Bodywork by Ava My current practice is focused on therapeutic and preventative care in the Bay Area.

I strongly believe in massage as a viable modality for enhancing overall health and well-being. As a massage therapist, I have made it my mission to share the significant impact massage has had on my wellness from an early age. Massage was an ever-present facet of my childhood as means of comfort and care as well as for healing aches and pains. I seek to have a similar impact on my clients, throug

h listening to their needs, treating the acute and seeking the root of the imbalance, while also assisting in healing the whole person. My practice is tailored to the individual and is primarily focused on therapeutic and preventative care. Using a variety of techniques in Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy as well as Deep-Tissue, Thai, Swedish, and Sports massage, I help bring balance and awareness to their bodies on and off the table. I am a proponent of massage whether clients seek to correct bad posture, treat chronic issues or new injuries, or simply to relax and unwind physically and emotionally. It is the uniqueness of each experience that continues to inspire me as I expand my practice. Dedicated to my work and community, I volunteer on the massage team for the AIDS Life Cycle. I graduated from the National Holistic Institute in 2011 and bring a commitment to my clients through bodywork to give people a safe and nurturing space to heal and learn the language of their own bodies.

Ever since massage school, Thailand was the one place I always dreamed of going to study.

15 years into this work, I finally made it there. During a month in Thailand, I had the opportunity to learn Thai Foot Reflexology at — an incredible experience with amazing instructors and fellow students.

Grateful for the knowledge, the tradition, and the opportunity to bring new techniques into my practice.

I’m excited to share that I recently completed Pat O’Rourke’s Structural Head, Neck & Jaw continuing education course!

I’ve been wanting to dive deeper into how the jaw’s structure both affects and is affected by the rest of the body. This course has given me exactly that—and more.

What does this mean for my clients?
I’m now certified to offer Intraoral work, and I’m thrilled to be integrating this powerful new tool into my practice!

Just completed a 16 hour Evaluation and Treatment & Muscle-Specific Deep Tissue of the Shoulder Girdle.

Oh how continuing education creates even more passion for my practice.
Loved being around other body workers and getting new techniques for my tool belt!

Next weekend I’m continuing down into the arm and hand for more knowledge!

Got to check out another Body Worlds exhibit, it’s been about 5 years and they always blow my mind as I get to see them with new eyes every time with what I’ve learned in my practice over the years.

Cool evolutionary fact shown thru images: only about 40% of the populations still has a psoas minor. One can have it bilaterally or unilaterally.

If you are a regular client of mine - it’s likely we have talked about and worked on the psoas muscle.
