Meet Our Massage Therapists

Therapist Tiers

We are dedicated to staying on the edge of massage therapy to give clients the best care possible. One way we do that is ensuring our massage therapists are carefully chosen, properly certified, and continually advancing their therapy knowledge, skill sets, and credentials.

We take it a step further by categorizing therapist into three tiers based on experience, education and skill level. This way clients can team up with a therapist that meets their needs and goals.

Tier 1

Tier 1 therapists have all of the fundamental knowledge needed to give you an amazing massage. These therapists are great for clients looking to relax, de-stress, recover from a tough work out or get that monthly maintenance massage that keeps existing issues from becoming bigger issues.

Tier 2

Tier 2 therapists have taken that basic fundamental massage knowledge and brought it to the next level. These therapists have completed classes to learn a greater knowledge of the body and massage techniques to help clients. These therapists are great for clients with more acute pain issues acquired from injuries, accidents and chronic conditions.

Tier 3

Our Tier 3 therapists have the most in depth knowledge of anatomy and medical massage modalities. These therapists have taken advanced and master level courses in therapeutic and medical massage techniques. If you are recovering from: surgery, acute injuries, trauma to the body, or chronic medical conditions these therapists have the knowledge to help you feel and function better.

"I came across Katie through a friend. I booked my mother in law an appt with Katie after she complained her knee pain/strain and was walking with crutches. By the time she left Katie, she was walking unassisted! My mother in law was SO impressed with Katie. She's said she was VERY knowledgeable, and doesn't try to "up sale" you."
Sarah G.Lincoln, CA
"Katie is THE BEST!!! I have suffered from shoulder/back pain for years and saw many physical therapists and doctors to help me out with no results. After one visit to Katie, my should problems are 100% gone and my back almost never gives me any problems."
Aly L.Davis, CA
"Katie does amazing work—I'm in my final weeks of my third pregnancy and she has been my saving grace. I have had many prenatal massages (and sport massages and Swedish massages), but none that actually focus on your needs and understand your bodies pain points...and actually address them to have you leaving feeling brand new."

Logan Baugh - Tier 1 Massage Therapist

From a young age I always knew I wanted to make a difference and help people. Massage Therapy is a newfound passion of mine but I have always enjoyed bringing harmony to the mind and body. With a background in nutrition and fitness, massage therapy was the last piece of the puzzle I needed to create a customized blend of work that so many people can relate to and need.

Using my hands and my heart I help my clients relax and feel whole again. I challenge myself to actively keep learning and currently offer a variety of different modalities tailored to meet each individual’s needs. My style varies from general relaxation, sports injuries and rehab, to active stretching. Proficient in Swedish and Shiatsu. I work with people of all walks of life and aspire to leave them feeling renewed and rejuvenated. 

Luis Sanchez - Tier 1 Massage Therapist

I believe that Massage Therapy is a fun, relaxing way to maintain your body! Massage Therapy is a calm treatment that can help promote general wellness by manipulating tight muscles that may be causing you pain. Therefore, I have practiced and studied many different techniques and modalities to provide a uniquely personalized massage that will best fit for you! I dedicated myself to focus on your wellness to provide you with a therapeutic massage that will allow you to feel brand new again!

As someone who loves to help people, my style of work involves a combination of stretching, movement, and compressions. I strongly believe in good communication so throughout the sessions, I work in collaboration with the client to meet your needs and make sure we can reach your therapeutic goals together!

Although I am a newly certified Massage Therapist, I have worked alongside professionals that mentored me along the way, so I feel confident in my abilities to offer you the unique massage experience.

Focus:

  • Upper body/neck
  • Shoulder focus
  • Low back/Hip
  • Legs/Feet
  • Full Body

The techniques I use are: Swedish, Shiatsu, Prenatal Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Lymphatic Massage, Hand and Foot Reflexology, Myofascial Therapy, Cupping and Relaxation.

Alex Barker - Tier 2 Massage Therapist

The first joke I like to tell all my clients is… “in a perfect world we could all get free biweekly massages and free counseling”.

I have been a certified massage therapist for over 3 years and I am thirsty for knowledge. My skills and style are diverse and unique. I tailor each session to your specific needs. In our sessions I will address/aid in the healing process for each area of concern or on tension held in the body. My clients describe my massage style as intuitive body work. Where I tap into the body/mind connection and help aid in any healing, relaxation, or recovery you might need. I hold a loving and judgment free space for each of my clients, as we are all human just figuring it out.

My techniques and style will vary depending on my clients needs and how the body is presenting itself to me that day. Tools and techniques I might use in our session may be included but not limited to…

Lymphatic Massage, Gua Sha, Cupping Therapy, Percussion Gun, Aroma Therapy, Swedish Massage, Acupressure, Deep Tissue, Therapeutic, Myofascial Release, Stretching Therapy, Ayurvedic Healing Modalities, Chakra Balancing and Stress Relief

Becoming a massage therapist was never my original career goal, but after opening myself up to the world of self care, health and wellness, it has become my passion. My priority is to educate my clients about the importance of a health and wellness routine. I believe in helping clients to gain a new sense of awareness to their body, along with engaging a ‘mind, body and soul connection’.

Katie Ochoa​ - Massage Therapist & Owner

I am a medical and therapeutic massage therapist, specializing in chronic conditions, and I want to help you get rid of your pain!

I opened my own massage business so I could have the freedom to treat each client with a customized experience. No set routines or memorized scripts. Each client has their own needs and goals. Though I am traditionally trained in many different massage modalities, I have taken my love and knowledge of the human anatomy and kinesiology to create techniques that are effective and long lasting. I strive to make a positive experience and difference for each client in a setting that is relaxing and professional.

I also competed in the World Massage Competition in June 2019!

My strong medical background sets me apart from other massage therapists.

I have a degree in Kinesiology and have been a massage therapist since 2002, which gives me a lot of experience to draw to further help me discover what each individual’s body is doing and what could be the cause for that person’s pain or complaints. I have taught Kinesiology, A&P, and multiple massage modalities at Truckee Meadows Community College. I am a giant nerd about the human body and love to read the latest research about all things human anatomy. I am currently going to school for a Masters in Kinesiology.
