Each session is infused with subtle energy healing, personalized care, and integrative practices designed to uncover root causes and support deep transformation.

April

Licensed Massage Therapist

Aloha, 


My name is April and I am a licensed massage therapist.


With a lifelong passion for health and fitness, I am elated that I have found the study and practice of massage therapy. My intention is to assist you in the process of finding your body’s homeostasis, meaning the balance that can help you live a stress-free, fulfilling life.


At times, it’s easy to miss out on the truth within. However, connecting with the inner rhythm of your body can be the opening to harmony and wellness. I use a wide variety of therapeutic massage techniques that create deep relaxation and also balance in the musculoskeletal system. In addition to improving physical health and longevity, therapeutic massage can greatly improve mental health, sleep patterns, boost the immune system, and increase the range of motion and flexibility of people of all walks of life. This is one way to gracefully and naturally enhance your life and dramatically improve the quality of your daily routine. I strongly believe every person is unique; therefore, I listen carefully to craft individualized plans to maximize the therapeutic effects.
