Hi! My name is Alexander Torres, I am originally from Colombia and I have called Charlotte home for over 20 years. I consider myself a student of life, often seeking new depths in the physical, mental and spiritual realms. During 2018 I started my journey into the healing arts graduating from the NC School of Advanced Bodywork. I have since expanded my skills by becoming a Yoga teacher in Brazil, a CranioSacral therapy practitioner, and more recently Equine bodywork - yes they need muscular relief too! I hold a BA in Business Management and I also practice laying of hands, Direction of Energy and Reiki. Today, working with clients on the table is my meditation. I believe we are social beings by nature, and touch is a key component of our overall wellbeing - table time is everything! Whether it’s structural balancing, a relaxing massage, or a touch of light (energy), my goal is to customize every session to your needs and desires.

Hi! Im Thanya Black, a Concord native. I earned my bachelor’s degree in business management but I’d always been interested in skincare. After 18 years of raising my 2 children, I decided to follow that passion. I have 10 years experience in the beauty industry & love helping clients feel beautiful in their own skin. I offer a variety of skincare treatments and waxing services & will help develop a skincare routine specifically designed for each individual client. I passionately believe in the power of touch & continue to perfect my facial massage. One of my favorite quotes by Leo Buscaglia is “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around”, and this is how I strive to live my life.

Hello! My name is Javier and I am originally from Puerto Rico. When I was 8 years old, my aunt came to visit and gave me a tiny Reflexology chart card. It showed a map of the feet and where to press to make people feel relief from allergies, headaches, digestive issues and more! This excited me because, even at that young age, all I wanted was to help people (specifically at the time, my mom) feel better. As I started practicing on my family, I saw that it worked, and I fell in love with Reflexology!

At the age of 20, I obtained Chakra Reflexology and Reiki certifications at the ULC. Institute of Natural Healing in Carolina, Puerto Rico by Rev. Ken Smith and Rev Carla M. Perez-Smith.

Over the years, I have continued to practice and offer treatments to friends and family on the side. But then, 2020 happened. For me, as I’m sure for many of you, it was a life shattering year. I lost my mom early on to Covid. Then, I was fired from my banking job for caring too much for fraud victims. E
