Individual experiences vary.
My approach
Muscles, fascia, and how they connect.
I use my experience, knowledge of anatomy, and hands-on assessment to guide the session. I work with muscles and fascia—the connective tissue that wraps and supports structures throughout your body. I may work beyond the spot where you feel tension, and I’ll explain why before I do.
The core of most sessions is therapeutic and deep-tissue massage, myofascial work, and assisted stretching. A session can stay on one concern or cover your whole body.
- Optional techniques
- Cupping, gua sha, psoas release and hip-flexor work, abdominal work, foot reflexology, and jaw, tongue & intraoral work. Used only when they fit and you agree. Not every session includes them.
- ZOMA™ The Fascia Cream
- The cream I use during appropriate hands-on work. Just say so if you’d rather go without.
- Heated jade & far-infrared mat
- Used in the Sebastopol studio for added warmth. Not part of every session; mention it if you’d like it.
Meet Om
My friends call me Om.
I’m Carlos. I’ve been a massage therapist since 2009, and I’ve been a Reiki Master since 2011. I also work as a fascia specialist, meditation guide, and breathwork facilitator.
My training in Native American healing practices comes through my family lineage. In 2009, my great-grandmother, Amanda Aparicio Hercules, passed this work on to me. Her teachings remain an important part of how I approach care, presence, and connection.
Your first visit
What happens when you arrive.
Your priorities
Tell me what you’re hoping for from the visit. You don’t need to know what’s causing the tension or choose a technique.
The approach
I explain what I suggest and we agree on it together, including pressure and any optional techniques.
Check-ins
I check in as we go and adjust. Before you leave, we talk about how you feel.
Consent, draping & pressure
Only the area I’m working on is uncovered, and only with your consent. You can stay fully clothed or covered instead. Ask for more or less pressure, decline any technique, or pause at any time.

Forty-five minutes suits one main area. Sixty minutes covers your main priorities. Ninety minutes allows full-body work with extra time where you need it. Two hours leaves room for several areas and relaxation. Still unsure? Email me.
No. Choose a session length. I’ll recommend an approach based on your goals and what I find during the session.
Deep work doesn’t have to hurt. Tell me at any point if you want more or less pressure. You can decline any technique or pause the session whenever you like.
I use professional draping, and only the area I’m working on is uncovered, with your consent. You can stay fully clothed or covered, and I’ll adapt the work.
Yes, if you’re interested. Book your session length and mention it when you arrive, or ask beforehand. These are optional parts of a booked session, not separate services. More on the Reiki and breathwork & meditation pages.
Online booking is for Sebastopol. Email me to ask about Marin County pop-up dates or monthly appointments at my Walnut Creek office. House calls are separate from pop-ups and arranged by location; send your Marin County location to confirm.
Please tell me before your session so we can discuss whether massage is suitable, and whether guidance from your medical provider would help. Massage isn’t a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment.
