Hi, I’m Charisse — founder of Pacific Haven

My journey into healing began the day I experienced how deeply one moment of care can change a person. My very first massage felt like an exhale I didn’t know I’d been holding — a release that gave me clarity, comfort, and a sense of support I had long gone without. That single experience awakened something in me and became the foundation of how I show up for others today.

I understand what it feels like to carry too much — to stay “on” for too long, to move through life without the emotional, mental, and physical support you need to show up fully. That lived experience shapes my work and fuels my commitment to create a space where people can finally feel held, understood, and able to rest safely in their own bodies.

As a therapeutic practitioner, my approach blends evidence-based techniques with grounded, intuitive presence. I help quiet the nervous system, soften what the body has been holding, and create space for genuine renewal. Clients describe my style as calm, intentional, and deeply restorative — the kind of care that brings relief, clarity, and a noticeable reset.

My work is more than what I do with my hands.

It is the care I once needed — now offered to those who carry so much.
