Licensed Massage Therapist | Certified Health Educator | Lyrabat
Lead therapist Angela, has been with us since Summer of 2019 when she moved to Sonoma County, from the East Bay. Growing up with lots of brothers and uncles she was always outside and physically active. In high school she wrestled and threw shot put & discus, was active in Venturing (co-ed high adventure Boy Scouts) and played music in the jazz band, concert band, marching band and orchestra on various instruments. She also grew up assisting her uncles on small construction jobs and particularly loved demolition.
She graduated massage school in 2005 and started working full time as a massage therapist in 2015 at a sports chiropractic clinic near multiple fighting and Spartan gyms. Angela takes the extra time to get to know her clients and patients so she can carefully design individualized massage plans to work on areas of complaint as well as finding other areas that they may not have noticed needed attention. She continues to hone and perfect her skills and is able to work on a variety of bodies, conditions and injuries including young athletes, weekend warriors, construction workers, MMA/BJJ/Muay Thai fighters, CrossFit, drivers, office workers, those with Parkinson’s and fibromyalgia, pregnant and aging bodies and beyond. Angela has recently trained in sound healing and will sometimes use it to help facilitate relaxation of body and mind at the end of her sessions.
Outside of work she loves to try out new food places, going to shows/concerts, exploring nature, going hiking and camping, yoga, participating in renaissance fairs, aerial sports and singing karaoke throughout Sonoma County.

“My whole life I’ve always worked with my hands; as a kid I was out in the garden with my parents or grandfather, as a young man I took every art class I could and as an adult I worked as a landscaper and carpenter for many years before finally diving into my aspiration for massage therapy. It is my life’s goal to provide relief and aid in recovery for others, and I hope that I can do the same for you!”

She is also currently furthering her education in Advanced Neuromuscular Massage training. Alicias passion is helping people, and getting results. She loves the puzzle of working on the human body and specific injuries! Alicia says: As a massage therapist, I am committed to providing relief from pain, tension, and discomfort by using targeted techniques on those specific areas. I like communicating with my clients as I feel we can become more comfortable with each other and I’m able to know more about their body. It is incredibly satisfying seeing my clients improve their general health and well-being. In my free time, I enjoy reading, going to the gym, watching movies, hiking, researching and learning new techniques. I also spend time hanging out with my 3 daughters and our 3 cats. ¡Hablo inglés y español!
