During her pregnancy in Hawaii in 2008, Renata fully  realized the importance of health and wellness. She has always loved the idea of what massage therapy can do for one’s well-being as a natural way to create balance to the body and mind.  She attended massage school a few years later in Seattle and learned natural ways of nurturing the body. Helping people become free of pain through touch is fascinating and is definitely on her life path.  Her massage style has a "heart-felt touch" because she works with compassion at the center of every session. Her 10 years of experience working with clients in a chiropractic clinic, sports rehabilitation and spas has allowed her to create a good sense of what the body needs with pressure and technique.  She is honored to get to know you and treat your body temple.

Rajiv grew up in Bombay, India surrounded by many ancient spiritual traditions. He was exposed to many gurus, lamas, mystics, masters, and their teachings, but it still left him unresolved. He wanted to discover a whole man not split by polarizing forces, so he set off for another shore to discover the west. Much like an explorer and an investigative journalist, Rajiv studied Vipassana (Insight Meditation), Bioenergetics (Body Psychotherapy), worked in corporate leadership for over 2 decades, was a visual artist, and designed clothes,  all in service of discovering a whole man and to speak to it. Rajiv saw that the pursuit of self-improvement is in the way of being awake, and that awareness can flower only when you can see things as they are, without any division. He discovered that renunciation was possible without leaving worldly life - a dance with life with tremendous energy and joy in it.  Seeing all this clearly, he felt a palpable connection and resonance with all of life. It prepared him to become available and to offer direction with no one and nothing excluded.
