"A calm heart gives life to the body" - a proverb

This very ancient saying underscores the need for self care.  The human body experiences stress in many ways even subtly and expresses it in ways the conscious mind is not aware of.  Regular bodywork puts you in control and helps to set you back on the road to feeling your self again - every day!

"A calm heart gives life to the body" - a proverb

This very ancient saying underscores the need for self care.  The human body experiences stress in many ways even subtly and expresses it in ways the conscious mind is not aware of.  Regular bodywork puts you in control and helps to set you back on the road to feeling your self again - every day!

I have been licensed since the fall of 2003.  Each year I continue to expand my knowledge and experience through ongoing training.  Besides the standard offerings of western massage techniques, I am also certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage and have specialized training in Oncology Massage.  I hold firmly to the belief that the body knows how to heal itself.  It's up to us to provide the raw material it needs to continue functioning as designed.  I work meticulously combining Swedish techniques with Lomi Lomi to help soothe and calm the nervous system and help you feel more grounded within yourself.  

You'll be surprised how quickly we can work together to make measurable improvements and get you feeling better.

My practice is located in the Tanglewood/Galleria area of Houston, Texas as well as in Tomball, TX.  I am available to do out-calls for current clients and referrals.

Guinia pays attention to the details of what you need.

Guinia is professional, confident, skillful, and intuitive. Every massage I receive from her is tailored to my needs at the time. Her conversation is uplifting and positive. The music and scent of the room creates a relaxing and pleasurable ambiance. I highly recommend Guinia at Balsam Rose for an amazing massage experience!

The massage therapist worked every muscle area that needed attention. It relaxed my entire body. I felt energetic. I love the fact that she explained how what and why the massage is good and will help the whole body.

I hadsuch a wonderful experience with Guinia for a lymphatic massage. She is incredibly kind, calming, and easy to talk to, which made the whole session feel so relaxing and supportive—especially postpartum. After just one session, my C-section scar already feels noticeably better and less swollen. I left feeling lighter, both physically and mentally. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for healing, especially after surgery or birth!

Always a great experience. I appreciate learning about what’s causing my muscle pain and regaining better mobility after each session.

Guinia was wonderful. Her massage room was so peaceful and calming. She was so professional, yet very personable. I felt very comfortable with her and I would definitely recommend her to a friend.
