live with the innate knowledge to heal, and I am here to facilitate movement, inviting the internal healing process to unfold. Each session I do is unique, as I follow and respond to your body, using the tools I have gathered over the years.
Reynolds Paul Wehrman – with sensitivity and an open heart, I welcome the opportunity for contact through massage. My skills combine detailed deep tissue work with receptive, listening hands, and allow for an integrated experience on many levels.
Robin Fann – my background is in dance, yoga, and meditation, and my massage work is a continuation of these practices. I use my training in Esalen® Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, and Breema bodywork, as well as my intuition to create a dance that is unique and individual with each person. My intention in every session is to create a safe and supportive environment to evoke the innate wisdom and healing powers of each individual.
Esalen® Massage, well-known for its long flowing strokes over the whole body, helps release the stresses of everyday life, leaving the receiver feeling whole, integrated and deeply relaxed, in a natural state of well-being.
