Ana Figueiredo has been practicing massage & bodywork since 1996. She has studied in Europe, Thailand and the U.S. and is licensed in Pennsylvania. She has created & taught workshops for other massage therapists as well as having introduced new treatments to numerous spas in Philadelphia. She is a WEALTH of information when it comes to the body, it’s anatomy, physiology and function in movement.
Ana is the kind of therapist who gets excited to learn new things about the body and how we can affect its wellbeing. She is constantly reading new books, finding new teachers and discovering new ways to help her clients. She truly LOVES the work which is what sets her apart. She approaches the body as a whole and understands that pain in one part of the body may be a symptom of an issue in a different part.
She uses a myofascial approach by working with the connective tissue & assessing the tension patterns throughout the whole body in order to deliver the most optimal treatment. She is also very tuned in to the energy body and can work in very subtle but effective ways to balance these systems.
Ana is trained in Craniosacral Therapy, another very gentle but powerful therapy which works to balance the nervous system as well as the musculoskeletal system through subtle manipulation of the bones & fascia of the skull, face, spinal column and sacrum.
Her other training includes Myofascial Release, Traditional Thai Massage, Thai Acupressure, Prenatal Massage, Medical Massage, Reflexology and so much more!
