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.

How far can a gift of Empathy, feeling someone else’s emotions, be taken? Poppy knew she had a gift when she could feel the distresses of her friends as her own from a young age. In 2012, she began to experience the coming and going of pains and aches in mirror sensation and location of the people around her; this is where her curiosity for healing started to blossom. Could she help? Intuitively, she started practicing energy work on anyone willing and open to receiving it. In 2021 she started receiving Massage, and by the end of the year was enrolled at National Holistic Institute for Massage Therapy in San Jose.

Now, she specializes in open flow massage. She uses touch and the biomagnetic energy flow of the body to guide her to and through the held tension that can cause limited movement, discomfort and pain in the body.
