My name is Macrina; I am a Certified Massage Therapist and Health Educator. I completed my training with the 800-hour massage instruction program from National Holistic Institute in Emeryville, CA, with more than 300 additional hours of massage and related clinic practice. I am California state certified also. With a prior lengthy career in healthcare, I have always advocated the importance of maintaining one's health and wellbeing.
However, nearing the end of that career, I began to realize my own health and wellbeing were being compromised. When I was last employed at a large medical center in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2015, my family was struggling like many others with affordable living and subsequent increasingly difficult and distant commuting. Those daily struggles began to manifest with increased stress, fatigue, depression, and several personal health issues.
It was a close and compassionate friend who finally suggested simply that I "seek balance". Several life changes later, including an incredibly exciting new career, BALANCE MASSAGE was established.
