My Healthy Tip: Water, water, water! Don’t underestimate how important water intake is, shoot for a gallon a day!
About Me: Aloha! I am born and raised in Phoenix, AZ and am one of 7 children! I have always been the massage therapist of the family, so it was no surprise when I became an actual licensed massage therapist at 19. I absolutely love massage therapy work and consider myself very blessed to love what I do! I am constantly growing and learning more about personal development and always want to provide a comfortable and safe space for each client and person I associate myself with.
What Massage Means To Me: I love massage therapy because I love helping people and I believe that massage is such a holistic approach to therapy. I believe in treating the whole body, mind, and spirit and massage therapy is the gift I was given to treat and serve my community.
My Education And Training:
- License in Massage Therapy from Arizona School of Massage Therapy 2008
- Qi Gong training 2009
- Reflexology Advanced Training – continued education 2010
- Infant and prenatal massage – continued education 2014
- Reiki master 2020
Specialties: I am passionate about energy modalities such as reflexology and reiki. I believe these modalities treat the whole human and are so helpful! I also love providing full body relaxation including some stretching. Customizing experiences are always the goal and listening to chief complaints and addressing them is my goal always.
My Favorite Services:
- Body Wrap: experience a body wrap! Trust me! Your skin and body feels so nice and rejuvenated and it is so relaxing
- Classic Couples’ Massage: full body relaxation with someone you love and cherish is such a wonderful experience and highly recommended!

- Melanie B., YELP - 5 STARSI had a wonderful experience here! Small and comforting spa like setting. I received a scrub wrap followed by the Lomi Lomi massage from Carissa. She was professional, friendly, very personable and made the whole experience enjoyable and seamless from beginning to end!

My back and neck had knots, the massage from Carissa helped big time. She is a true professional. She has magical hands and is such a miracle worker! I will be back! The room was secluded, private and clean. The shower room was so cool too.” Amanda D., YELP 5 Stars
