Transformative Touch by Tlielaxu

Overview

My bodywork journey began in 2003 when I interned with Olympic hopefuls for the 2004 Summer Olympics. I then worked with the UC Berkeley Swim and Water Polo Teams, refining my skills through intensive sports therapy training. These experiences enhanced my expertise in biomechanics and strengthened my ability to address each client’s unique needs.

My massage style combines sports therapy techniques from various modalities to achieve optimal results. I incorporate Esalen methods for those seeking relaxation, using slow, interconnected...More strokes that release bound connective tissue while fostering deep relaxation.
I am extensively trained in Thai, Tui Na, Shiatsu, Esalen, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage (pre-, post-, and maintenance), and LaStone Therapy. This diverse training allows me to tailor each session to the client’s goals, whether they need targeted relief, improved performance, or relaxation.

What sets me apart is my lifelong immersion in healing practices. Growing up with a chiropractor father, I witnessed his transformative work—realigning nerves, resetting bones, and manipulating soft tissue. This early exposure instilled a deep understanding of the body’s healing potential.

By combining hands-on experience with a deep understanding of the body, I offer personalized, effective care to help clients achieve their best physical and mental well-being.
