ABOUT ME

Chelsea Hazzard Nesmith

Owner

Certified Massage Therapist

"I first began my journey as a massage therapist in Salt Lake City, UT.  I graduated from Myotherapy College of Utah in 2008, focusing my studies mainly on deep tissue, trigger point therapy and sports massage techniques. My first job as a massage therapist was at an office in Park City, UT, working mainly with skiers and travelers.  I moved to Southern California for a few years, seeking warmer weather and the beach lifestyle.  After what was supposed to be a quick girls trip to Santa Teresa in 2012, I decided to take a chance at the Pura Vida lifestyle and haven't looked back since!  

​

My massage technique uses a combination of modalities.  I strongly believe that education and self-care are very important to maximize your session with me.  With each session, we will discuss your pains, restrictions and concerns so that I can provide an effective and efficient treatment.

I aim to provide bodywork that really gets down to the problem and restrictions while also making it a relaxing experience.  The primary modalities I incorporate into each customized session include: deep tissue, trigger point therapy, sports massage and Swedish/relaxation techniques.  I am currently enrolled in a Orthopedic Assessment for Clinical Massage program in order to expand my abilities to assist you with your pain and physical dysfunctions.

​

Since Costa Rica does not have certification or regulation for massage therapists, I maintain my certification with the California Massage Therapy Council."
