Abiola’s approach to bodywork is deeply rooted in lived experience and holistic wisdom. Raised in a household where wellness was a way of life, he was introduced early on to natural healing and preventative care. His grandmother, a master gardener, grew much of the fresh produce he ate as a child and instilled in him an appreciation for food as medicine. His mother reinforced this philosophy with a focus on herbal and vitamin supplementation, and often used Shiatsu techniques to ease stress and muscular tension, planting the seeds of hands-on healing that would later become his profession.

As a lifelong martial artist, former track-and-field sprinter, and occasional daredevil, Abiola brings a personal, embodied understanding of the body in motion, and what it takes to recover from injury. Having faced and overcome multiple knee and shoulder injuries himself, he has developed a keen awareness of pain management, functional movement, and the importance of long-term recovery strategies.

This holistic background informs Abiola’s eclectic and highly effective massage style, which draws from a wide range of therapeutic disciplines. His sessions blend elements of Shiatsu, Neuromuscular Therapy, Active/Passive Release Techniques, Assisted and Thai-Style Stretching, Reflexology, and Myoskeletal Alignment Technique. Every session is fully customized to meet your specific needs, whether you're addressing chronic pain, limited mobility, or athletic recovery.

If necessary, Abiola may conduct a postural or movement assessment before your session to determine the most effective course of treatment. His goal is to relieve tension by releasing tight, restricted fascia, lengthening muscle tissue, and promoting overall structural balance throughout the body. Following your session, he may provide personalized self-care stretches to support your healing process and help you maintain progress at home.
