Anthony Fernandez
Massage Therapist
In 1989 I started my passion with massage therapy and exercise rehab training with a medical group that had 9 rehab facilities throughout Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside county, which I worked at all 9 as a rehab rover technician for the most difficult patients and after gaining enormous knowledge with working on patients with pre and post surgical Orthopedic, Neurologic, stroke (GAIT Training) and amputations, I moved on.
Tammy LaMorte
Massage Therapist
I have been practicing massage therapy for 19 years and absolutely love delivering a service that heals and calms both body and mind. My studies at the New York College for Holistic Health Education and Research and the masters I have been blessed to have worked with, taught me to thoroughly listen to my clients specific needs. I provide a combination of Swedish, deep tissue, shiatsu and manual lymphatic drainage, among other modalities. Massage is a necessity, not a luxury for our overall health. It is deeply therapeutic on all levels; mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical.
