Relief after massage lasts a few hours, then everything starts again?
For most people, the reason is the same:
what hurts is not where the problem is.
The real root of pain may be hiding in deep fascia, nerve pathways, overtensioned triggers, or lymphatic stagnation. And until that root is found — no massage will give lasting results.
That's why I start not with a procedure, but with diagnostics.
If this resonates with you — I invite you to a Body & Energy Diagnostic Session — $50.
During this session, you'll get precise answers: what exactly is wrong in your body, why it causes pain, and how quickly it can be fixed in your specific case.
My practice didn't form as a "massage approach," but as an integral system of working with body and energy, which I created based on:
I don't work from templates.
I look for the cause, not the "place that hurts."
This allows me to relieve tension from the body faster, more precisely, and with longer-lasting effects.
70% of people come to me after "nothing else worked."
And cases like these are my strong suit.
After this session, you'll have not guesses, but concrete answers:
Fascia? Nerve pathways? Triggers? Disrupted flow? Compensation after injury?
(in my practice, this is possible in ~60% of cases)
Only the methods that work in your particular case.
Minimum steps → maximum effect.
Identifying trigger points, spasms, imbalances, and compensatory patterns.
Looking for where movement or impulse got "stuck."
Pain very often has not only a physical nature. I carefully determine if there's "another layer" to the problem.
If pain can be relieved immediately — I'll do it during the session.
A clear plan, without excessive procedures.
Diagnostic session — $50
This allows you to understand whether it's worth investing $250–350 in full sessions, and which specific techniques your body truly needs.
This is an honest, transparent, and effective path — without the risk of spending money blindly.
I don't sell "10 sessions."
I don't promise what I can't deliver.
If I can relieve pain immediately — I'll say it directly.
If not — I'll explain why and what's needed.
Everything is open.
A 3-day set of micro-recommendations that reduce tension, improve blood flow, and accelerate recovery. These are 2–3 simple actions you can perform starting today.
You'll feel the result even before the main session.
"I've tried at least seven therapists in LA. Merkhaba is the first person who didn't just massage the pain, but actually found why it kept coming back. I felt a noticeable release during the diagnostic session itself."
— Olivia R., Santa Monica"For months my shoulder felt 'stuck'. Chiropractors helped only for a few hours. Merkhaba found a deep trigger under the scapula that no one checked before. After her first session, the mobility finally returned."
— Daniel P., Beverly Hills"Her approach is completely different. She listens to the body like it's a map. The plan she gave me after the diagnostic session made more sense than anything I've done in the last year."
— Anna L., West Hollywood"The $50 diagnostic was the best decision. I finally understood what was happening with my back and what actually works for me. No guesswork, no upsell, just clarity."
