The Invitation
In each moment lies an invitation to return to what is present – your breath, your heartbeat, your very existence.
Sometimes, we’ve spent minutes, days, and even years disconnected from what in our field is wanting attention, forming into an imbalance – may it be pain, stress, disease, challenging relationships with people and money, and so on.

The Invitation
In each moment lies an invitation to return to what is present – your breath, your heartbeat, your very existence.
Sometimes, we’ve spent minutes, days, and even years disconnected from what in our field is wanting attention, forming into an imbalance – may it be pain, stress, disease, challenging relationships with people and money, and so on.
My life’s path has brought me to offer you support on your return towards Self. That is, the integration of the parts – physical, mental, emotional, energetic, spiritual.
You choose what you are wanting to address on any given session. Through our flow of communication, shared intuition, my acquired skills, and your body as an access point, we bring awareness to what is deserving of attention – this can be a specific injury or trauma, chronic pain, stress that is unclear, or many other states of imbalance, in order to hold space for healing (revealing the lost information).
With these words I invite you onto the therapy table to take a profound breath and drop into a space of presence and healing.
Infinite Blessings,
Apolo

¿Qué sensación deseas experimentar en tu cuerpo, mente y espíritu?
¿Es una ausencia de molestias relacionada con demasiada o muy poca actividad?
¿O quizás es liberarte de tensión relacionada con el estrés de la vida?
¿Tienes una lesión crónica que has estado ignorando o no has podido recibir la ayuda adecuada?
¿Cómo te quieres sentir después de que se termine la sesión de terapia de masaje?
Mi nombre es Apolo y estoy entrenado en técnicas avanzadas de masaje deportivo, técnicas clínicas y de rehabilitación, masaje tradicional tailandés, y utilizo herramientas especializadas (“cupping”, herramientas de raspado, herramientas de manipulación de la fascia) para trabajar con el sistema fascial a un nivel profundo.
He sido un atleta de “elite” durante la mayor parte de mi vida (triatlón, pista), obtuve mi Licenciatura en Ciencias en psicología en Florida State University (con un enfoque en Psicología Deportiva), soy entrenador / entrenador personal y también Instructor de Yoga avanzado (RYT-500) y recibí una educación espectacular en terapia de masajes en The Florida School of Massage. Mi experiencia me ha estado preparando para este mismo momento: para brindar el más alto nivel de terapia de masaje y ejercicio ortopédico a quienes lo necesitan.
¡Espero con interés trabajar con usted!

Massage and Hydrotherapy Day Program
Prerequisites for physical therapy school
During this 75 hour comprehensive and interdisciplinary certification, I learned advanced massage techniques, orthopedic tests, implementation of flexibility techniques, and worked at several events massaging athletes.
During this 18 hour course normally limited to physical therapists, I learned to help clients identify running related injuries, how do self-treat them, and develop programming to help facilitate an injury-free return to running.
This is a comprehensive 108-hour course at The Bodhi Sangha School of Thai Massage in Gainesville, Florida. The certification emphasizes not only the very unique sequences of manual techniques associated with the healing art of Thai massage, but also the act of practicing Metta, or lovingkindness will giving to a client.
I planned and implemented swimming and conditioning training sessions for a diverse group of triathletes and runners in Miami, Florida from 2014 - 2016.
I earned All-American status under USA Triathlon in the 20-24 age group. Some notable performances include winning numerous races in Florida such as Suncoast Triathlon and Mack Cycle Trilogy Series overall as well as qualifying for the 2011 Age Group World Championships in Beijing, China.
I ran/trained for the 800m for the nationally-ranked Florida State University's Track & Field team for the 2012 season as a graduate student/assistant. I did not compete due to achilles tendinitis injury.
Anchored the undefeated Belen Jesuit Preparatory School 4x800m relay team to a first place finish at the 2007 FHSAA State Championships. Was also a key member in both the 2006 State Champion Cross Country team (3rd man) and the 2007 State Champion Track team (4x800m, 800m, 4x400m).
As a personal trainer, I created and implemented workout programs for individuals and groups alike in Miami, Florida from 2013 - 2015. Several of my specialties included corrective and functional exercise, bootcamp-style sessions, and individual/group swim sessions.
For 6 years, I taught swim lessons to hundreds of individuals and groups alike with clients ranging from 2 years old to over 65. The intention of every session was different from learning to take first strokes, to competing in open-water races.
During this course, I trained and studied materials in order to develop exercise programs and incorporate progressions that address muscle imbalances, prevent injury, and improve movement patterns, muscular strength and endurance.
I led patients through orthopedic exercises and cued select clients through running-specific rehabilitative exercises, among numerous other responsibilities. Miami, Florida and Gainesville, Florida.
I have been a coach at Orangetheory since 2015, leading groups of 24 members at a time through dynamic exercise sessions incorporating running, rowing, and strength work. Workouts are heart-rate monitored to gauge intensity and motivate members.
