Inspired by a Massage Inventor

After receiving her bachelor of arts at the University of Puget Sound in 2007, Sunshine moved to Hawaii to pursue her passion for raw food, yoga and massage. While touring the Big Island on bicycle, she met Benjamin Marantz, founder of AcroSage. After she attended her first AcroSage workshop, her life was forever changed. She had never felt more healthy in her body and she decided she wanted to give everyone this experience. After that realization she headed down a focused path of avidly practicing AcroSage and experimenting with yoga and massage. She became Benjamin Marantz's most committed apprentice and together they co-wrote, co-produced the AcroSage™ instructional manual & DVD for the AcroSage™ technique. Benjamin Marantz sparked the very beginning of her massage career and his creative influence set the stage for Sunshine to go on and create her own modalities.

Massage Innovation

Sunshine brings deep presence to all her healing sessions with one clear goal: to deliver unconditional nurturing, compassion and generosity.  Clients melt under her touch and guidance and every session is unique. Sunshine blends her favorite, proven-effective techniques while constantly improvising new massage poses with every client. Using her entire being, soaking in the inspiration of the moment and feeling for what the client's body needs, she dives into a creative process that reveals a diversity of pressures, textures, sensations, modalities, nuances, rhythms, musical sound waves, mental empowerment and total body liberation. She aims to inspire positivity, balance, optimism, and innovation in those that she touches. 

Sunshine finds personal healing and growth using Emotional Freedom Technique, self massage, and relieving stress in daily life to address pain in the body. She works with clients to establish a healthy lifestyle and maintain good habits at home.

Sunshine's Unique Creations

Inspired by the freedom and creativity of Marantz, Sunshine branched off and started creating her own modalities. Since mastering the AcroSage™ technique, Sunshine created Yogasage (the fusion of a yoga vinyasa practice with a compassionate deep tissue practice), Aerial Yogasage /Aerial Silk Massage (the fusion of aerial yoga, and a deep tissue massage practice), Yoga Swing Massage (massaging a client while inverted in an omni-gym padded yoga swing), and inevitably Sunshine Therapy™- (the accumulation and total fusion of all her massage inventions).  She also combines mind reprogramming, sound healing, and breath-work in unique ways throughout her sessions.
