 Your Session 

All healing involves reducing the friction that has built up in our body and mind so that the normal, natural flow of energy can be restored. For this reason there are profound benefits to receiving massage that focuses attention on the energetic circulatory system of the body known as Sen (also called Nadis in Ayurvedic Medicine). This type of treatment is not only physical but also energetic and can be much deeper than other forms of manual therapy. You will leave feeling more refreshed and more agile. Whether you prefer light touch or deep tissue therapy, each massage is fully customized to meet your individual needs. 

 

 

We use Bindi Premium Ayurvedic Massage Oils

Bindi is a superior, 100% natural blend of rich oils, Ayurvedic Herbs and healing plant and flower essences. These incredible blends contain medicinal herbs that offer antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits.  Instead of remaining on the surface, their nurturing nutrients go directly into the body, improving blood circulation, nourishing muscle tissue and eliminating stored-up toxins. Bindi nurtures and restores the skin while it cools and soothes the nervous system. Its Aromatherapeutic properties relieve everyday tension and stress.

 Client Testimonials (excerpts from yelp)

"Angela is awesome. I found her when I had a SLO passport several years ago and was trying out every massage therapist within a reasonable distance. Out of seven I've tried in SLO and several outside of SLO, she's still the best. I've sent dozens of people to her and they all pay her a visit when in town.  Forget your day spas, for a massage...go see Angela. If you've found a better massage in SLO, inform me, because I don't believe you."  - T.B., San Luis Obispo, CA
 
"I've had other massage treatments in town and away on vacation at fancy resorts and they don't compare to Banyan Tree. Angela is the bet!"  -  Chrissy B. San Luis Obispo, CA
 
"I've been going to Angela for years and always have thought she's awesome. Can't even tell you how many people I've referred to her or bought gift certificates for with her. Recently a very painful back issue had me there for more therapeutic work, and I can tell you she is a master at her craft! I'm even more of a fan now......." - Mary V., Arroyo Grande, CA
 
"Have to agree 100% with the other reviewer who said to forget day spas, and come to this gifted massage therapist, Angela. I couldn't have been more happy with my 1st session today. She really listened to what I needed and hoped for from the massage, and was very responsive to feedback during the session (though I hardly needed to say anything besides "Hey, that pressure is perfect!" because she is so intuitive). I'll be back again soon, definitely"  - Sara B, San Luis Obispo, CA
