Paul Bandong, LMT

Welcome, my name is Paul.

I graduated from the Academy of Professional Careers: Holistic Health in 2004 in La Mesa, California, and I’ve been practicing for 20 years. In my time, I am grateful to have cultivated diverse skills and tools that help me support my client’s wellness goals from a holistic standpoint. Each time you see me, I’ll be happy to meet you where you are that day.

I work in a lighter-medium pressure range, but I only work at levels that are safe for you to receive. I don’t believe my clients should ever have to struggle to get through a massage because the pressure is painful. The clients that book with me are looking for slower paced, thorough bodywork that is both relaxing and therapeutic. I really enjoy working on the upper and lower back, and specialize in niche requests, such as the psoas. While I have a more clinical approach to my work, I do like to facilitate the Citrus Mint Foot Scrub because it smells great and my clients leave feeling refreshed.

I look forward to working with you on your journey to enhanced wellness!

‘I’ve had a knot in my back for the past few weeks and it was so bad it hurt to breathe. I went to Amara last night and got a massage from Paul B. He was able to locate the exact spot where the pain was without me having to tell him where it was. He applied just the right amount of pressure and really worked on that spot. I woke up this morning and I’m finally able to breathe deeply without pain. Thank you, Paul!” – Angel M.
