Chozu's Experienced & Professional Therapists

Chandrika (Eniko) Galbacs
LMT# 17473

Being eclectic and artistic comes naturally to me. Diverse influences from my life flow into my practice of massage, resulting in treatments that are deeply therapeutic and restful, containing elements of the spiritual, bringing many clients in touch with their deeper wellsprings. An ethnic Hungarian from Eastern Europe by birth and East Indian in spirit, I graduated from The Ashmead School of Massage in Everett, WA and have had a massage business in Europe.

Caryn Jacobson

As a graduate of Seattle Massage School class of 97', Caryn's education included a wide range of deep tissue and muscle unwinding techniques. After massaging ten years in Washington State, she continued her studies and practice in the Rogue Valley. Each session focuses on myofascial fluid mobilization to release and soften any stressful restrictions and alleviate muscle tension.

 

"The goal after a massage with me is that your body will feel relaxed harmonized, and revived."
