Hey there! My name is Paolo (pow-low), and if you’re a Lizzie McGuire fanatic, you might have the urge to ask me to sing to you. Yes, it happens! And no, I will not.
I’m originally from the San Fernando Valley where I was born and raised for most of my life. I relocated to the beautiful city of San Diego in 2022 to be closer to my chosen family.
I started my massage therapy career in 2013 at an orthopedic surgeon's office. I then made my way into the physical therapy realm and learned a lot of techniques to help patients heal from specific injuries. Here, I worked with patients on the spectrum from radical mastectomies to achilles tendon tears, helping them improve range of motion and mobilize damaged tissues. After that I worked at a high end gym, gaining a world of knowledge in body assessments and client care. I learned specifically about how important our posture is when we move, or don't move through our day-to-day life. I also had the honor of hosting and teaching fellow massage therapists within the company about the knowledge I gained and how to apply to client care.
I truly want to help you feel good! So I’ll customize my work based on your needs. People come to me for a variety of reasons. So whether you're needing some relaxation after a stressful season of life or you got sidelined by an injury, I'm here for you. I have many years of experience helping professional business leaders heal their chronic back, hip, and neck pain. (Sitting through way too many meetings?!) I help them get realigned so they can get back to the boardroom and have a functional family life. I have a deep passion to see people engage in life in the most holistic way possible. Through active listening, both to you and your body, I'll tailor an experience to bring you into a restorative practice of compassion for both mind and body.

“Navigator”
This is a whole-body cohesive treatment working one section at a time that gives time for me to get very specific, while also allowing for your body to be the navigator, intuitively guiding the bodywork to the most needed areas.
Tools I use:
I may use various tools during your massage to help increase range of motion and reduce adhesions in your body, if needed.
Myofascial Decompression Therapy aka cupping.
Massage pushes in, cupping pulls away. Suction pulls on the skin to increase blood flow to your affected areas. Improves circulation, promotes proper healing, great for scar tissue and adhesions.
Scraping/Guasha
I use a metal tool that aids in reducing pain and muscle tension. Improves overall muscle recovery and decreases inflammation from chronic pain.
