Not Your
Ordinary Massage.
— BODYWORK • PACIFIC GROVE, CA
Most massage sessions follow a format: you lie down, the therapist works through a sequence, you get up feeling temporarily better. At Selina's Therapy Center, that is not how it works.
Every session starts with listening, to what you say, and to what your body says when Selina puts her hands on it. She traces tension through the whole system, identifies the source rather than just the symptom, and works with precision toward a result that lasts past the parking lot.
That approach is built on 23 years of clinical bodywork, 1,500+ hours of formal training, and a dual background in therapeutic massage and movement science that gives her an anatomical understanding most therapists simply don't have.
Fascia-First Thinking
Selina works with the whole connective tissue system, not just the muscle that hurts, but the chain of tension that led there.
Root Cause, Not Surface Relief
Sessions are designed to address what's actually driving your pain or restriction, not just quiet it down temporarily.
Results That Accumulate
Regular sessions build on each other. Selina tracks your history and adjusts her approach as your body responds and changes.
Movement-Informed Bodywork
Her personal training and CHEK background informs how she works, she understands how the body moves, and what happens when it can't.
Not sure which style is right for you? Every session is personalized regardless but understanding each approach helps you arrive with intention.
Choose the Right Session for Your Body
— Massage Styles —
01
Therapeutic
A balanced blend of techniques to ease muscle stress, improve circulation, and restore overall function. The most versatile option, effective for most bodies and most goals.
02
Deep Tissue
Targets deep muscle layers to address chronic pain, stubborn tension, and structural restrictions. Firm pressure applied with precision, not simply “harder” massage.
03
Esalen-Style
Long, flowing strokes that work the whole body as an integrated system. Developed at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, deeply restorative and quietly profound.
04
Meditative
Slow, intentional touch that calms the nervous system and creates space for emotional and physical unwinding. For clients carrying stress at a level that goes beyond muscle.
05
Structural Integration
Deep fascia work based on Rolfing principles—designed to improve alignment, restore movement, and address the root structural causes of chronic discomfort.
06
Relaxation
Calming strokes designed to reduce stress, quiet the nervous system, and bring the body into a full state of rest. An essential reset for the chronically busy.
All sessions are performed exclusively by Selina Sahba. There are no other therapists at this practice. What you book is what you get—the same expert, every time.

Intake
& Conversation

Assessment

The session is built in real time around what she finds. Techniques, pressure, and focus areas are selected to serve your body that day based upon your needs.
Tailored
Treatment

You leave with practical recommendations—movement suggestions, hydration,
or follow-up timing, tailored to
what was addressed.

What Clients Say
Thanks for such a fantastic pre-race massage, Selina! I feel so much better, less soreness and fatigue. Looking forward to that post-race one too. Take care and see you soon!
— ERIC D.
This morning, when I got up and started walking, I had zero pain in my hip and groin where I usually feel varying levels of discomfort.
— TOM H.
The deep tissue really released a lot of stuck energy. I feel much better today, thanks!
— CATHERINE S.
Integrated Movement & Massage
Want movement work built in?
Both disciplines. One session. $240.
The Integrated Movement & Massage session brings both services together into a single 90-minute appointment, 30 minutes of corrective exercise followed by 60 minutes of therapeutic massage. You work on the movements that directly address what you're dealing with, whether that's core stability for low back pain, shoulder rehab, hip and knee issues, or postural imbalances. Then the bodywork follows, releasing the tension and restoring the tissue quality that lets those improvements stick.
30-Mins
Corrective Exercise
Targeted strength-building exercises for your specific concern, so you leave knowing exactly how to support your own recovery between sessions.
60-Mins
Therapeutic Massage
Whole-body manual therapy and fascia work to release restrictions, restore mobility, and reinforce what the movement work started.
90-Minute Session
Limited availability. Open to men and women.
Getting routine massage therapy is one of the most effective ways to care for your body, relieve stress, and support long-term health.
