Cancellation Policy:

We respectfully request that any schedule changes – cancellation, reschedule, etc. – be communicated to the office no less than 48 hours before your scheduled appointment as it is very difficult for us to fill a therapist’s openings within a 48-hour window. Any cancellations after that window has passed as well as anyone who does not show for their scheduled appointment within the first 10 minutes will be considered a “no-show” and will be subject to our $5500 no show fee. Thank you for your understanding and consideration in this matter. We do understand that life gets messy and there are times when a 48-hour notice is not feasible, in these cases please notify us as soon as possible and our office will work with you in regards to this policy.

MeZzo Mya Steam
WA License# MA00025152

MeZzo graduated from the Soma Institute of Structural Integration in 2007 but has been massaging others since they were a child in elementary school. Their work builds on the innovative work of Dr. Ida P. Rolf; a technique known as “Rolfing.” MeZzo strives to provide lasting results through the powerful form of advanced myofascial release massage that immobilizes fascia and integrates new patterns of movement. Their work is very slow and can be deep, but your muscles and breath determine the depth. They have been at it long enough to know that there’s no need for anyone to get hurt during a massage. Instead of being worked on, they like to think you’re being worked with.
Aside from massage, their biggest loves in life are being immersed in nature, being inspired by music to dance in new ways and collaborating with others in the creation process.

What is Acupressure?
Acupressure uses gentle pressure to stimulate specific points on the body to help with healing and the cultivation of health. Each point has different properties, and selecting the proper ones for your current issues can have profound effects on your healing and wellness. Like acupuncture, it is based on traditional east Asian medicine, dating back over 2000 years. The difference is with acupuncture needles are used, but with acupressure, while the same points are stimulated, there are no needles involved.
