Licensed bodyworkers
John Hanron
Licensed Massage Therapist
MA60101600
John (he/him) 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 long, slow myofascial strokes with Swedish and deep tissue work, along 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 across the mountains to school while running a small community weekly newspaper in the Methow Valley of North Central Washington. After hanging his shingle in the idyllic mountain town of Twisp, he continued to make the cross-Cascades trip weekly to do massage therapy and help manage a hydrotherapy spa in Snohomish. He also established solo practices on Capitol Hill and in Fremont.
John is the founder and manager of Sacred Rain Healing Center.

Renata Padilha
Licensed Massage Therapist
MA60255486
During her pregnancy in Hawaii in 2008 Renata fully realized the importance of health and wellness. She has always loved the idea of what massage therapy can do for one’s well-being as a natural way to create balance to the body and mind. She attended massage school a few years later in Seattle and learned natural ways of nurturing the body. Helping people become free of pain through touch is fascinating and is definitely on her life path.
Her massage style has a "heart-felt touch" because she works with compassion at the center of every session. Her ten years of experience working with clients in a chiropractic clinic, sports rehabilitation and spas has allowed her to create a good sense of what the body needs with pressure and technique.
She is honored to get to know you and treat your body temple.

Emilie Garzon
Licensed Massage Therapist
MA61189108
Emilie (she/they) was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and recently relocated to Seattle from Florida. She speaks fluent Spanish and English equally. Habla Inglés y Español con fluidez por igual. She began studying massage therapy in 2018 and began her journey at a resort spa on Sanibel Island for two years; it was there that she found her passion for making people feel amazing in their bodies. Before every massage she sets an intention to bring healing, peace, and serenity to every single person that she works with, and holds an environment that will make you feel safe, heard, and valued. Emilie is best suited for those seeking to come out of the 'fight or flight' state that most of us are in on a daily basis using broad palliative strokes to gently guide the body into a parasympathetic nervous system state where physical and energetic healing can take place. Emilie carries her belief and knowledge of reiki into all of her treatments using her hands as a channel for physical pain relief, emotional restoration, or simply a moment of peace. She looks forward to serving the community of Ballard and bringing a new level of restoration to all of her clients.
Jacqueline Blackmore
Licensed Massage Therapist

Jacqueline's massage style is for those looking to slow down and come back into their body. She loves working with first time massage clients and opening people up to the incredible and diverse world of body work.

Kat Murray
Licensed Massage Therapist
MA61248975
Kat (She/They) is a nurturing massage therapist that is passionate about creating a safe space for people to rest and ground into their bodies. Her massage is gentle yet firm, slow and heart-centered. She believes that for healing to happen within massage, clients should not experience pain. However, she will collaborate with you to find a depth that is both satisfying and useful. Sessions are led by intuition, a trauma-informed lens, and whatever wisdom the body is opening to sharing. Their work incorporates Swedish, Myofascial, Neuromuscular, Deep Tissue, and Reiki techniques all founded with a thorough understanding of muscle anatomy. They received their education through Discovery Point School of Massage and continue to mentor under Dawn Schmidt of Four Winds Massage in Greenlake. Kat continues to explore the process of "Integrating Advanced Techniques for Holistic Therapeutic Outcomes".
