ABOUT ME



Bob
Grejdus
Bob Grejdus, B.S., L.M.T., is a Licensed Massage Therapist
and Sole-Proprietor of Santa Fe Massage Therapy.
A Nationally Board Certified Massage Therapist, Bob has been providing meaningful, inspired bodywork since 2010. He completed 1000 hours of certified training at the Finger Lakes School of Massage in NY where he went on to teach Anatomy and Physiology. Since 1999, Bob has studied and practiced Yoga, different forms of meditation and movement therapy and has completed 200hr Kripalu Yoga Teacher Training and 5Rhythms® moving meditation Teacher Training. Inspiration from these spiritual explorations, his background of 14 years working as a clinically based hospital pharmacist and his own severe physical injuries has led Bob to practicing the healing arts.
With compassionate intention and focused intuition Bob brings his wealth of diverse experiences and deep explorations into the wisdom of the body to his clients. With careful listening to the client’s needs and expert discretion Bob creates a wholistic, personalized session drawing from a variety of massage techniques including Deep Tissue, Myofascial, Trigger Point, Neuromuscular, Medical, Swedish and Sports to facilitate lasting healing and deep relaxation.
Each session is highly individualized and no two massage sessions are ever the same. Techniques are utilized and combined in ways that are often not distinguishable nor repeated. Prioritizing the client’s particular needs, Bob allows the muscle and fascial tissues, his broad skills and wise intuition to inform him of what combination of techniques and pressures to employ in each moment during the massage itself.
“The human body is an amazingly complex and wonderful mystery. I cannot pretend to know everything about it or exactly what action will be the miraculous key to a process of healing and/or rebalancing for the client. However I find that the work I do, in collaboration with the client, most often leads to at least the beginning of a significant healing process that leads to restoring and maintaining healthy balance, function, ease and freedom.
“After creating and operating my successful Massage Therapy business in Larchmont, NY (Westchester county) for 6 years, in June of 2022 I decided to follow my heart to the sacred land, sky and waters of New Mexico where I had been coming to visit and hike since 1999. The bold, gentle beauty and energy of this place nourishes me and I integrate that energy into my offerings to clients whenever I’m with them. I give clients my full attention and create a well-informed, skillful therapeutic massage that is, above all, meant to be meaningful.”
