Mihai

Male Massage Therapist
MAT-16984

Mihai studied at Aloha Massage Academy in Kealakekua, Hawaii, and has pursued advanced level training with Maka’ala Yates in traditional Hawaiian style lomilomi massage. Mihai’s approach melds movement & stillness, hot & cold, independence & communion. Duality provides the contrast as we are challenged to find balance. Mihai gives each session his care and intention and his reviews reflect this.
