Maria I am Maria, the owner of Zen Paso. I first trained and practiced in the UK back in 2000 and that was where my love of body work and healing began. I then went on to receive my California Massage License in 2002 from the San Luis Obispo school, California Holistic Institute. There I studied Swedish Massage, trigger point therapy, deep tissue, craniosacral, Thai massage, reiki, hot stone, fascia release, and cupping, and pre-natal massage. I am also certified in lymphatic drainage massage,
I have an integrative style of massage that uses an holistic approach to healing, understanding the deep connection between our physical and emotional wellbeing. I will use varied modalities in my massages to meet your goals, whether it is to release tight muscles, relieve physical pain, promote faster healing from an injury, or release emotional trauma, stress and anxiety. My goal is to be a facilitator on your journey to reach optimal physical and emotional health.
Arwen Arwen is a sweet and caring individual. She is also a fantastic deep tissue specialist.
While Arwen specializes in manual deep tissue work, she also enjoys incorporating other modalities such as cupping and hot stone.

Arwen has an innate ability to listen to the needs of her clients’ bodies, and a passion for helping her clients work through their muscle tension and pain with an intuitive, intensive style.
In her off time you can find Arwen enjoying being in nature by hiking or camping, or snuggling with her two cats and a good book.
