My name is Alassandra and I am a Certified Massage Therapist and a Certified Survivor Advocate. My work as an advocate drives my passion to empower individuals in their lifelong healing journey, which lead me to studying the physiological impacts of trauma and the mind-body connection.  I have a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Education from UC Santa Barbara and my background is working with individuals who have experienced intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and stalking. I have been lucky to work with a wide spectrum of people, including specialty populations such as veterans, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, former foster youth, cancer survivors, elderly, and people with disabilities. My massage training includes Swedish or circulatory massage, deep tissue, Thai massage, acupressure, Tui Na, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, craniosacral therapy, sports massage, lymphatic brushing, and aromatherapy.
