Carmela Velarde
Director of Attune Wellness & Yoga, Carmela is a talented, highly intuitive Massage Therapist. Through assessment and thorough consultation she can achieve a significant positive energy shift at the completion of each and every session. Specific to clients’ health needs and with reference from her extensive course study at the Swedish Institute, she integrates Western forms of bodywork such as Swedish deep-tissue massage, myofascial techniques, polarity and trigger point therapy with Eastern forms of bodywork such as Five-Element Shiatsu, Tuina, and Thai massage therapies.
From an Eastern perspective she emphasizes the flow of Qi, or energy throughout the meridians in the body to release blockages from lifestyle stress. She focuses on personal intuition and discussion of the information gained to make every client aware of the mind, body and spirit balance to foster holistic awareness with the intention of the client being the master of his/her own healing. "We are all powerful beings that require a professional hand to walk us through the valleys of despair. We are our own best friends and greatest enemies. Create the relationship with yourself that you've always desired in another. Treat yourself with gentle love and respect your ancestral purpose. All you want is already yours."
