Benjamin Taylor, LMT
Ben first became interested in massage during college when he spontaneously purchased a book about massage from a sidewalk sale rack. After graduating from CSULB and attempting to be a salesman, he decided to pursue a career that he was more passionate about and involved helping others. Massage therapy was the perfect fit for him. He loves getting to provide tension and stress relief, especially those with chronic pain conditions. Graduating at the top of his class at the Southern California University of Health Sciences, Ben has continued his enthusiasm for learning by taking multiple Continuing Education courses in Therapeutic and Deep Tissue massage. He also is trained in Thai, Swedish, Sports and Pre-Natal massage. As an advocate for massage, he also loves receiving the benefits of regular bodywork. A massage with Ben is tailored to your body's needs that day. He uses a variety of techniques to accomplish relief of tension, pain and stress in the muscular system. This is accomplished through relaxation of the mind and body. His belief is that massage should be focused around reducing pain, increasing mobility and overall physical improvement. |

Her passion lies in the field of understanding how these bodies interact to promote and sustain health and wellness. Her intellectual endeavors guided her to the art and practice of Yoga. In 2009 she entered into an intensive study of Astanga Yoga philosophy and mechanics, discovering the relationship between right practice of mind, body, and spirit. She currently teaches Yoga, assisting her students through their practice to triumph over personal narratives of lack, and inability. Working toward greater holism, she studied and graduated from the Hands on Healing Institute of Tujunga with a certification in Massage Therapy. Her aim with this certification is to go deeper into the biological aspects of the individual and offer an experience of deep relaxation in the body. It is from this deep relaxed state that true healing and listening to the body may occur. Her goal is to help her clients engage with this relaxed state so that it may become what sustains them in their everyday lives. Her sessions are a blend of deeply connected Swedish, CranioSacral Therapy, and Treatment massage. She incorporates the Essential Oils in her sessions upon request.
