about 

I was born in Colombia and grew up in the Catskill mountains. After highschool, I went to SUNY Oneonta were I got a bachelor's degree in business management. I worked in the fast-paced hospitality industry, did some freelance marketing and consulting for small businesses, and helped run my family’s pest management company.

These chapters of my life were great, but I wanted to do something that truly helped people on a deeper level. That's when I found massage therapy and its benefits. I attended Pacific College of Health and Science and received an Associates of Occupational Studies in Massage Therapy.  My training blended both Western and Eastern medicine, allowing me to see my client's pains, discomforts, and needs through a unique lens that combines the latest science in western medicine with the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine.

I believe in approaching the body as a whole, not just a collection of muscles and aches. Palma Restorative massages are centered around the connection between the nervous system, fascia and muscles. If your nervous system is not calm, no amount of 'digging' into a muscle will provide lasting relief. My goal is to help you activate your parasympathetic nervous system, so true healing can begin.
 
The body expresses what our words cannot, and I want to help you listen to those messages. It's not just about addressing physical discomfort, but also about giving you the space to reset emotionally and mentally. My hope is that you leave feeling more connected to your body and with a deeper sense of peace, even after just one session .
 
My approach is gentle yet effective. Sessions are collaborative.  We will move at a pace you are comfortable with to help you attain your goals.
