Welcome to Hands on Health....coming SOON to CORVALLIS! I am Becca Akicita, LMT. I have been doing massage therapy since graduating in 2012, from Cortiva Institute of Massage Therapy, in Scottsdale AZ. I have been passionate about holistic health and wellness since a young age and chose to get into this line of work as a way to put my passion into a hands on application. I wanted to have a career where I could make a palpable difference in others lives, little did I know how much of a difference this career path would make in my life too!
I began my massage practice in Ashland, Oregon in 2012 and later moved to Coos Bay, OR in 2018 where myself, my wife and two children have been residing. I have built and maintained a thriving practice for just shy of six years. Working with this community has been such an honor and watching the impactful changes that massage therapy, on a regular basis, can have has been inspiring and has grown me as a practitioner. I work with people in all lines of work from doctors, nurses and teachers to police officers, construction workers, servers and everyone in between! In moving to Corvallis for my own family's needs, I am excited to start up a new practice in the beautiful Willamette Valley and serve a new community!
As for my therapy style, I specialize in therapeutic work to bring effective change using a blend of deep tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release Technique, Sports Massage Techniques, and many other modalities. I take both a clinical and intuitive approach in technique and treatment. Having had training in many other methods and modalities, I pull from my knowledge and training in other areas such as Personal Trainer, Yoga Teacher, Herbology and more to create a treatment plan, and see what the client responds to best over time. This includes suggestions for at home self-care routines including things such as stretching plans, postural adjustment recommendations, lifestyle or nutritional adjustment suggestions etc. I'm all about treating you and your body as a whole, massage therapy is just one key in the whole picture of your own health and wellness journey and the daily joy that it can be!
This line of work isn't just an in and out transaction for me, I personally invest my heart and energy into finding the best approach for each individual and their body. It becomes a journey with each individual and I take great care in my practice and the clients I serve. I am honored to work with each individual that comes my way and I can't wait to meet you in person if you feel drawn to check out my work!
IMPORTANT: We are currently in the process of moving and will be moved to Corvallis by the end of May 2024. I will be working out of a gym space during their closed hours 10am- 3pm, until I find a studio space in Corvallis. During this transition, please feel free to reach out to me to get on the schedule or for any questions but please know that I am not fully set up yet and will be scheduling future dates in June 2024. Thank you again and I look forward to working with you!
