Anna Jao

Anna is a lifelong athlete and martial artist whose passion and curiosity around the movement of the human body led her to pursue a path in massage therapy. As a former mechanical engineer with a B.S. from Cornell University, she brings a highly technical approach to troubleshooting the amazing system that is the human body. She graduated with honors from the National Holistic Institute's 1250-hour Core Massage and Advanced Neuromuscular Therapy program. Her work is based on a combination of academic and clinical rigor as well as her personal experiences with movement performance, pain, and injury management. A bodywork session with Anna is a collaboration between therapist and patient that explores the root causes of why your nervous system is holding pain and tension. You will walk away with a new awareness, understanding, and appreciation for what your body can do. She is excited to help you regain freedom in your body to do the things that make you want to move!
