From the luxurious DoubleTree Spa to your home, Astera Care’s newest employee Ann Haney gives massages that allow you to let go completely.

“It’s all about the pressure and the flow,” she explains. “The masseuse has to feel and sense what happens when she touches the client.”

Great voice

After a decade as a professional masseuse, Ann has joined Astera Care. When you call us, most of the time you will be met by her award-winning voice. Yes, you read correctly. Give us a call and listen to the voice that won a competition to represent a large travel company.

Apart from making sure that our office runs as smoothly as if everyone were coated in her fragrant oils, Ann offers our clients her in-home massage services. It’s not your regular 60-minute squeeze and rub.

Breathe deeper

“It’s a way of connecting with your own body, to come into ourselves. For some people, this is the only time they truly relax,” she says.

The benefits are many. She adapts her particular style to each client. The amount of pressure, they way she works on the different body parts. You come out feeling renewed and fresh, with both physical and mental relaxation. Your skin and muscles are stimulated, your breath deeper and more energy-giving.

“Often it is also a way to help the body and mind let go of emotional and psychological baggage. I am very sensitive to energies and can feel when they finally release. It can be very therapeutic,” says Ann who has worked on victims of both serious physical and emotional trauma.

Masseuse of the stars

I always heard that I was a natural at massaging. I became a professional because I love the personal interaction with clients.

After graduating from The Santa Barbara Body Therapy Institute in 2000, Ann has worked for The Spine Center, a physical therapist and several top-end spas like Qui Si Bella and The DoubleTree where she worked on Hollywood stars and executives, professional football players and other famous athletes.

“It’s all about getting the right connection with the client,” says Ann. “That is when I reach the deepest and really get the work done. It feels great.”
