Meet Our Massage Therapists in Greenbrae, CA

Education: National Holistic Institude 1350-hour program
Favorite Area Of Focus: My favorite areas to work are the neck, shoulders & hips. I find that though clients delight in the work in the usual tension areas, they are frequently surprised by hip work, and how helpful it can be in regaining their range of motion.

"Carissa is an excellent massage therapist. The front desk staff are consistent welcoming and professional."
"It was a wonderful experience and I came out walking on clouds. Excellent service and beautiful studio "
"friendly and excellent massage"
"Carressa is great!"
"90 minute massage was an excellent value. Carressa was great at working the knots out in a relaxing way. "
"experienced and professional therapist"
"I LOVE Carressa, she is wonderful. She really gives my body the treatment that I need."
"Professional and personalized massage, consistently."
"Caressa was wonderful! Also, lovely calm atmosphere."
"Able to get an appointment on the weekend and the therapist understood what my body needed for the sports I play."
"Amazing massage, very clean & calming atmosphere"
Carressa helped me with some head neck and shoulder tension caused by the residuals of a nasty headache. From the moment she started working on my lumbar area of my back I felt the tension easing up in my shoulder area. I loved the work Carressa did in my rhomboids, trapezius and especially my deltoids. I felt like a new person after getting off of her table."

I learned a variety of techniques such as deep tissue, prenatal and sports massage, which I apply in my massage sessions depending on the requirements and preferences of the client.

Testimonials

"Kelly is a true professional and always does a great job. He really listens to your concerns and has the technical expertise to accommodate your needs."
"Kelly is fabulous. He has such an incredible way of finding exactly where the problems are and communicates in such a way that it feels really collaborative. It's like having someone to partner with me to address my back issues. I'm so grateful to have this available to me and would highly recommend Elements to everyone!"
"Massage was just dynamic in all aspects ... gentle hands, sensitivity & a calming quiet voice"
"Kelly is hands down the best massage therapist at Elements, & arguably in Marin. "
"Deep tissue Massage from Kelly and although painful as I expected it's been a few days and I'm feeling much better, looking forward to the next session."
"A very good therapist. Kelly was wonderful and really helped my acute back pain."
"I loved everything about it! The staff at the front desk was very warm & welcoming. Kelly, my massage therapist, asked enough questions to enable him to tailor my massage to the areas that needed it, but wasn't overly chatty. The facility is spotless and the ambience serene & calming. I recommend Elements Massage regularly!"
"Kelly was a great therapist who discussed my needs before beginning my massage and talked with me through certain elements of it. It was a very relaxing and healing experience."
"Kelly, my Massage Therapist, is AMAZING. He has a way of being so gentle, but always finds spots I'm not even aware of until he works on me. He is probably the best deep tissue massage therapist I've ever had. He is so intuitive, knowledgeable, & has great suggestions for things I can do at home. If I won the lottery - I would have unlimited Kelly massages!"
"Kelly is an incredibly knowledgeable therapist who takes the time to make sure he is meeting your needs rather than just going through the motions of a routine."
"My massage with Kelly was great! He hit all the tense spots with deep enough pressure to relieve them."

As a healer Kelly has experienced what it is like to overcome illness.  Massage helped in his personal healing experience.  Because he felt such results he wanted to give back and to share with people who are in need of pain and stress relief.

"True relaxation and reinvigorating experience."
"Great atmosphere and Al-Grace was great."
"Al-Grace’s massage was just what I need — perfect balance of firm and deep pressure, incredible stretches incorporated throughout the massage — even got my stubborn shoulder to ease and trust during the stretches. Glad I upgraded to the AromaRitual and Himalayan Salt Stone massage — the eucalyptus and heat were just what I needed. Definitely going to book with Al-Grace again and again."
