About Us
Hi, I’m Ana, the owner of Tamarindo Muscle Therapy. I have been practicing massage for the past 11 years, starting my career here in Costa Rica. I am a licensed massage therapist and a certified Touch for Health practitioner. I’ve had the privilege of studying under Sheela Raquel Peña, the founder of TMT and Neuro Balance, and I have completed her Master Bodywork class. This experience has shifted my focus from traditional massage to a deeper understanding of the body, its functions, and the importance of holistic treatment. This is really the core culture of Tamarindo Muscle Therapy and the mentality that all of our therapists have.
Our mission is to provide the best quality massage and bodywork services possible to maintain optimum muscle health and function. We have a team of the best massage therapists in the country that offer a variety of bodywork and massage techniques. We offer our professional services in the comfort of your own home, condo, or hotel for a more tailored approach to each of our clients. For us, there is no such thing as a “cookie-cutter” massage. Everyone’s body and what it has been through is unique. Our job is to tailor every session to your needs and help your body heal in the most efficient way possible.
What makes what we do so different?
We are the only massage facility in the country that offers a comprehensive holistic approach, with therapists who have received specialized training and understand how to think outside the box. They adapt their methods to meet the unique needs of each individual. Not only do we offer individual muscle therapy and massage sessions, but we also provide group packages and recovery programs for those seeking more than just a typical massage.
What is repair muscle therapy?
This includes very specific manipulation of your muscle fibers, involving a combination of pressure and movement to manipulate both muscles and fascia in a way that aligns with your body’s natural healing responses.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of payment do you accept?
All payments need to be made in cash only. Our therapists do not travel with change so please make sure you have the exact amount on hand.
Will I need to get anything ready at my house before your arrival?
We will need an area spacious enough to set up a massage table. Our therapists will bring all of the equipment needed, including a massage table, sheets, and massage oils. If you have any allergies to certain oils or essential oils please let us know in advance, you are also welcome to provide your own massage oil or essential oils if you would like.
Due to the extreme heat conditions in Guanacaste, we recommend the massage be done in an air-conditioned room or with a fan, especially if it is a Koontzin Therapy. You are also welcome to provide your our own music if you would like.
What do I wear?
For Koontzin Therapy, there is a lot of movement and different positions you will be in, so some people are more comfortable in a pair of gym shorts or underwear. For other types of massage, this is not necessary, however, we leave it up to your discretion. Our main concern is that you are comfortable.
