So, you want to learn more about me, huh? Well, here it is!

I'm Ana Karina, a proud graduate of the Cumberland Institute of Holistic Therapies and a Licensed Massage Therapist with over five years of experience. My journey into massage therapy started long before my professional training. As a kid, I eagerly awaited my mom's return from work, ready to rub her feet after a long day. These early experiences ignited my passion for massage.

After climbing the corporate ladder, I found myself yearning for something more fulfilling, especially after the birth of my first child. I wanted to spend quality time with her, not be tied to a demanding job. So, I took a leap of faith, applied to massage school, and never looked back.

When I'm not working, you can find me enjoying the beach, catching up on sleep, having fun with my kids, exploring new restaurants, or indulging in some self-pampering.

I specialize in integrative massage, blending various modalities to create a personalized and effective session for each client. My fascination with energy work led me to study Reiki and Craniosacral Therapy, enriching my practice even further.

In 2023, I became certified in lymphatic drainage, driven by a personal mission to help my mom, who was at high risk for glaucoma due to elevated eye pressure. A series of serendipitous events led me to the last available spot in a class, and the results were nothing short of miraculous. After treating my mom with lymphatic drainage on her face, her eye pressure returned to normal, and she was no longer at high risk for glaucoma. This profound experience cemented my belief in the power of lymphatic massage.

Today, lymphatic drainage is a cornerstone of my practice. I am trained in the Vodder method, Brazilian lymphatic drainage, and post-op techniques. The Vodder method uses gentle, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system and is excellent for reducing swelling and boosting the immune system. Brazilian lymphatic drainage focuses on sculpting and contouring the body, making it popular for aesthetic purposes. Post-op lymphatic drainage is designed to aid recovery after surgeries like tummy tucks and liposuction by reducing swelling and promoting healing.

I love learning and continually strive to enhance my massage techniques. My career has taken me to some fantastic places, including Rhapsody Spa at the Westin Hotel, Brazilicious Beauty Spa in Franklin, and The NOW Massage Boutique in Belle Meade. Each experience has taught me what works best and what doesn't, shaping the luxury massages I offer today.

Now, I share a serene space in Crieve Hall, where I provide what I believe are luxurious and deeply therapeutic massages. I also offer mobile massage for Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, and Wilson counties; as well as post surgery lymphatic massage in East Nashville.
