My name is Elizabeth Gonzalez, or as you know me, Ellie. My passion for massage and holistic wellness stems from my lifelong fascination with the human body. A passion started when my mom, also a massage therapist, began teaching me the lessons of touch and anatomy at the age of 7. Born and raised in Los Angeles, I was a gymnast for the first eight years of my life on an Olympic track. This is where I got my first introduction to the importance of physical health and wellness.
It was a path I only left when I found my passion for musical theatre. After graduating with a BA in theatre, I did what all Los Angeles performers doβ¦and decided to secure myself a more stable career to support my performance career. Falling back on the skill of my youth, I sought out professional massage education at the National Holistic Institute where in I graduated as a Massage Therapist and Health Educator.
Opening In Touch Massage for the first time that same year, giving massages professionally has been a staple in my life for over 10 years. While still pursuing a career in the arts, I have provided massages in hotels, spas, chiropractic offices, hospitals, gyms, massage boutiques, and in the private homes of clients all over Los Angeles.
After the event of , I have set my sights back on the prize. Officially reopening In Touch Massage in I have prioritized providing the absolute best services to clients new and old. In , I am excited to offer clients any way possible to receive personalized therapeutic treatments whether in the comfort of their own home, or in my newly opened Westchester studio location. Keep your eye out for me. I am always expanding my knowledge base with continuing education in massage techniques and practices, and see a time coming soon I return to higher education adding a few more letters to the end of my name and what not.
The eventual future of In Touch Massage is the expansion of this solo massage business into In Touch Wellness, a wellness center offering massage, Pilates, yoga and nutrition coaching and counseling from a registered dietician, focusing on serving my community of Inglewood, CA.
