Aloha Massage, established in 2015, is located in downtown Truckee, CA and is the private practice of Truckee Massage Therapist Zoe Cahill Fernandes. 

Zoe has consistently been voted Best of North Lake Tahoe and Truckee by the readers of the Sierra Sun every year from 2017 to present in the massage therapy category. In addition, Aloha Massage was voted Best Massage Therapy practice in 2020 and 2021. Zoe has been providing quality professional bodywork in a variety of settings from high end luxury spas to the finishing line of the Kona Ironman since 2004 and has been focused on private practice here in Truckee since 2015.  

Skilled in customizing individualized, unique and effective body treatments, Zoe incorporates a wide variety of modalities such as Lomi Lomi, Swedish, Sports, Myofascial Release, Reflexology, Polarity, Cupping, Lymphatic drainage and Craniosacral therapies into her sessions in order to ease common aches, pains, strains and acute injuries as well as address chronic pain, tension and soft tissue dysfunction.  Acute injuries, post surgical clients or sensitive clients will benefit from gentle pressure and modalities that stimulate your bodies' natural healing responses. Athletes may enjoy a more vigorous sports treatment including moving cupping, passive stretching and a variety of sports techniques depending on what phase of training they are in. 
 
Most recently Zoe has begun incorporating Somatic experiencing into her work. Currently in her 2nd year as Intermediate level student of the professional program through Somatic Experiencing International. Zoe is Integrating supportive bodywork with SE and offering clients a body based approach to work together towards ease and regulation in a safe and supportive setting. Somatic experiencing has been known to be helpful in easing physical symptoms associated with chronic pain, stress, anxiety, overwhelm and depression as well as growing capacity to live a fuller and more vital life.

After almost 20 years as a bodyworker it has become increasingly apparent to Zoe  that often what shows up as patterns of discomfort and pain in our bodies is actually rooted in unresolved responses in our physiology and nervous system. Working collaboratively with clients and at times other health care professionals to process stored stress and trauma can be transformational. Healing in this way can result in more physical and emotional ease as well as the ability to show up in so many aspects of life with vitality and in a more embodied way. Benefits of Somatic Experiencing can positively affect sports performance, increase mobility and decrease pain levels as well as increase an overall sense of connectedness to ourselves and within relationships. 

Whatever your needs may be you can be assured that Zoe will work with you toward meeting your goals.
