Massage, Bodywork, Acupuncture & Yoga in 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.

About Clare

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 I have continued studying and developing my understanding of bodywork, movement and traditional 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 people managing pain from skeletal or muscular injuries, stiffness and tension, and those who simply need time to slow down, and adust 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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Energy Blockage Relief

Our organ systems communicate using electrical signals sometimes referred to as Prana, Sen, or Chi. Over time, these electrical pathways become blocked due to factors including:

  • toxins in the environment
  • poor health habits
  • drug consumption

When the nervous system is unable to communicate effectively because of blockages, larger issues may develop including:

  • pain
  • knots
  • poor digestion
  • headaches
  • stiffness
  • low energy levels

To maintain health, the body's energy channels need to flow freely and blockages removed. Thai massage is one method used to promote natural healing by releasing energy blockages.
