Massage, Bodywork, & Acupuncture Tamarindo

"When you feel balanced, you have health."

Massage & Bodywork

I offer acupuncture, massage, and personalized bodywork at a private clinic in Huacas, Costa Rica, serving clients from Tamarindo, Portreo, Playa Flamingo, Reserva Conchal and the surrounding area.

My approach is simple: listen to the body, and adapt each session to the individual. Whether you're looking to move more comfortably, recover from a skeletal or muscular injury, release tension, relax deeply, or simply reconnect with your body and breath, I create a supportive space to help you feel your best.

I started yoga when I was just 8 years old, and it has been part of my life ever since. Coming from a small family in the United State’s Midwest, I never imagined I’d be celebrating 6 years of living in Costa Rica.

I trained in Thai Massage in Thailand, and continue studying and developing my understanding of bodywork, movement, and ancient healing practices here in Costa Rica. I have also had the privilege of learning acupuncture under a teacher who became an important part of my journey and whose teachings I continue to carry with me.

Today, I enjoy working with pain management from skeletal or muscular injuries, stiffness and tension, emotional trauma, and those who simply need time to slow down, and adjust their cortisol levels.

I'm also a mom to a wonderful 2½-year-old son, so I understand how valuable it can be to have a little time to take care of yourself!

About Clare

A yoga class in session with students practicing poses, acupuncture therapy on a person's back, and a woman receiving assisted stretching on a yoga mat.

I work from a private clinic in Huacas, conveniently located near Tamarindo, Playa Concha, Playa Flamingo, Potrero, Villareal, and surrounding communities.

Because sessions are personalized, appointments are required. I will do home visits.
