Embodiwork Studio for Integrative Massage

About Us

Embodiwork Studio for Integrative Massage, Inc. provides therapeutic bodywork for individuals experiencing muscle related pain; helping them to mend and prevent injuries, so they can continue to do the activities they love, and feel better than they have in years.

Embodwork was founded by Shalene Maestas-Zarate. She and her husband-business partner, entrepreneurial father, artist mother, and community of supporters have created a beautiful haven for relaxation and restoration, by providing the highest quality in body-care.

After nearly a decade in a half practicing massage, 6 of which were running a wellness center, Shalene re-located and re-invented her vision. This is her "phoenix".
