With the use of her forearms and hands she creates fluid, rhythmic motions achieving a deep sense of harmony and balance both mentally and physically.
Back and neck pain, shoulder tension, tension headaches, sciatic pain, stubborn knots and general muscle tension is greatly relieved and loosened. Astrid uses gentle, yet deep and detailed work and firm pressure while incorporating trigger point, myofascial release and stretches.

Vlad
Licensed Acupuncturist, Dipl.O.M.
Bio
Vlad started his career in the medical field in 1984 when he became a medical student in St. Petersburg Military Medical Academy. After graduating he practiced as Medical Doctor and Radiologist in the former Soviet Union.
Vlad became interested in Chinese Medicine in the late 1980s. It was fascinating to him that the needling of specific points on the body can produce certain, often amazing results. It was hard to believe until Vlad experienced acupuncture himself. And after practicing as M.D. for 14 years he realized the limitiations of the Western medical approach especially in the treatment of chronic conditions.
This understanding led him to continuing studies in nutrition, diet and detoxification which brought about changes in the way he was practicing medicine. He also enrolled in the American College of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine in Houston, TX to study Chinese Medicine. During and after his studies he also expanded his knowledge of different acupuncture techniques, such as ones by Master Tung and Dr. Tan and Distal Needling Acupuncture which he incorporates into his current practice and feels that they can work better and sometimes faster for specific internal ailments and chronic pain.
Chris
Spa Manager
Bio
My hope is to be a friendly and calming presence that guides you through your blossoming. I have been a part of the Blossom family for over 2 years and have worked with a large number of our therapists. This experience makes me confident that I can suggest therapists that can
most benefit you. Give us a call, tell me what your needs are and I’ll be happy to help. I managed Massage Envy locations for 3 years. I loved being able to watch people transform through the power of massage but I didn’t like having to sell a membership to them afterward.
This would normally disturb people’s peace and I felt awful. I’m so happy to be at Blossom because here we do not pressure you into commitments. We can just focus on providing a relaxing and healing sanctuary. I can’t wait to witness your betterment through massage.
