Jennifer Alviso, Certified Massage Therapist

Jennifer Alviso is a graduate of the National Holistic Institute, with over 700 hours experience in Swedish, Shiatsu, deep tissue, trigger point, and myofascial therapy. Before becoming a massage therapist, Jennifer worked several years as a structural engineer, where she learned that Pacific Heights has better soil than the Marina, Eichler homes are challenging to retrofit, and life behind a computer can take a serious toll on the body. The aches and pains that came with extensive computer work made Jennifer a frequent visitor of Bay Area spas, a believer in the healing power of massage therapy, and ultimately a student of the National Holistic Institute. She has since dedicated herself to helping people with work-related bodily stress feel great again.

skin care therapist ~  Jill Jodar, Licensed Esthetician

Jill blends the science of skincare and touch to achieve customized and realistic goals in a comfortable, non-judgemental environment.

For over a decade, her practice has had two primary areas of focus:
Skincare: While her treatments are uniquely formulated to the specific needs of each client’s skin, Jill also takes great care to customize the experience that each client receives. Whether designing a program and home care regimen, or simply giving a client time to relax and unplug, her services are results-oriented and take into account important factors such as stress levels, time, budget and lifestyle.

Brow Design: Jill’s brow design is based on one simple principal: one shape does not fit all. Her work is not simply a “brow wax or tweeze” but a subtle, artistic reshaping of the face, taking into account natural growth pattern, bone structure, feature size, and overall symmetry.

Jill takes advantage of the wealth of post-graduate educational opportunities available in the Bay Area. She prides herself on staying up to date not only on new treatments and product technology, but developments in cosmetic dermatology and medical fields as well.

acupuncturist & nutritional therapist ~  Anna Hsieh Gold, Licensed Acupuncturist

Anna Hsieh Gold, L.Ac, MTOM received her masters degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Emperor’s College in Santa Monica. Her clinical experience includes internships at ECTOM clinic and the Arthur Ashe Medical Center at UCLA. She also worked as a technical supervisor at Emperor’s College Clinic.

Anna began her investigation into the healing arts as a comparative literature and pre-med undergrad at UC Berkeley. Since 1993, she has been an ardent yoga practitioner and a teacher of yoga asana since 1999. She incorporates her love of yoga and ayurveda with the healing modalities of Chinese medicine.

A strong proponent of organic healing, Anna believes, “When the body is balanced, it heals itself. It is when we live in a society that facilitates overwork, over-stimulation and stress, that we stop recognizing our inner voice and the mechanism that keeps the body in harmony.” Holistic healing helps the body tune back in with its natural state of bliss and balance.
