Steve Abraham - Massage Therapist
Steve graduated from The Cottonwood School of Massage Therapy in 2003. He is certified in several different techniques including, Therapeutic, Hot Stone Therapy, and Reflexology. Before he joined Ancient Art Healing Center’s team, he spent four years honing his therapeutic massage skills at Too Divine in Littleton. He derived the nickname “magic hands” from his clientele because of the difference they feel in their bodies after an hour of his work. His "Hot Stone Therapy" has been described as “heaven on earth,” and he uses the stones as a tool for getting deep into chronically tight muscles; which results in your heightened relaxation.
Another technique that he intertwines within your hour is Reflexology. Reflexology is a technique that is thousands of years old and its definition is: the massage of the hands and feet. Your hands and feet have hundreds of points in them that correspond with different organs and muscles throughout your body. When these points are stimulated you begin to feel more relaxed and energized. This technique has been known to change the structure of your body; resulting in a complete sense of well-being.
He is committed to, and enjoys learning about how the human body functions. He spends time taking various massage classes throughout the year, so that he can continue to aid you in improved over all health.
