John Hanron
Licensed Massage Therapist
MA60101600
John believes in the body’s natural ability to heal itself, and sees his role in creating a safe and nurturing space for that to happen. Integrating classic Swedish massage and deep tissue work with Reiki and craniosacral techniques, John works slowly and with focused intention and heart energy to transport his clients to a deep level of relaxation. Combining intuitive touch with a keen sense of anatomy, he can help dysfunctional muscles let go and return to a more natural state of freedom.
Before starting his massage practice in 2009, John worked as a bicycle messenger, retail clerk, carpenter, emergency medical technician, mountain guide, ski patroller, photojournalist and newspaper editor. He graduated with honors from Port Townsend School of Massage, commuting over the mountains to school while running a small community weekly newspaper in the Methow Valley of North Central Washington. After hanging his shingle in his small mountain town, he continued to make the 200-mile drive weekly across the Cascades to do massage therapy and help manage a hydrotherapy spa in Snohomish, before moving to Seattle and opening solo practices on Capitol Hill and Fremont.
John is the founder and manager of Sacred Rain Healing Center.

Erica Sherman
Licensed Massage Therapist
MA60708705
Erica has been massaging professionally since 2016 and prides herself in working with the least amount of emollient possible. Her background in aerial performance and dance has helped her isolate which muscle groups need extra time for more focused attention all while addressing client-specific needs.
Erica was born in Hawaii but spent her first few years growing up in Japan. Thus Japanese was technically her first language and she then learned English by watching Disney movies. If she's not massaging she is probably busy doing circus arts via hoop, fabric, trapeze or sling.

Yoga teachers
Jackie Quattrocchi
Becoming a yogi was not something Jackie set out to do. Like others, she stumbled upon yoga, first practicing postures as the result of a gift from a friend. She soon learned from taking this time for herself that one hour set apart in the day to breathe and center made all of the difference in how she interacted with herself, family and others.
After practicing in an Iyengar studio first, she noticed the complementary nature of yoga to other activities like cycling, rock climbing and hiking. Using the breath was a powerful tool, and became even more important for resting after long strenuous days outdoors. When the pressure of losing a job, going through a divorce, and raising a daughter alone could have knocked her down, she found her mat again and yin yoga for respite.
Yin yoga is a deep steep, providing the ability to massage internal organs and drop into the subtle places where the soul really speaks. The ability to stay in a pose for 3 to 5 minutes and really feel what stillness can be a welcome break.
With 400 hours of training through CorePower Yoga, a soon-to-be-completed 500-hour certification through Eight Limbs Yoga Centers, and countless continuing education hours, Jackie feels geared up for all upcoming fitness, teaching, and life challenges.
Currently, Jackie is a teacher of Vinyasa, Hatha, Renew, Yin, Kids, and subtle body work (Master level Reiki) in and around Seattle. Jackie's goal is to inspire students to get in touch with themselves through readings, assists, and sequencing so that they can take their yoga off the mat in a positive way. Her teaching schedule is located at http://www.myasana2go.com. Additionally, check out her blog posts at http://www.myasana2go.com/blog to read more.
Jackie’s Yin yoga classes are Monday nights at Sacred Rain from 7pm-8pm weekly.
