Testimonials:
“Alok practices with total balance. While he is a tender, warm and open soul, he has great strength and power in massage. He listened to what I asked for, but he also listen to what my body needed. He used the perfect amount of pressure, exactly what I needed.
I walked away from my session with Alok feeling in my body, connected to the earth, and powerful. Additionally I felt refreshed and relaxed. A true act of a balanced healer.
I highly recommend Alok, and his brilliant work!” – EK
“Alok is the best massage therapist I’ve ever worked with. He is continually learning to improve his craft. He is calm, welcoming, tuned in, and very attentive. His hands work magic and if I’m going to take the time to schedule a massage with him I try to make it for two hours, he’s that good. A massage with him is like a restorative yoga session, massage, and spiritual nap in all one. Simply wonderful.” – Sara P.
“The reason I love Rockwater Healing Arts is because it’s so individualized. From Thai Massage to yoga, meditation and acroyoga, Alok pays attention to my needs and crafts a truly personal practice while staying aware of physical limits. He is attentive, perceptive and extremely welcoming to all levels and ages. The space is beautiful- bright and relaxing for a balance between intensely healing deep tissue work and relaxing in savasana. I didn’t know that existed, but apparently it does!
Highly recommend.” -TL
I have had Thai massage before from a Thai woman (and very good at what she does) and Alok was even better. He moved me through a set of poses each with a very specific and direct application of pressure and stretch that culminated in complete realignment of my body. Alok moved fluidly and I was never stretched to a point of pain yet each “maneuver” built upon the last in what seemed liked he was folding me into a more perfect form of myself. When he was done, I unfolded with a great depth of relaxation but still very much energized from the experience. Thank you Alok.”
