Marisa Hernandez is a seasoned bodyworker with two decades of experience in massage therapy and the Founder of Body Escapes. Specializing in sports massage and stretch therapy, her extensive background is complemented by a deeply personal journey as a survivor of stage 3 cancer, which has profoundly influenced her approach to healing and wellness.

​

Marisa’s battle with cancer as well as the loss of both her parents in a short time has deepened her understanding of the body’s resilience and healing capabilities. This experience has enriched her practice, allowing her to bring a unique perspective and a deep sense of empathy to her work. Touch can be an amazing medicine and offers improved circulation, improved range of motion and a happier you.

Marisa began her career working for two chiropractic offices, Back to Health and Marina Wellness, to gain experience and knowledge. Throughout her career, she has worked with people from all walks of life, from professional athletes – including Oakland Raiders and Golden State Warriors – to those looking to eliminate everyday aches and pains, tailoring her approach to meet each person’s unique needs. Her sports massage techniques are designed to enhance performance, aid recovery and prevent injuries, ensuring you stay at the top of your game.
