ANILA
I was born in Kathmandu, Nepal, where massage is an integral part of daily life from infancy. Traditionally, newborns are massaged by their mothers with sunflower, sesame, safflower, and mustard oil. The massages are usually administered outside in the sun. It is believed that the benefits include improved skin condition, enhanced flexibility, thermoregulation, and mother-child bonding.
After coming to the United States, I studied massage therapy at the American Massage and Bodywork Institute in Virginia. I relocated to Fort Myers, Florida in 2017 and absolutely love it here! I am a member of both the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and the American Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP). I take my education very seriously and strive to keep abreast of new therapies and innovations in the field. To that end, I take several continuing education courses each year in areas such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, TMJ disorder, Plantar Fasciitis, Fibromyalgia, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Complete Decongestive Therapy, and Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder).
My specialties include Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage for liposuction, tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, and facelift surgeries.
I truly care about my clients and pride myself on my ability to help relieve their stress and alleviate pain. I also feel strongly about tailoring my massage therapy sessions to address the specific needs and desires of my clients. There is nothing worse than going to a massage for lower back pain and having the therapist spend the majority of the time working on your arms and hands. I appreciate your feedback and encourage you to write a review of our time spent together.
My massage studio is located at 12734 Kenwood Lane, Suite 31, Fort Myers, FL 33907. There is plenty of parking, and the studio is fully wheelchair accessible. When you schedule your first appointment, I will ask you to fill out a brief intake form so that I am aware of any medical conditions, allowing us to proceed safely. My massage room is cozy and decorated with traditional Nepali art and artifacts, providing a quiet place to escape everyday stress.
Please contact me to schedule your first appointment, and we will work together to get you the results you need and deserve. If you are unable to come to my office or prefer to receive your massage at home or a vacation property, I will gladly come to you depending on my schedule. There is an extra charge for travel time, but I keep my rates reasonable. Please read about the different types of massage I offer so we can fashion a plan that fits you best. If you have any questions, view my Frequently Asked Questions page, or call/email me directly.
