Beatriz Panaigua

About Beatriz:

Beatriz spent the majority of her life growing up in big cities. Born in San Francisco and raised in Mexico City. She was already a graduate of NHI having completed their 700hr program in 2001. Her previous background was Fitness Instructor but one day she felt 'called' to massage. She visited NHI and was enrolled to start two days later. She has never looked back and continues to pursue this gift and calling. In 2006 Beatriz decided to move, Ojai and began working at the Ojai Valley Inn, after having spent the first 5 years after graduating working as a chiropractic assistant in San Francisco with one of the best doctors in the city. This experience and continued studies allowed her to have an intimate understanding of the body and the needs of a body that is experiencing pain and discomfort. Beatriz then carried this knowledge into the understanding of the emotional and somatic component of how we 'carry' our pain and memories. The body truly does keep the score. Over the years and with the extensive training at Spa Ojai she was able to really develop her own unique signature touch, and bring a quality of luxury and peace to her sessions. Her approach is body led and intuitive. Creating a dialogue with her clients of their specific needs as well as what she calls "listening hands" in which the body is able to have a space for someone to listen. Her heart is to hold a safe space for the mind, body and soul to heal and unwind. Beatriz now calls Ventura home with her 2 children , her son that is 8 and daughter that is 5. In her free time you may catch her walking on the beach collecting sea glass. Chasing after her kids at the park, or simply curled up with a book and a warm cup of tea.
