I started body work in 2007 and I enjoy working with clients to improve their quality of life. A healthy life is a long life. I specialize in neuromuscular and clinical massage and I look forward to working with you!
In 2015, I was hitting the gym a lot! I wanted to learn more about fitness and its relation to massage and wellbeing so I attended Penn Foster online and became certified in Fitness and Nutrition in 2017.
Then in 2018, as I thought about my future. I had been attending yoga classes for several years and decided I wanted to learn more about yoga also, I attended Long Beach School of Yoga. I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would and am now studying Yoga Anatomy in more depth.
I am looking forward to working with you in your wellness journey.
Licensed Massage Therapist
Mercedes Livernois, LMT
I've been a Certified Massage Therapist since 2001. Prenatal, deep tissue, sport, reflexology, Swedish as well as energy work(Reike) and cupping are some of the modalities in which I am trained. My favorite type of treatment to give is a therapeutic massage. My therapeutic massage is a massage that works the problem areas while still allowing for relaxation.
Massage has always been a passion of mine. It's an honor to be able to help people in such a personal way as giving healing touch and release from stress or physical pain.
