Angela Wapner, LMT
Angela completed the extended program at the highly regarded Breneke Cortiva School of Massage in 2008. She maintained a part-time private practice while working in the Arts as a registrar and philanthropy coordinator until 2016 when she shifted to a full-time focus in Massage Therapy.
She has completed training in Craniosacral Therapy, a practice focused on the nervous system and guided by an acute awareness of a body’s subtle cues. Additional training in deep muscular neck work, neurofascial approach, and lomi lomi augment a massage founded in rich deep Swedish techniques that all come together to characterize her unique approach to bodywork.
Licenses & Certifications: Angela is a Licensed Massage Therapist specifically trained and qualified in full-chest and breast massage, a Certified Compassion Fatigue Professional, and a Nurturing Touch Practitioner.
Brandon Yotsuuye, LMT
Brandon is a Licensed Massage Therapist and Reiki Master. He combines the two for an intuitive massage customized specifically for you each time you come in.
He specializes in treatment work and pain relief. Using Reiki he scans the body for any impingement or blockages. If something arises he goes straight to the problem area making the massage more effective and relaxing.
Brandon spent his first 4 years in chiropractic and Dr. Offices. During this time he learned medical massage and how to help with pain. Now he's combining medical and relaxation massage to reach complete bliss.

Ian Hunt, LMT
Ian is a student in the art of massage. Specifically the interplay between deep technical work and creating space for deep relaxation. He began his pursuit of a massage career after discovering how healing bodywork can be as a result of an injury he sustained in the military.
He wants his clients to know their healing is a rewarding journey and to invite them to remember what it's like to feel great in their bodies. He targets focus areas and integrates them with long, luxurious Deep Lomi strokes and Thai Massage stretches.

Zoe DeWitt, LMT
Zoe has been practicing massage since 2019. She feels it is important that massage is relaxing so she incorporates fluid motions to ease the body and mind, while slowly adding in deep tissue strokes and stretching to restore muscles into alignment. This method allows the body time to release all of its tensions, in order to create a safe space for healing. Zoe is a very intuitive bodyworker and attentive to detail. She will adapt her massage to you, as she is very sensitive to each individual's needs. Zoe is also always eager to learn and grow more as a practitioner. She is trained in Swedish, deep tissue, prenatal, and structural energetic therapy and is continuously learning more. This July she will be traveling to Thailand for a month to dive even deeper into Thai massage, as well as to get trained to be a yoga teacher.

ABOUT THE REST OF OUR AMAZING TEAM...
We have another practice in Fremont (Massage Reimagined) and also a new spa (The Spa Reimagined) with some incredible therapists just 5 miles from my Magnolia space. I want to challenge everything we think we know about what massage is and what massage can be. I hand-picked some of the most amazing, creative, and inspiring massage therapists that I have taught or worked with in the last 10 years and created a space where they can be truly creative and do their best work without the limitations of suffocating corporate structures or bland assembly line approaches that are dominating our industry.
If you are used to our work, you will recognize a lot of it in the massages that you receive at our other practices but each of the therapists there have their own styles, techniques, and philosophies, so you will receive something both familiar and different every time you come in!
