OUR TEAM
At Ojai Massage we believe that the massage therapists’ health is a cornerstone of the healing process.
Our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being is part and parcel of how you feel when the session is finished and you’re off our table.
Superior therapeutic massage is based in a toolkit of vital technique and long experience, but the state of mind of the practitioner is crucial to the result. So we monitor ourselves and each other about our states of mind to be sure that we are bringing our best.
