Genia Bonyun, Licensed Massage Therapist

At the heart of Balance Massage and Bodywork is Genia Bonyun, a licensed massage therapist with a profound commitment to her profession and a passion for empowering individuals to reclaim their health and vitality. Since earning her national license in 2009, Genia has dedicated herself to continuous learning, immersing herself in diverse training programs and staying abreast of the latest research in the field of massage therapy.

She honed her skills at the Lauterstein Conway Massage School in Austin, Texas, one of the nation's premier institutions for massage education, specializing in the Lauterstein Deep Massage Method. This comprehensive training, coupled with certifications in multiple bodywork modalities, has equipped Genia with a versatile toolkit to address a wide range of needs.

Genia's approach is not simply about physical manipulation; it is a journey of mindful connection. She believes in the inherent wisdom of the body and seeks to unlock its natural healing potential. Her sessions are characterized by a deep sense of presence, empathy, and a genuine desire to understand each client's unique story and concerns. Genia's bachelor's degree from Hampshire College further enriches her practice. Her self-designed focus in movement studies involved extensive research into the intricacies of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, Laban Movement Analysis, and the psychology of touch.

This interdisciplinary background allows her to approach massage therapy with a holistic lens, recognizing the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit.
