All About Me

Hi! My name is Alexis Felix, certified massage therapist of 13 years and owner of Napa Therapeutic Massage. My practice focuses on providing a safe and tranquil space for individuals who are experiencing anxiety and depression.

 

I found my love for massage as a teen when I was fortunate enough to spend some time in Mexico with my grandparents. My grandfather was my best friend, he worked very hard in the ranch and every day when he came home from work  with aching muscles, I would massage his hands and feet. His sighs of relief were so gratifying and have stuck with me throughout my career as a massage therapist. He passed of old age in 2015.

 

After returning home and finishing high school, I went on to begin and complete my training in massage therapy and health education at the National Holistic Institute in Petaluma, Ca in 2010.

 

In this time, I’ve been raising 3 caring, intelligent children, most recently as a single mom. On my own time I find peace and clarity in my garden. I enjoy nurturing my plants, treating them when they are sick and watching them grow delicious fruits and flowers. I also love to read, especially self development and history books. I love to meet new people and getting to know their story because we are all so uniquely formed.

 

What caught my attention the most about massage therapy was the relationship between our emotional and physical self. When our heart aches and our soul is broken, it manifests itself in our physical body. We hold tension in our body, our sleep suffers, we are fatigued and so much more. Through massage, I am able to aid in reducing fatigue, regulate sleep patterns, relax tense muscles and support you in your healing journey.
