Raya Otmanowski, LMT

(MI #7​5​0​1​0​1​6​0​8​4)

Aloha! Raya Otmanowski is a licensed massage therapist passionate about combining the healing benefits of Swedish/relaxation massage with goal-oriented therapeutic massage in her personalized bodywork sessions. She graduated from the credentialed 600-hour Massage Therapy program at Hawai’i Healing Arts College in 2022, and obtained her Michigan license through additional practice hours at Irene’s Myomassology Institute in Ann Arbor.

She is a firm believer in the body’s innate ability to heal itself - after having battled multiple injuries and diagnosis of her own, Raya is very grateful for the opportunity to now support clients on their own self-healing journey.

Raya’s journey into the world of physical and mental health began when she obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, and was primarily working with older adults and individuals with disabilities. As her fascination for the harmonious balance between body, mind, and spirit grew, as did her belief in the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Raya followed this passion and obtained her personal trainer certification and later facilitated stretch therapist certification.

Whether you are scheduling your first massage, or are an experienced receiver, Raya’s intuitive approach will have you melting in to the table. From soothing touch inspired by traditional Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, to targeted deep tissue techniques, her intuitive touch and personalized care ensure that every client feels deeply nurtured and revitalized.

Outside of massage, you can find Raya in the gym, doing any activity outdoors in the sun, cooking up locally-sourced dishes, thrifting, and volunteering in the community. Her commitment to holistic health extends beyond the massage table, as she continuously explores new ways to integrate nature’s remedies into her clients' lives.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat from daily stressors or relief from chronic discomfort, Raya’s holistic approach and heartfelt dedication promise an experience that honors both your body and spirit. Embrace the healing touch of Hawai’i and let her guide you to a place of profound relaxation and wellness.
