About
Deep tissue work combined with slower, controlled strokes—that's the approach that's defined my massage practice over the past four years. I blend targeted pressure with fluid, soothing techniques to address exactly what your body needs in that moment. Whether you're carrying tension from workouts, desk work, or just the weight of daily life, I work with precision to release what's locked up while keeping the whole experience calming and grounded.
I'm AJ, based out of Hawthorne, and I came to this work from a background as a personal trainer. That experience taught me how bodies move, where they break down, and what real recovery looks like. I use a range of techniques—deep tissue, Swedish, Thai, trigger point work, and CranioSacral Therapy—and I layer them together in ways that feel intuitive for you specifically.
What matters most to me is that you feel safe and fully present during our time together. I work with people of all backgrounds, all body types, all orientations. You'll have my complete, undivided attention. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, and I offer both in-studio massage in Hawthorne and mobile sessions serving Hawthorne and surrounding areas within a 10-mile radius. Texting works best for booking, and I prefer scheduling in advance so I can give you the care you deserve.
