About
Van Nguyen, LMT
Licensed Massage Therapist, LIC. MA109478.
My journey into the art of healing is as diverse as the techniques I practice. Born in Thailand and raised in Argentina as a refugee immigrant. After relocating to the United States to pursue my education and professional growth, I realized that massage was the common thread throughout my life—a universal language of recovery and connection that transcends borders.
From my early years in Thailand and Argentina to my professional life in the United States, I have seen how therapeutic massage can transform a person’s quality of life. I don’t just treat “knots”—I work with individuals to navigate their path toward better mobility and inner peace. My goal is to provide a professional, inclusive, and highly effective space where your body can finally find its balance.
My background allows me to pull from a unique toolkit, blending international certifications with a deep, intuitive understanding of the human body and it’s recovery.
Specialized Modalities
• Sports Massage: A dynamic approach tailored to athletes and active individuals. This technique focuses on preventing injury, improving flexibility, and accelerating recovery through targeted muscle work.
• Swedish Massage: The classic foundation of relaxation. Long, gliding strokes used to improve circulation, ease surface tension, and calm the nervous system.
• Yin Stretch & Yoga Integration: Fusing passive stretching with massage to release deep-seated tension in the connective tissues and improve overall mobility. My yoga-inspired movements will aid in improving joint mobility and release deep-seated tension in the muscles.
• Deep Tissue Massage (International Certification): Certified in advanced techniques from Argentina, and licensed in USA. I utilize specific, firm pressure to reach deeper muscle layers and fascia. This approach is highly effective for chronic pain, postural correction, and breaking down restrictive adhesions.
• Stone Massage: The use of heated stones to melt away muscle tightness and promote a profound state of relaxation and circulation.
• Lymphatic Drainage Massage: A gentle, rhythmic technique designed to stimulate the flow of lymph fluids, helping to detoxify the body, reduce swelling, and support a healthy immune system.
• Energetic Balance (Reiki Level 1 & 2): I integrate Usui Reiki into my sessions to harmonize the body’s energy, offering a bridge between physical relief and mental clarity.
