Rita Benavides, Massage Therapist
Drawn to this healing practice by her own early love of massage, Rita eventually became a practitioner in 1999. She has taken all the “best of’s” in her repertoire to provide you with a unique and enjoyable experience. A blend of long fluid strokes coupled with passive stretching is her intuitive blend of Swedish, Esalen, and Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage. The amount of pressure she uses is determined by how your muscles respond. The deep penetrating heat from smooth basalt stones that fit into the palm of her hands is integrated into the massage. This promotes circulation, and deep relaxation, and feels Wonderful. It is Rita’s intention to create a safe therapeutic experience, leaving you deeply relaxed, refreshed, and in closer touch with your essential well-being.
