About Trisha
Massage and bodywork isn't just what I do—it's my life’s work and true passion. I’m dedicated to helping people find relief from pain and stress, and I bring that commitment to every session. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients across four different countries, giving thousands of massages along the way.
Each session is a new opportunity to connect, heal, and support well-being—and that never gets old. I continually strive to provide the best possible care, tailoring each treatment to meet my clients’ unique needs.
My Story
My path to massage therapy began at a young age when I discovered a book on the subject and couldn’t put it down. I was fascinated by the body’s complexity and by how massage could support healing in such a simple, natural way. By the age of twelve, I was receiving regular treatments for scoliosis and experiencing firsthand the power of therapeutic massage alongside chiropractic care. I’ve been hooked ever since.
​
I was born and raised Los Angeles, California. After high school, I moved to Joplin, Missouri, where I completed my massage therapy training. During this time, I learned that massage is not only a means of relaxation but also an effective treatment for pain and stress—a philosophy that continues to guide my work today.
​
After moving back to California, I went on to earn a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology (Sport Science) at California State University, Northridge. This deepened my understanding of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics.
Later, I moved to Edinburgh, Scotland, where I continued my work as a massage therapist alongside physiotherapists and chiropractors, further refining my clinical skills and techniques. I eventually opened my own practice, and expanded it to include three additional therapists. After five rewarding years of working full-time, I relocated to the Netherlands with my husband and took time off to raise our two children. In 2021, I returned to the work I love—first at Weleda City Spa in Oegstgeest, and now in my own practice, Revive Massage & Bodywork in Leiden.

It’s an honor to support others through massage therapy, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to help my clients heal, relax, and feel revived!
