Meet the Therapists
Francesca Caires, LMT

In 2001 Francesca opened the doors of The Healing Source Therapeutic Massage, but the story of her involvement in the healing arts began long before then.
She was raised in a family of health practitioners in France, and moved to Hawaii in 1991 to assist in her father's Chiropractic clinic. Her experience in the clinic afforded her valuable insights into the healing process from a medical and clinical perspective. Since her graduation from the Honolulu School of Massage in 1994, she has integrated various bodywork modalities into her practice such as reflexology, clinical massage, kinesiology touch for health, Swedish massage , deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, Lomi Lomi, aromatherapy massage, Chi Nei Tsang (abdominal massage), Craniosacral therapy, and herbal medicine. Her extensive experience and her dedication to her clients serves to create an optimal environment for health and healing.
Sara Caires, LMT
Sara grew up in a family of chiropractors and massage therapists, and knew from a very young age that bodywork was an effective and special part of life. She has been practicing the healing art of therapeutic massage since 2006. Sara completed her primary training at the Pacific Center for Awareness and Bodywork in Kauai, with a focus on Connective Bodywork (a gentle and highly effective approach that works with the body's many layers of connective tissue, as well as the connection between body, heart, mind and spirit). During a session of Connective Bodywork, you will feel a velcro-like pulling or melting sensation as the connective tissue 'knots' are released. These 'knots' create tension and limit mobility and flexibility. In her practice she also integrates Lomi Lomi, Trigger Point, Reflexology, Deep Tissue and Swedish massage.
Before practicing bodywork Sara spent 8 years working with polo and pleasure horses. Polo horses perform at a high level of athleticism and are prone to sore muscles and strained tendons. She learned the proper approach to adjusting and healing all levels of injuries though stretching, massage and liniments.
Sara has strong understanding of the body and where its natural balance should be. She is dedicated to helping her clients find their balance again. She believes that if both therapist and patient work together toward healing the benefits are even greater. She is always willing to spend extra time with you to help you gain a better understanding about your body.
