Ali Afifi
I enjoy helping people improve how they feel and function, whether that’s reducing pain, improving movement and range of motion, or simply relaxing and managing stress. I work with clients from all backgrounds and tailor each treatment to individual needs. Before entering the healthcare field, I completed a degree in civil engineering in 2012, which helped me develop a strong analytical and problem-solving approach that now supports my use of evidence-informed care in clinical practice. My treatments may include therapeutic massage, myofascial release, trigger point release, stretching, and joint mobilization. I offer light, medium, and firm pressure based on your comfort and goals. Whether you’re dealing with muscle tension, headaches, postural discomfort, or recovering from injury, I look forward to helping you move and feel better.
I also speak English and Farsi.

She has weight-trained and done yoga for several years, and enjoys sharing this knowledge with her clients.

Through her treatments, her long-term goal is to educate her clients on how their lifestyle or work is affecting their body, and how to manage pain and stress by developing a movement and self-care practice that is realistic, effective, and enjoyable.

Jinny Lee
Hi, I’m Jinny!
Growing up around healthcare, health and wellness were always an important part of my life. From an early age, I learned the value of taking care of your body and maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.
My passion for massage therapy developed through my own interest in fitness, weightlifting, and movement. As I became more involved in the gym, I grew fascinated by how the body works and how proper treatment and recovery can make a meaningful difference in everyday life.
I enjoy treating a wide variety of clients, so whether you’re dealing with everyday tension from your desk job, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to relax and unwind, my goal is to create a welcoming environment where you feel comfortable, supported, and at ease.
My treatment style often incorporates trigger point techniques, joint mobilizations, and myofascial release, depending on your individual needs and goals. I also like to provide home care at the end of each session, such as therapeutic exercises and stretches, to help you continue making progress outside of the clinic.
Beyond massage therapy, you’ll often find me at the gym, watching soccer, or baking different dishes from scratch!
