Welcome to Art of Touch by Era
Hi, I'm Era, a licensed massage therapist specializing in a comprehensive range of body and energy work modalities. My expertise spans classic Western techniques including Swedish for relaxation and improved circulation, Deep Tissue for chronic tension and muscle knots, Lymphatic Drainage for detoxification and immune support, and Myofascial Release (MFR) for addressing fascial restrictions and restoring natural movement patterns. I intuitively assess each client's unique needs, seamlessly integrating these with Eastern holistic somatic bodywork and Usui Reiki energy healing.
Each session is thoughtfully crafted to address your unique wellness needs. I intuitively combine different modalities based on what each person's body and energy system requires in the moment. I integrate trauma-informed somatic techniques, gentle touch, and energetic balancing with Reiki practices, alongside targeted massage therapies, listening closely to both the body and energetic cues. Whether you're seeking the soothing relaxation of Swedish, the tension relief of Deep Tissue, the detoxifying benefits of Lymphatic Drainage, or the restorative mobility from Myofascial Release, I provide compassionate, professional care rooted in this authentic lineage. Art of Touch offers a sanctuary for your body, mind, and spirit.

Personalized Care: Every body is a masterpiece. It just needs a reminder and a little of body
For relaxation and improved circulation, I offer Swedish massage, using gentle, flowing strokes. To target chronic tension and muscle knots, I employ Deep Tissue massage, focusing on deeper layers of muscle and fascia. For detoxification and immune support, Lymphatic Drainage massage is utilized, with light, rhythmic strokes to stimulate lymphatic flow. Additionally, I specialize in Myofascial Release (MFR) techniques to address fascial restrictions, improve flexibility, and restore optimal movement patterns. Throughout these sessions, my intuitive guidance allows me to respond directly to the subtle needs of your body, ensuring the most effective and personalized application of each technique.
- Face Lift Massage (Osteorolift & Buccal): A non-surgical facial rejuvenation technique that combines external and intraoral (buccal) massage to lift, tone, and sculpt the face. Osteorolift works on the facial bones, muscles, and fascia to restore natural contours and improve skin elasticity. Buccal massage involves gentle intraoral manipulation of the cheek muscles and fascia from inside the mouth, releasing deep tension, reducing puffiness, defining the jawline, and promoting a natural lifting effect. Together, these techniques improve facial circulation, stimulate collagen production, reduce fine lines, and restore a youthful, radiant appearance — all without injections or surgery.
- Swedish Massage: Ideal for relaxation, stress reduction, and improving circulation through long, gliding strokes, kneading, and circular movements.
- Deep Tissue Massage: Targets chronic tension and muscle knots in deeper layers of muscle and fascia, using slow, deliberate strokes and direct pressure.
- Lymphatic Drainage Massage: A gentle, rhythmic technique designed to stimulate lymphatic flow, supporting detoxification, reducing swelling, and boosting immune function.
- Myofascial Release (MFR): Addresses fascial restrictions and imbalances in the connective tissue to restore flexibility, improve movement patterns, alleviate pain, and correct postural deviations—helping realign the body, reduce compensatory patterns, and restore balanced posture through targeted fascial work.
- Wooden Therapy (Maderotherapy): Colombian Wooden Therapy uses specially crafted wooden tools of various shapes and sizes to perform deep tissue massage and body contouring. The instruments help break down fat deposits, cellulite, and fibrous tissue while stimulating lymphatic drainage and improving blood circulation. This technique originated in Colombia and is popular for body contouring and slimming treatments, helping sculpt and tone the body, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and improve skin texture. The wooden tools allow for deeper pressure and more precise targeting of problem areas than hands alone, and sessions can be combined with Brazilian lymphatic drainage for enhanced contouring results. Benefits include inch loss, improved skin elasticity, reduced cellulite, lymphatic detoxification, and body sculpting.

Colombian Wooden Therapy
Also known as Maderotherapy, this body contouring technique uses specially crafted wooden tools to apply deeper, more precise pressure than hands alone. It helps break down cellulite and fibrous tissue, stimulates lymphatic drainage, boosts circulation, and supports inch loss, improved skin elasticity, and smoother skin texture. It can also be combined with Brazilian lymphatic drainage for enhanced sculpting results.
