“Working through The Blueprint program was the best decision I’ve made this year. Araina is a perceptive listener, an enthusiastic cheerleader, and a deliberate, supportive guide. This program helped me to refocus on my values, align how I spend my time with those values, and feel confident setting and holding to boundaries that create space for me in my life. Change is a process and I’ve made some healthy shifts in my day-to-day life that already help me to feel more energized and centered amidst the chaos of life in an unpredictable career in an intense city. Can’t recommend this program enough. ” -Anna K. – Teacher

” I see Araina about once a month and have been doing so for a little over a year, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Her demeanor and office space are calming and relaxing and put me at ease the second I arrive. She is an empathetic and active listener and begins every session by checking in on how I’m feeling — mentally and physically — so she can assess my needs and tailor the massage to meet them. She eases day to day stress from my muscles and helps me target more chronic, long-term issues, and she helps me brainstorm strategies for maintaining that relief over time. Scheduling is easy and her reminders are always timely and consistent. At this point, I consider my appointments with Araina to be an essential component of my wellness and self-care. She helps me prioritize my well-being in the midst of my stressful life, and I am grateful for every minute I spend in her office under her care.”  -Caitlin M. -Teacher

“I have been getting massages from Araina consistently for 3 years now. Araina always makes it a point to check in with me before she gets started to see how my body is feeling and ask if there are any areas that I would like for her to focus on during the massage. I have fallen asleep numerous times during the massages because I am so relaxed. Araina also makes it a point to ask if the pressure is too much during the massage. Araina not only consults with me about the physical pain that my body is going through but we also talk about stress, sleep schedules, and fatigue. She is very knowledgeable about how I can address issues with my body, whether it be suggesting investing in a heating pad, providing me with sprays to help calm me before bed or giving me tips on where to buy backpacks so that the weight from the items in my tote bag can be more evenly distributed to not cause more back pain. My massages are the only thing I vow to do as a method of self-care and I would highly recommend Araina!!” -Carla T. – Social Worker

“I loved my massage from Araina! She was extremely attentive to all of my needs, asked tons of questions, and made sure she massaged all of the areas I felt discomfort in. She made suggestions on how I could improve my posture (alternating the shoulder I wear my purse on so that the weight is equally distributed throughout my body) and was a general overall pleasure to be around. She was amazing! I would definitely visit her again. “

-Courtney H. – Founder CEO of Care Blackage

I have been receiving massages from Araina for over a year and I must say, it has gone from being a luxury to being a medical necessity. I have suffered from migraines and stress-related headaches for years, and the only time I get total relief is after one of her massages. Araina has a compassionate and caring manner. She always begins with how I felt after the last session, and any new problems that have developed since then. Araina has a very gentle but firm “healing” touch. I can feel the tension and stress start to leave my body with the first stroke and by the end of the hour I am totally relaxed and my headache is completely gone. In addition to getting a great massage, I get a licensed professional whose primary concern is my wellbeing. I couldn’t ask for a more complete package. – Juanita W. - Medical Office Manager

"My experience with Araina was solid. I not only enjoyed the massage but felt tremendous thereafter and was also very in tune with the way she worked on my body. Mind-body connection. I would highly recommend her services!"

- Ray D.- Entrepreneur and Fitness Coach

"I love the ambiance and the high level of professionalism. The information I received with my massage was insightful as well as helpful. Can’t wait until my next appointment!"

- Daniel T. - Photographer & Musician

"I arrived a little late and in a hurry but Araina immediately made an effort to create a relaxed environment with her friendly nature and welcoming tone. Then there was the massage itself: AMAZING! She is clearly very knowledgeable about muscle and body structure and she was also able to answer any questions that I had about recurring pains and how to alleviate them. I got the “signature massage” and it was simply fantastic. I have never been more relaxed or felt more pampered in my life. I also received a follow up email the next day where she asked me about the effects of the massage and gave me recommendations based on the massage and the topics that we covered during it. I can’t wait to go back!!!"
