A place to nurture your natural state of bliss.
Human touch and massage is a form of communication without words where, in the presence of awareness, your body can deeply process the moment, and find the way to calmness and healing. Touch stimulates the release of endorphins, which can lower the perception of pain and contribute to sensations of euphoria, helping us to relax, unwind!
Our goal is to integrate body techniques to a deeper level of your body's memory, where it can reset old patterns and support long-lasting wellness. Pretty simple, isn't it?
Clients can expect a powerful living touch, combined with intermittent flow of soothing release, we attune to your moment to moment matching your body's natural rhythms.
Each appointment starts with a welcome tea and finishes with an application of warm towels to your feet—we carefully listen to your concerns, customize the session to your preferences, and adjust pressure to your needs.
At Livin'Touch we also nurture relationship with our clients and strive to make them feel comfortable, at ease. Talk is optional, table is warm, deep breathing is encouraged and each treatment has its customized playlist.
So if you're stressed and tired of searching for a proper massage, one that gives you the touch you seek, we welcome you to be in touch, book a session, and reconnect to your innate power of healing.
Livin'Touch - not any touch, a Livin'Touch!
Meet Ni
CMT by the State of California, Ni is an experienced bodyworker who has assembled a variety of techniques from her years traveling the world. Always passionate about touch, culture, and people, she began her studies on the Ayurvedic massage and Yoga in Brazil and India. Years later, she expanded her knowledge on western techniques while in London, where she immersed in the soothing secrets of aromatherapies.
Learning modalities like Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Hot-Stones, and detoxing techniques have helped her dip her foot in the water and launch into the world. While a masseuse on yachts, she has lived and traveled all over Europe meeting exceptional multicultural massage therapists. Ni believes much of her professional and intuitive approach comes from the embodiment ("in corpus" in Portuguese) of the many and various massage sessions, in the past 10 years, she has given and received.
She fell in love with Thailand once and embedded herself in the fascinating life of monks, mountains, silent practice, bungalows, curry and, of course, Thai massage retreats! Her passion has driven her to continue developing expertise in new international experiences and sensations, like the amazing Turkish baths of Istanbul, the sumptuous infusions of Morrocan argan and mint, luxurious and spiced markets of Dubai, and the Kenyan deep safari and soul retreats. From French castles en Provence and lavender to the Hawaiian aloha Lomi-Lomi healing spirit, you name it!
In 2017, Ni furthers her education while living in Richmond, VA, where she received training in medical massage, pre-natal, lymphatic drainage, cranial-sacral, myofascial release and other modalities! She is constantly attuned on learning new skills to best serve her clients.
And now she lives in Palo Alto - Bay area, where people are connected through mountains, water, innovation, health, and knowledge. What a place to be in touch and to bring a touch of healing!
