Hello, Kumusta and Aloha Everyone. I am Rhonda Larkins, Owner/ LMT/ Yogi of Prolong Symmetry. Due to a work related back injury at UPS in 2003, massage therapy is what helped me the most during recovery. I am a true believer in the benefits and am looking forward to helping you with your wellness journey. 

I have been an lmt since 2006 and have studied Reflexology, Thai Yoga, Thai on the table, Ashi Thai, Ashiatsu ( Barefoot Shiatsu) ACE Cupping, Myofascial Release I,  Reiki Level 1, Advanced Massage Techniques, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi and other techniques.  Come see me as I introduce Ariel Yoga with portable stands at local parks, venues, and/ or festivals. 


Starting Prolong Symmetry in 2007 to focus on using Ashiatsu ("ashi" means foot and "atsu" means pressure) It is a deep tissue technique that allows me to massage with my feet and distribute my body weight to get deeper into the muscle tissue. There are 2 parallel bars that come down from the ceiling that is used for balance.


 

Ashiatsu portable bars can be brought for demonstrations. Reflexology  and/or chair  massages services to participate in run/ walks, music festivals and health fairs.

Ultimate goal of helping other LMTs further their massage career by having an Apprenticeship, become a mentor and participate or become a Continuing Education Facility.

Long strokes and focus on back and shoulders is so amazing!

Personal care to fit my lower back pain. The newness of Aerial Yoga for stretches is a need for me. Very relaxing.
by Anonymous on Aug 10
Neck pain is much better after my Aerial Yoga session. Nice and gentle. Not as strenuous as I thought initially. Rhonda does a great job at making me feel comfortable.

Rhonda is the best massage therapist I've ever seen. She knows just where my body needs the most help, so no massage is ever the same. I highly recommend her!
by Roben on Jul 02
Rhonda was AMAZING. She used exactly the amount of pressure I requested (very deep tissue). She is highly skilled and also super sweet. I reccommend her without reservation!
