Adrian Scharfetter

Adrian’s goal is to explore the deeper aspects of healing and neuromuscular therapy as well as pain management.  Adrian has been a clinical massage therapist for 10 years and is currently focusing on various medical modalities and injury treatment plans including Thai massage, deep tissue sculpting, Shiatsu and pregnancy massage.

The focus within the massage sessions is to educate the client as much as possible about their body as well as look for answers to their questions, aches, and pains, and to open up a new possibility to their ways of thinking about health while creating a healthy mindset .

Karalyn Perez

Karalyn Mary Perez is trained in both Esalen and Thai Massage Therapy. Through her practice she supports growth, altruistic compassion, kindred warmth and energetic fluidity through her presence. She lives a conscious, healthy lifestyle with the pure intention to stay fully present to facilitate healing for those who seek aid. She is highly motivated to incorporate healing through therapeutic touch and holistic massage therapy and her work focuses on an incredible form of mind/body/spirit integration healing. As a vessel of love and healing, both participants in the therapy find it very natural to center, ground and drop into a deeper sense of self almost immediately; you can feel safe, warm, comfortable and loved when sharing space. This process is about healthy forms of release, incredible deep relaxation, and lessons on how to trust and ground yourself . You will finish the session, feeling reborn again.

“It is a time to shed one’s old skin, and unhealthy patterns that are coming to the surface. It is imperative that we are all here to benevolently support one another through this incredible journey of life as divine beings. How it is a pleasure…”
