About

For me, there is a sense of calling and mission in massage. I enjoy tremendously working in meditative state of mind. Through deep relaxation healing just happens. I call it Active Serendipity. Joseph Campbell said: "The natural opening of a human heart to another human being" and it describes what massage is for me. I take care of my clients at 2120 Market Street, San Francisco on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My goal is to breathe more, have better posture and increase range of motion. In other words: A younger me every year! I started my training in SBBTI in 2005 and plan to keep learning because it is a journey. I am very grateful to John Harris (author of Fix Pain) for having me as a teaching assistant many times. There is a tremendous sense of empowerment we experience once we find ways to deal with soft tissue pain and/or discomfort in areas such as lower back, shoulders, foot and neck. It is a joy when client realizes: "It was just muscles".Nelson loves learning bodywork and experiencing different approaches worldwide whether in his native country, Brazil, or his trip to Adrspach in the Czech Republic and the thermal baths in Budapest, Hungary. He plans to further his bodywork studies in India and Thailand.
