MEET OUR FOUNDER & HEAD BODYWORK PRACTITIONER
Ali Madrid Has Been Practicing Bodywork in Humboldt County since May 2017. 

Ali started massaging at the age of 12 when her mother was diagnosed with fibromyalgie and her brothers were playing sports and constantly getting hurt. When one of her brothers tore his ACL during a football game, the process of him in surgery and physical therapy fascinated her. She then chose to attend massage school immediately after graduating high school. Ali completed her training at the A DIamond Holistic Massage Institute in Pleasant Hill, CA in 2001. She recently completed the Personal Training Certification Program with International Sports Science Association (ISSA) in 2024.

Ali has worked with a range of clients including athletes, bodybuilders, seniors and youth but specializes in fitness recovery and corrective self-care for chronic/acute pain. She has gained a multitude of experience by working in a variety of clinics and spas, including a pain care clinic, chiropractic clinic, physical therapy clinic and multiple spas and salons but she's always returned to the therapeutic and clinical methods she's learned for the benefits she observed. Figuring out and addressing the root cause of her clients' acute/chronic pain quickly became her passion and she has dedicated her career to furthering this knowledge from every angle possible.

Ali enjoys days playing in the river and at the ocean, she homeschools her kiddo and she loves creating beautifully crafted natural personal care products. She is passionate about researching and nerding out on physical ailments that she does not have experience working with and finding methods and techniques that work to resolve them quickly and efficiently.
