Meet Carmen

01Massage Therapist

David Neely

David studied massage in San Diego, California, at the International College of Holistic Studies. It was there that he came to learn how massage goes beyond touch. Healing your physical body brings you to a space of wholeness, and from there you can go out into the world and touch others with your gifts, too.

He combines his experience as a massage therapist, personal trainer, yoga teacher, and sound healer into one session. That means deep tissue and Swedish bodywork informed by breathwork, movement, and sound. A holistic approach that leaves you refreshed and rejuvenated.

Whether you’re working through an old injury or just need an hour to unwind, you’re in good hands with David.

03Massage Therapist

William Burgstiner

William graduated from the Atlanta School of Massage and has practiced massage in Asheville for five years.

He specializes in Swedish massage and deep tissue techniques that leave you centered, relaxed, and rejuvenated. William also understands the importance of stretching and body maintenance, with additional experience in neuromuscular therapy, sports massage, and spa therapies.

He builds each session around the individual: postural deviations, muscular tension, and level of stress. He wants every client to leave the table feeling refreshed, light, and as pain free as possible.

William is passionate about people and being connected with individuals as part of a greater community. Massage is his way of serving that passion.
