Alex Weber

Alex’s journey into bodywork was profoundly influenced by a major pelvic reconstructive surgery she underwent at twenty-one, which ignited her passion for aiding others in their healing journeys. Over recent years, she has immersed herself in both modern and traditional techniques, studying in classrooms and temples across Southeast Asia. Her expertise includes Swedish, deep tissue massage, structural integration, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, craniosacral therapy, Thai massage, and energy work.

In her practice, Alex blends these modalities to craft personalized treatments that ensure lasting results. Drawing from her experiences as an athlete, surfer, and backpacker, she has a keen understanding of identifying and effectively addressing trigger points during your body massage.

Given her personal history with injuries and surgeries, Alex’s primary passion as a massage therapist in Santa Cruz lies in recovery, particularly in holistic scar tissue and adhesion release. She offers therapeutic techniques such as Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Microcurrent Point Stimulation Therapy (MPS), which integrate principles from acupuncture and modern neurological science. This comprehensive approach aids in healing both the body and mind.
