Deep Body Tissue & Healing Bodyworker

Jesús hails from a rich lineage of healers, rooted in Costa Rica’s Bribris indigenous community, where his father was born. His unique approach to therapy combines the lost knowledge of his indigenous heritage with Western medicine, a fusion pioneered by his parents when they established the first alternative medicine centers in Costa Rica.

Jesús has expanded his expertise to include a range of holistic therapies, such as American-certified LMT medical massage, chiropractic massage, and deep tissue massage.

Jesús’s personal healing journey, overcoming congenital talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) and recovering from multiple back surgeries, has deepened his understanding of the human body’s resilience and healing potential. With over 15,000 massages performed, his intuitive touch and personalized techniques offer a unique therapeutic experience. Continuously seeking to expand his knowledge, Jesús is currently delving into ancient Chinese medicine, further enriching his holistic approach to healing.

Relaxation and Energy Healing Bodyworker

Víctor Chinchilla Astorga, 38, transitioned from a career in banking, where he worked as a sales executive, to the world of alternative therapies after taking a sabbatical year in 2019. Seeking a new direction in life, he discovered his passion for relaxation and the healing power of touch through massage therapy in 2020.

This newfound passion led him to enroll in a personalized course at BodyworkStudioCR that same year, where he honed his skills in relaxation techniques. Driven by a desire to help others, Víctor deepened his knowledge of how physical touch and energy work can alleviate emotional, physical, and spiritual pain.

Today, Víctor remains committed to his mission of improving the quality of life for those who, like him, have experienced the demands of a high-pressure work environment where well-being is often overlooked. His approach focuses on creating a calming and restorative experience, helping clients reconnect with their inner peace and vitality.

Studying at the National University of Costa Rica, he earned a bachelor’s degree in Dance with a focus on anatomy and physiology. It was here that Luis developed a deep interest in the movement of the human body, its recovery processes, and how to enhance physical performance.

This passion led him to explore yoga, which in turn inspired him to delve into various holistic medicine practices. In 2020, Luis completed a personalized course at BodyworkStudioCR and quickly became a key member of the team. He has since established himself as one of the studio’s leading bodyworkers.

Currently, Luis is expanding his expertise by pursuing studies in personal training, post-operative care, and rehabilitative training, aiming to further support his clients in their journey toward optimal health and well-being.
