Our Therapists
Steve Blasen
Owner & Lead Massage Therapist Stephen John Blasen, of Live Well Therapeutic Massage had a vision. After years of hard labor and raising four beautiful children in his home state of Michigan, Stephen wanted a change - a change of scenery, lifestyle, and career. With a kind heart, he sought out a career in the health field where he feels privileged to help others. He decided to go back to school and became a massage therapist and with his adventurous spirit, he decided to take his new found knowledge to California and start anew. Years later, Steve has not looked back. Steve explains, "When my clients tell me that I help relieve their pain, ailments, and injuries; I know I made the right career choice. It is a joy to see my client's health improve with the work that I do. I am grateful for the ability to help others improve their health through therapeutic massage.”
CHRIS HANEY
Chris Haney has always had a passion for learning about the human body and for helping people. After years of studying and teaching various traditional style martial arts, and the wear and tear that can bring to the body, Chris decided to switch his focus more to the healing side of life. So, in 2019 he began his journey to becoming a massage therapist. Now as a Certified Massage Therapist he uses his love of learning new skills and techniques to provide the best service he can to his clients. At Live Well Therapeutic Massage Chris knows that he can provide high quality service to his clients while continuing to grow and develop as a therapist.
“Life can be full of stress; mental, physical, and emotional. Stress held onto for too long hinders the healing process. My goal is to help my clients relieve some of that stress to facilitate the healing process.”
