My name is Athena Ezurike and I have been practicing as a Massage Therapist since 2016. I graduated from the University of Arkansas in Little Rock and shortly after I decided to relocate to Santa Cruz, CA. Since my relocation to California, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Naturopathic doctors and advanced massage therapists who specialize in Craniosacral massage. These opportunities have increased my knowledge and performance while helping my clients receive the most from their treatment.
My massage background includes Deep Tissue,Prenatal, Hot stone, Craniosacral, Myofascial Release,Swedish, Aromatherapy, Polarity, Lymphatic and Reflexology massage. I love furthering my education by learning and incorporating new and improved techniques. I enjoy helping my clients relieve tension and pain while aiding their bodies to increase the healing process through external stimulation.
