I have been a client of Hana’s for 8 + years. She has helped me with everything from back pain to posture as well as countless injuries from sports, jiu-jitsu and CrossFit. I always leave her office feeling better and with a plan for moving forward. I consider Hana and her skill set as an invaluable part of my wellness team, which is why I send all of my family, friends and clients to her as well.

Hana is an exceptionally talented massage therapist who combines her extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology with an empathetic ear to truly understand and address her patient's individual needs. With Hana's help, I've made significant progress towards healing from an injury other healthcare providers considered irrecoverable. Her contribution to getting me back to practicing the sports I love cannot be understated!

My Physical Therapist mentioned that I might need additional help with my injury. He referred me to Hana.  Best move I ever made.  I did not know what to expect on the first visit; yet on every visit from that day onward Hana listened as I explained my various problem areas, checked to see if any of them could be related. . . then started a course of action to help me out. Over the 6 years of going in for different problems, in November of 2021 I let Hana know I was pain free for the first time in ten years.

Living with autoimmune disease can be a challenge. Hana makes it easier. Hana is a skilled and intuitive massage therapist. Using a variety of massage techniques, she helps me restore alignment and mobility throughout my body. Our sessions allow me to continue working in a physically demanding job and pursuing my recreational activities. I am so grateful to have Hana as a part of my healthcare team.

I was referred in by a Dr. of physical therapy. Having received  bodywork for over 40 years Hana is one of the best I’ve experienced. She gets right to the point of the problem area and unravels it in a safe manner. She knows anatomy inside and out. She’s light years ahead of most body workers.

Hana has been a lifesaver for me.  After suffering with pain for three years throughout my body due to a car accident, she successfully treated me; now it's like the accident never happened.  Hana is an incredibly kind and intelligent professional who listens to you and addresses the issues your body is suffering from.  I highly recommend her.

I have been seeing Hana for over 14 years, for back and joint issues, and post-surgery therapy. She is knowledgeable, professional, and an excellent massage therapist & Active Release practitioner. I have learned so much about how to address my body issues from her expertise and I always feel so much better after a session. Thanks, Hana!
