Lisa A. Harpavich, LMBT, RYT-200

Like most folks in the healing arts field, I was also once stuck behind a desk in a rat maze of cubicles, working as a graphic designer, in the soul-sucking corporate world for 17 years in Ohio. After being laid off from my last position of 10 years, I found myself in a forced surrender situation which became the start of my newfound journey. I am now so grateful for being laid off, and what came to follow. I went from being immersed at a yoga retreat in the paradise of Costa Rica to moving to the magical mountains of Asheville, NC. Fate has led me here to find my true loves, and my true calling of becoming a healing arts practitioner. I manifested what I wanted and the universe answered. I found my partner in life, got married, gave birth to a beautiful boy, then became a yoga instructor, and a massage and bodywork therapist.

My most vivid massage style is Myofascial Swedish, working in a slow deep movement while assessing the body’s fascial and muscular structure. Moving forward from there, I like to pinpoint areas of need and tightness to help relax and release muscle tension by using an array of massage techniques customized to your body. While working deeply with the nervous system, the parasympathetic division is gently activated during massage sessions to enhance your therapeutic experience. I have been trained in Shiatsu, Thai, Reflexology, Deep Tissue, Swedish, Prenatal (spa certified), Reiki (USUI/TIBETAN REIKI RYOHO Reiki Master, view lineage here) and CranioSacral therapy. I have years of experience in numerous spa settings and look forward to crafting a unique integrative session for my clients. I am also a certified yoga instructor specializing in yin and restorative yoga, further enhancing my knowledge of anatomy, stretching, and self-care. I am very passionate about providing clients with the best possible experience of massage and bodywork. If you would like to book an appointment, please contact me below.
