Welcome to Hands on Health Massage Therapy! I am Becca Akicita, LMT. I have been doing massage therapy since graduating in 2011 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 began my massage practice in Ashland, Oregon in 2011 and later moved to Coos Bay, OR in 2018 where I built and maintained a thriving practice for just shy of six years. I worked with people in all lines of work from doctors, nurses and teachers to police officers, construction workers, servers and everyone in between! I am so excited to start working with the wonderful community of Corvallis!

As for my therapy style, I specialize in therapeutic work to bring effective change using a blend of many techniques including 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 Training, 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.  

This line of work isn't just a business transaction  for me. I personally invest my heart and energy into finding the best approach for each individual and their body. 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!  

I also have a massage chair or portable table and provide mobile services to any event such as a girl's at home spa day, customer or worker appreciation day, retreats or any event you want to glam up a bit!
