Hello I’m Nicholas
Certified Massage Therapist #94949
I grew up in Morro Bay and attended Cuesta College before I began my journey with massage therapy. During my time at Cuesta, I studied many different subjects, but was always drawn to both philosophy, and healing. My favorite part of massage therapy was exploring the various methods used to heal the body and learning about the role fascia plays in our lives, and how it is connected to so much our body does. I graduated from the California Holistic Institute here in San Luis Obispo in 2022, and started working right away. I started working in spas where I learned how to relax the body for optimal healing. I then switched gears and found working in the chiropractic setting highly rewarding, since the focus was more on healing pain and restoring muscles. It was there that I really developed my massage skills and worked one on one with a Chiropractor learning Myofascial Release. I use my skills to reduce tension and stress, by customizing treatments like Myofascial release, Sports massage, Trigger point therapy, cupping, Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and aromatherapy. I create a relaxing space for healing tailored to each person. I am committed to helping others feel better physically and mentally. My passion for holistic healing has led me to teach my clients how to massage and heal themselves at home so they can spread holistic healing to their loved ones. I aim to create a complete picture of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. I see the beauty in how everything fits together and believe this understanding leads to real healing and change.
What interest me the most is connecting the dots, unraveling the intricacies of life and uncovering the hidden patterns that lie beneath the surface. It is within these connections that I find a deep sense of purpose. Through the exploration of various modalities and approaches, I strive to create a holistic tapestry that weaves together the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of our well-being. There is a profound beauty in understanding how each piece fits into the grand puzzle of our existence, and it is through this understanding that true healing and transformation can occur.
My Technique
As a Myofascial Sports Massage practitioner, I prioritize enhancing the effectiveness of myofascial release by using a range of techniques. Cupping therapy involves suction with cups on the skin, lifting and separating fascia. I use scraping (Gua Sha) to release tension and restrictions in the fascia. By integrating cupping and scraping, I deliver a comprehensive treatment for clients.
As a dedicated professional massage therapist, I consistently aim to provide exceptional service, exceeding client expectations for healing and relief. Continually learning new techniques and staying updated in the field, I deliver effective, personalized treatments for unique individual needs.
Why Myofasical Massage?
As we age, tight fascia can restrict mobility and flexibility, impacting physical performance. Luckily, holistic approaches like myofascial release, stretching, and gentle bodywork can soften tight fascia, promoting better functioning and vitality. By loosening the fascia, individuals can enjoy their preferred physical activities with more comfort and enjoyment, regardless of age.
