WHO I AM

ANDREA

I’m Andrea, an Italian guy who worked for many years in marketing and advertising but I always had the desire to dedicate himself to something different that would fill his life more.

My first contact with the world of massage came in 2015 because of the need to try and reduce the stress caused by work and the tensions of everyday life. Californian massage has been my first love and the beginning of everything, generating passion for something unknown to me before.

From there I started to train in different massage techniques, personal work and experiences.

Andrea is the best in the city! I see him every month and he easily adjusts the massage to how you need it. He has fantastic techniques and you always leave feeling super relaxed and refreshed, the room always has a calming scent aswell as light relaxing music in the backround, Holis bodywork is the definition of a true sensory experience.
