about
us
The mood and presence of Belisama Bodyworks is unusual and worth explaining. We are a group of massage therapists who work together to create a space that is welcoming, positive, and relaxing. We consider our work to be “world peace, one body at a time” (to quote Milton Trager). Each of us has a unique style, and yet we all find unity in our impulse of caring, compassionate healing. Belisama is a "woman owned business" and Suzanne deeply cares about the people who receive treatments here, and all of the dedicated people who work here.
​
Massage can be a very effectictive treatment. The list of treatable conditions and effects of massage is quite long. For more information check out amtamassage.org.
We encourage you to read our bios, and to come back & try different sessions with each of us – you’ll never get the same massage twice! But you’ll always leave feeling more centered, more relaxed, and clearer about why it is you do what you do. Come and see what makes us so special.
