Hey Friends!

I've been up to some fun things behind-the-scenes so I thought I'd re-introduce myself!

My name is Larisa and I'm an Ashiatsu Massage Therapist. I help active individuals and professionals who are struggling with chronic pain & limited mobility to reclaim vitality, freedom, and joy in their bodies. Ashiatsu allows me to deliver deep, therapeutic pressure without discomfort. I also incorporate breathwork, targeted stretches, and habit-building strategies to help clients restore mobility, improve tissue health, and feel more connected to their bodies.

I love helping burnt-out professionals rediscover their vibrant selves during my sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 12-6 PM. If you’re ready for real, measurable change towards enjoying a day without discomfort and generally NOT feeling like a robot after long hours at the desk, then I’m here for YOU!

Seriously though, whatever you're going through, I get it. In 2018 I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease, but not without first being gaslit by the medical industrial complex. They told me that my lived experience wasn’t real.

Chronic pain, stiffness, and the emotional weight of self-doubt made life a constant battle. The medical system, though great for immediate issues like a bullet wound or heart attack, often fails people with the more subtle ailments, offering quick fixes or dismissive advice like “it’s psycho-somatic” or “it’s part of aging.”

In fact, the medical system failed me. Hospital doctors told me nothing was wrong and that I was just depressed. But I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG.

Now, I am here to support and believe YOU. You are the only one in your body and the experience you’re having is REAL. You’re not wrong for trusting doctors implicitly- they’ve gone to school for ages and have earned their position and status. However, the current medical system has its limits, and when they’re not serving you anymore, my colleagues and I are here to fill in the gaps.

Curious how we can work together? Type a quick text to 505-449-7554 and I’ll follow up with you ASAP.

Thank you for being here and making it possible to share what I love.

Warmly,
Larisa
