Robin Hagen, Licensed Massage Therapist

There is a small massage room on the second floor of Mercy Center, a retreat center run by the Sisters of Mercy in Auburn, California. Robin has been providing massage services there for Mercy Center guests and groups for nine years, enjoying the quiet and peace of that space. Massage sessions are tailored to your specific needs and cost $70 for a one hour session.

Dr. Dennis Harding has recommended Gua Sha to a select group of his patients for many years. Often these patients suffer from tightness through their shoulders, specifically in the trapezius region. Because the trapezius muscle interacts with the atlas and axis vertebrae, if it is tight, it can pull these out of alignment, affecting Dr. Harding's careful adjustment of your neck.

People sometimes ask how I got into massage. Usually, I say, "I was a middle school teacher and needed a change." That is just part of the story, though. The truth is that I was sad. I was three years into my teaching career and found myself living for summer and sick when September rolled around.

550 High St, Suite 119 and at Mercy Center, 535 Sacramento St. Most of Dr. Harding's patients are seen at the 550 High St. office. Office hours are on Friday and Saturday with occasional evening appointments. If these times don't work for you, please contact me. I work hard to arrange appointment times that make Gua Sha convenient for Dr. Harding's out of town patients.
