Ciro
Ciro began his massage career in Seattle after graduating from the Cortiva Institute in 2014. Over the years, his work has evolved into an intuitive, client-centered approach rooted in connection, trust, and meeting each person where they are. He believes massage is at its best when clients feel truly comfortable and heard, allowing each session to unfold around what they need that day.
Originally from Miami and proudly Cuban-American, Ciro is fluent in both English and Spanish and eventually traded city life for the lush Virginia hills. Outside the studio, he is an avid cinephile with an eclectic mix of interests, including traveling, gardening, and a lifelong fascination with folklore, history, and the unusual. He has a deep affection for animals, wildlife, and the natural world, and loves spending time with his husband and their beloved dogs, Sabine and Jethro, who are rarely far from his side.
