Licensed Massage Therapist, Miriam Alas
Born and raised in Naples for most of her life, Miriam has always desired to help others. She graduated high school overseas in Honduras, which was the first time she had ever received a massage treatment. Traditionally, her grandma called the town medicine woman to administer her a full body massage detoxing treatment. She immediately felt the difference in her body. As she came back to pursue her higher education, she felt pulled to do something more as she worked on her college degree to fulfill her and help her with tuition. Miriam has always been fascinated by holistic health, and she stumbled upon a massage school in Bonita Springs, Florida. It was then when she took a hiatus from college to pursue a massage therapy career. Since then, Miriam has worked in both a corporate setting and with a country club. Once the pandemic hit, she was inspired to start her own massage therapy business. She has found passion in body treatments and is well acquainted with various modalities. Miriam is passionate about health and beauty and is still pursuing her degree in psychology to further her dream of helping the community.
Whatever your desired outcome from spa massage, the therapy eases physical and mental stress, which in turn helps reduce muscular tension and provides relief from any physical aches and pains you may be experiencing. Along with providing these therapeutic benefits, massage imparts numerous other benefits that stimulate overall health, including:
- Enhanced circulation through the loosening of muscles and tendons.
- Elimination of toxins through the blood and lymphatic systems.
- Improved flexibility through the relaxation and loosening of muscles and tendons.
- Alleviation of depression and anxiety through the release of endorphins.
- Enhanced immunity through stimulation of lymph nodes.
- Improved sleep patterns.
- Improved digestive function.
- Reduction in fatigue.

While the general relaxation that comes with a massage goes a long way in reducing stress levels, the phrase “healing hands” holds true with massage. Massage therapy can help reduce stress hormone levels while boosting the production of your body’s feel-good dopamine and serotonin chemicals.
