Neuromuscular Therapy, which is a scientific therapy based on anatomical laws and physiological principles. It pays very close attention to alignment, condition of soft tissue, and the release of adhesions and restrictions throughout the body, and can help eliminate many medical problems, large and small, through working on trigger points (pressure points) found throughout the body.

Olga practices, teaches and continually studies therapeutic massage with the utmost dedication and passion. She attended and graduated from the well-regarded Academy of Somatic Healing Arts (ASHA) in Atlanta, GA. Upon graduation, she was immediately offered a rare position at the school as an assistant teacher and then a full-time teacher. Over time Olga evolved her technique by integrating the best from different massage modalities - Deep Tissue, Clinical Sports Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Swedish and Thai Massage - as well as her work with chiropractors and studies leading to teaching yoga and Pilates.

Olga also pays close attention to the comfort level of her clients, with nurturing and sensitive therapeutic touch. She attributes that attention to her finely detailed studies and career as a classically trained pianist. Olga says, "The same focus of mind and touch that are used to create intricate and beautiful music on the piano, can be applied to the practice of therapeutic massage."
