About Me

Lisa Acosta, California State Certified Massage Therapist (#15790). I’ve been practicing in the Los Angeles / San Gabriel / Pasadena-Foothill area since 2008. My style of massage therapy is medical massage combined with the concepts of myofascial release (MFR). I am a caring intuitive professional massage / myofascial therapist.  

Currently, I have over 600 hours in massage education through Southern California Health Institute (formerly IPPT), 300+ hours through the Hands of Healing Institute, and various Independent CEUs / self-study.

While I know many massage and myofascial modalities, I mix and match them to best serve my client during a session. This approach has proved effective in bringing pain relief and relaxation to my clients which has earned me their respect and loyalty.

On a personal level, I embrace a holistic lifestyle. I believe in the natural healing powers of massage / myofascial therapy which eases medication (pharmaceutical) dependency. I also lead an athletic lifestyle by keeping my body fit, my mind active and engaged, and practice daily meditation. Starting in 2004 to date, I pledged myself in the world of endurance sports and began living the lifestyle of an athlete. I have finished 12 marathons, 2 Ultra marathons, 2 Ironman Triathlons, 3 century bike rides and countless Olympic and Half Ironman distance triathlons. I am passionate about learning and constantly expanding my knowledge base through massage / myofascial workshops and personal holistic growth seminars.
