Randel arrived from the Philippines in 2019, in hopes to pursue a career in massage therapy.

Randel specializes in treating and massaging people for better mobility and movement. For Randel, massaging is a great way to promote relaxation, relieve muscle tension, and improve circulation. He is experienced in focusing on the areas of tension or pain, such as the neck, shoulders, back, and legs. Focus on these areas by kneading and using circular movements helps release tension. Randel particularly specializes in treatment for the elderly and seniors.
Overall, Randel is excellent at promoting relaxation and improving your overall well-being and is always gentle, respectful, and attentive to your needs and limitations when it comes to massage therapy. He enjoys seeing how a massage therapy treatment can really makes a difference in people’s lives.
He utilizes the five basic massage movements which are effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, friction, and vibration. Each of these movements is designed to provide a different type of massage experience.
