What is fascia, anyway? Fascia (from "band" in Latin) is a broad term for the connective tissue that holds our bodies together. Composed primarily of collagen, it attaches beneath the skin and stabilizes, encloses, and separates muscles, bones, organs and nerve tissue. When we attach the Greek root "myo" to create myofascia, we have what describes the connective tissue of the muscles. Much like tendons (which connect muscle to bone) and ligaments (which connect bone to bone), myofascia surrounds the muscles, bundling them together. Inflammation of the fascia (such as plantar fasciitis in the feet) or trauma can cause adhesions and fibrosis, a type of scarring in the connective tissue. Left unaddressed, these adhesions and fibroses can lead to long-term pain.
During Thai bodywork, which is performed on a mat on the floor, you remain clothed throughout. In either case, we recommend either wearing flexible, moveable clothing to your session (such as you'd wear to the gym) or bringing a change of clothes along with you. Integrated sessions on the table are of a focused nature (rarely a "full-body, relaxation" type massage), and while you may choose to remain fully clothed, some techniques may require contact with the skin.
Anja gives a thorough, Thai based body treatment as refreshing as it is therapeutic with good attention to clients issues.
Every massage is different and perfectly tailored to whatever is going on in my body that day. Anja is always learning and has an expansive view on the body from a holistic perspective. This isn’t just another massage. I always feel so relaxed and all the knots are melted like butter when I leave. 😊
Best massage ever!
Anja knows her stuff! I can always be assured I will feel better after seeing her. She is very knowledgeable and does amazing work.
Excellent at identifying the problem. Excellent at myofascial release techniques. I am regaining my range of motion in a way no other therapist has been able to accomplish.
very professionalism
Anja is the BEST! I have been with her for years because she has an intuitive gift and is an incredible healer, always knowing just the right moves and modalities to use to bring greater balance and peace to my body and soul. I always leave feeling relaxed and restored. She creates a warm and safe, honoring environment which is such a blessing and has become part of my ongoing self-care. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Anja is amazing. I treated myself to a two hour massage after a week of working 14 hour days. I feel rejuvenated and much less achey. Thank you!

Anja is a very good massage therapist, able to adapt to a client's needs. Great demeanor. Pleasant, and super professional. Scheduling appointments has been easy, and over months of appointments, Anja has never needed to request a reschedule. Highly recommend.
