Teresa came to Taos in 1998 to study massage at the Scherer Institute of Natural Healing. She worked in several spas before opening her own in 2003. Estrella Massage started out small and grew over the years. Specializing in spa treatments, many of which Teresa created herself, she believes in nurturing the body and caring for the soul. Her spa, its decor, gardens, and treatments reflect this. Teresa wants visitors to not only enjoy a massage or spa treatment, but to have a deep experience of relaxation, renewal and healing. At Estrella Massage and Day Spa you can step out of our busy world and find a peaceful sanctuary awaiting you.

Lee has been practicing her unique, nurturing style of therapeutic massage since 1993. Her extensive studies beyond her original schooling combine to offer a potpourri of many modalities focusing on opening and releasing blocked energies. Addressing the energetic body of meridian flows, and energy highways is her passion and strength. Her awareness of the profound benefits of simple conscious touch in key acupressure zones is part of her secret to opening the recipient to deeper levels of being. Lee now includes horses, dogs, cats and any lucky critter who comes along, into her practice.
