“Tatay, sino yun?” A young Milo pulled on his father’s hand and pointed to a village elder steaming banana leaves to lay on the chest of a young man on the ground. This was his first exposure to “Hilot,” a traditional healing modality in his childhood village in the Philippines. 40 years later, as a registered nurse and licensed massage therapist, Milo has combined training he’s received worldwide in the US, Philippines, Canada and Thailand into a healing modality completely unique to him.

“These styles I learn are all powerful modalities with centuries of practice and healing effects,” Milo reflects on his style of bodywork, “But nowhere in the world can you get Milo bodywork unless you come to Milo!” His laugh is that of a fiery Pinoy. And it’s true. Milo’s style is the seamless blending of his 20 years of training and experience in countless modalities including traditional western medicine, Thai yoga massage, Tok Sen, Deep tissue, acupressure, and his home country’s Hilot.

“True healing is holistic. It’s the result of opening the energies of not just the body, but the mind and spirit. If you touch one or two, but not all three, the healing won’t be complete. Do you understand?”
