Eric DeFonso
Eric’s nature-oriented background gives him a unique perspective on how to help people in need of pain relief and relaxation. He studied physics and earth sciences and even worked as a computer programmer in the business realm for several years, but left the corporate world and spent a year traveling in South America doing wildlife conservation volunteering. In 2015 he rededicated his life to connecting directly with people, understanding the mind and body and working to first improve his own health and then to share his knowledge with those around him so they can improve their own. Eric graduated from the Healing Spirits Massage Program in Boulder and then traveled shortly thereafter to Thailand and Bali to study Thai Yoga massage for nearly 3 months. There he developed an appreciation of the culture where the practice originated over 2000 years ago. Working the traditions of East and West, and even melding them when needed, he creates sessions with an easy relaxing flow alongside specific therapeutic focus. Eric offers integrative massage using deep-tissue, Swedish, neuromuscular, and myofascial techniques on the table, and of course traditional Thai Yoga massage in fully clothed sessions on a comfy floor mat. When not practicing massage, Eric enjoys being outdoors (especially birdwatching), playing and listening to music, reading, learning about cognitive science, and being an avid trail-runner here in the foothills of the Front Range of Colorado.
Emilia Semrau
Emilia is a passionate massage therapist motivated to bring greater balance to every body she works with. Through her studies of thai massage in northern Thailand, her graduation from Denver Integrative Massage School, and her studies of yoga in India, she is equipped to offer complete body, mind, and energetic rejuvenation.
She combines Eastern and Western techniques with stretching and acupressure points, moving energy through the meridians. She takes an integrative approach, blending many different techniques to get whatever result that your body is asking for that day. Any given session could include myofascial release, hot stones, cupping, gua-sha, warm bamboo, thai massage, deep tissue, swedish, and trigger point therapy. You may request any concentration of modalities listed, or a session of traditional thai massage. For this, you would remain in clothing you can be comfortably stretched in, on a floor mat.
Emilia’s understanding of how the body holds on to stress, trauma, and stagnant emotions started with her own healing journey. This has led her to be deeply empathetic with every person she works with, and inspired to have her own story bring greater ease to those of others. Compassion, true listening, and genuine care are practices she brings into every session.
Angela Davenport
Angela was born with a natural instinct and passion for bringing positive, uplifting energy to her community. This has taken many forms, but intuitive, healing touch has been foundational to this expression.
Her formal expertise and training is in therapeutic massage, deep tissue, hot stones, cupping, neuromuscular techniques, sports stretching, sound bowl healing and aromatherapy.
Her informal expertise – perhaps equally important – lies in her interest in, and gift for, reading and honoring the unique needs of each client, and meeting them where they are – emotionally, energetically and physically. She loves her work and hopes to have the opportunity to share it with you!
Karen Garrison
Karen became a massage therapist in 2003 and has been practicing eighteen of the twenty years since then. Providing therapeutic massage and practicing this subtle art of healing has changed her life. She graduated from Cottonwood School of Massage Therapy in Denver CO. Massage was her ‘encore’ career and grew naturally from seventeen years as a Clinical Social Worker.
She believes professional massage can add to our overall sense of well-being and is preventive health care. Massage eases and reduces the effects of stress. A quiet massage creates a deep calmness. Studies have shown that stress is a primary contributor to dis-ease and illness in the body. The mental ‘drifting’ and relaxation that massage offers is similar to meditation or light sleep and contributes to our natural ability to heal ourselves. Massage allows the body to feel quieted, neutralized; the mind may respond with more clarity after a massage. The more often we can do things that create this state – the better for our health!
