Massage Therapy

Paul T. Wehrman
Licensed Massage Therapist

"My work combines the therapeutic effectiveness of Deep Tissue Massage with the flowing, integrative qualities of Esalen Massage. Working with the body's deeper soft tissue layers through palpation and assisted stretching, chronic tension patterns and previously dense, hardened tissues are encouraged to unwind, releasing reservoirs of life energy and vitality to promote optimal functioning. This deep work is then supported with long, integrating strokes, creating an experience of deep relaxation, further facilitating the natural ability of body and mind to self heal."

Paul lived and studied in-residence at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA. for 2 yrs. Along with teaching and assisting workshops at Esalen, he is also a current practitioner on staff for the Healing Arts Department.

"I greatly appreciate all movement and art forms that challenge us to explore the deeper layers within ourselves and move us beyond mental limitations. My intention as a Yoga teacher and Bodyworker is to evoke deeply nurturing, transformative experiences. Within the dynamic and subtle energy waves inherent in the nature of existence, there are pathways to endless Self-discovery. Healing begins when we are committed to being present and compassionate with ourselves."
