Vanessa Charles

Vanessa has been blessed with being a massage practitioner since 2010 and a yoga teacher since 2004.  She loves how massage can be as therapeutic as counseling without all the talking.   She is a proud mother of a four-year-old and adores the balance between being a mom and enjoying the peacefulness of giving massages.  She studied in Hawaii and specializes in Lomi, Deep Tissue, and Swedish Massage. She is passionate about helping people feel their best.
If you are looking for a therapeutic or relaxation massage Vanessa is a good fit for you.  Her style is slow flow with deep listening to your body for guidance.  She releases your muscles as well as balances your energy with Polarity, Shiatsu, Lomi, and more.  You will end your massage feeling deeply relaxed yet refreshed.

Deep Tissue: Ideal for releasing scar tissue, recovering from injuries, and undoing challenging knots. With an emphasis on focused healing, Deep Tissue massage is designed to generate a lasting shift long after the massage is over. While the goal of this style of massage is beyond pure relaxation, many people enjoy the stress relieving benefits of this restorative work.

"Vanessa is a massage GURU. I came to her full of knots and she worked every inch of my body. I've been getting massages for years and I've never had a therapist be so in tune with my body and pains. 10/10. I walked out of there a new person."
