"I was born and raised in San Francisco. Because I grew up around stressed people and stressful environment, I always wanted to avoid going down that path. After graduating from High School I discussed possible paths that I could take with my family and friends. After hearing hundreds of things that I could do, I heard someone say "I need a massage". That made me seriously consider massage. After doing research about what massage is today and how it positively affects people I decided massage was what I wanted to pursue as a career. I feel fortunate that I can do what I love for a living." - Josh
GLORIA
Gloria's obvious love for bodywork has already garnered her numerous repeat requests. Most recently, she had two child clients for chair massage and discovered her touch can be translated in many forms whether her client is a 10 year old receiving a first chair massage or a bodybuilder needing deep tissue after a grueling workout! With her background as an Esthetician, Gloria just might start offering organic facials to our clientele - stay tuned!

"I didn't know I had a transversal longitudinal deltoid, or a superior metabolic scalene. Hell, I don't even know if those are real names of muscles, but if they are, I'm sure Gloria found them. I sure felt them when she was done with me." - Ron L., San Jose

"I remember when I was younger I would always watch the travel channel and want to go to all of those great places where I could get massages, wraps, and facials. Places where I could be pampered. Then as I got older I wanted to start doing that for others so I enrolled at the Essential Health Massage Institute in Merced, California. I continued my career for 2 1/2 years with a Chiropractic Office where I was able to experience many different clients with many different needs. Now I am excited to be a part of bodywork by the beach where I hope to continue my work, education, and love for massage." - CassieSTACY

I am proud to work in Pacifica, the lovely coastal town where I have lived with my family for over a decade. My heartfelt thanks to you for giving me the privilege of introducing myself to you through this website. I feel honored to be chosen to work alongside my many clients who trust me and are ready for positive change in their lives whether it be through colon cleansing, clinical hypnotherapy, or neuro- linguistic programming. Without pretension, I am proud to serve my community." - Jeni- Rolondo V, San Francisco
"I would like to thank Jeni for her caring and understanding of my body, after my first initial visit. I have an arthritic condition called "ankylosing spondilitis," which I was diagnosed with around 9 years ago. It is an inflammatory disorder of the joints and vertebrae, and I also have mild fusion of my spine, especially in my hip, tailbone, and neck areas. Along with my Bikram Yoga practice, to keep me balanced, detoxified, and centered in my wellness, Jeni's approach was the perfect compliment to my yoga and chiropractic care. She opened up things that most massage therapists have not been able to open up, which for me, is huge, and was because of my very relaxed state throughout my session, from Jeni making every bit of my visit as comfortable as possible. Because of Jeni's warm and nurturing approach, and with the least amount of pressure, I am stoked to have been feeling "most excellent" the last couple of days..."BEATA
