About us

Ewa Mendez RMT

Ewa has been practicing massage therapy since 2012, and she brings 8 years of teaching experience in the field. Education has always been important to her—she stays on top of new research and findings and incorporates that knowledge into her treatments to best serve her clients. She believes that massage therapy can significantly improve overall well-being, decrease pain from soft tissue injuries and overuse, and help reduce stress.

When working with clients, Ewa takes an individualized approach, using all of her training and experience to create treatments that truly support recovery and lasting results. Some of her favorite treatments focus on the hips, neck, and TMJ, and she also enjoys incorporating craniosacral and visceral techniques.

Ewa stays active with running, swimming, and snowboarding, which helps her understand the challenges other athletes face and how best to support them. From her experience, successful recovery comes from effective communication and collaboration with clients. She is passionate about helping people better understand their own bodies and encouraging healthy habits that make a real difference in daily life.

As a former medical laboratory technologist, Odette has long held the vision of helping the health of others, and has found massage therapy to perfectly blend the science of the body, with the subtle art of healing touch. Her meticulous approach focuses on the needs of the individual, and aims to provide relaxation while also being therapeutically effective. No matter your age or stage in life, Odette believes EVERY one can benefit from massage. It not only brings relief of pain, stress and tension, but it can also create the "space" for reconnecting with one's whole self. It is here, where healing happens.
