About

Marek Rafalo, LMT

With a strong foundation in advanced massage therapy and a deep interest in integrative bodywork, I provide individualized therapeutic sessions focused on supporting the body’s natural self-regulation and healing processes.

My clinical work includes Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, and Asian Bodywork techniques, allowing me to address physical tension, nervous system dysregulation, and functional imbalances in a gentle and effective way.

I am dedicated to helping clients achieve pain relief, improved mobility, emotional balance, and overall well-being through a personalized and holistic approach to care. Each session is tailored to the client’s unique needs and focused on restoring balance within the nervous system and the body as a whole.

  • Visceral Manipulation (Abdominal)

  • Asian Bodywork Techniques

  • Somatic & Nervous System Regulation

  • Non-surgical bodywork methods

I strive to create a safe, professional, and nurturing environment where clients can experience deep relaxation, improved body awareness, and long-term therapeutic benefits.
