The Gated Sanctuary, Centre for Healing 



Renata Padilha

I always love the idea of what massage therapy can do for our wellbeing as a natural way to create balance to the body and mind. It was in Hawaii back in 2008 during my pregnancy when I realized the importance of health and wellness. Learning natural ways of nurturing the body, I discovered the benefits of massage. To me, helping people become free of pain through my touch is fascinating and I decided to attend massage school a few years later here in Seattle.

This is my life path and I love it!

I describe my massage style as "heart-felt touch" because I work with compassion in every session I do. My seven years of experience working with clients in a chiropractic clinic, sport rehabilitation, and spas has allowed me to create a good sense of what the body needs as far as pressure and techniques. I always use a relaxing approach.

I will be honored to get to know you and treat your body temple. Be blessed today and always! I hope to see you soon.

Having more than 20 years experience, Inga is a Master Massage Therapist

I have been at the Gated Sanctuary since September 2015. My massage practice started after graduating from Brennekke in 1998. I consider my massage techniques to be mostly therapeutic combined with lighter relaxing work near the end of the massage. My history of continuing education consists of Thai Massage, Lomi Lomi Massage, Ashi Autsu Massage, and Sports Massage.

I have been active in sports for many years. This has given me valuable insight in helping care for people that have sports-related injuries. And having had chronic headaches much of my life has provided a personal and compassionate perspective in treating my clients who suffer from them too. I take great pride in being able to help my clients heal through therapeutic massage.
