Book a session with Tonia, founder of The Body Journey
“I felt my energy flow, like a wave from head to toe. exhilarating!”
-Body Journey recipient
Why choose between a massage, acupressure, or a sound bath when you can have one powerhouse session?
Tonia Lach, the developer of the Body Journey is available for sessions in Santa Rosa, Sonoma Valley, Mill Valley, and at Cavallo Point Spa in Sausalito (call directly at 415-339-4767 to book at Cavallo Point). Tonia also offers half-day healing retreats for deeper restoration.
Your 90-150 minute Body Journey® combines intricate, flowing massage, sound healing, and energy work in an experience that will unwind deep-held tensions — all wrapped in a powerful intention for healing any physical and non-physical concerns in your life. The Body Journey® is for people looking for more than a muscle rub. They desire to know themselves better, tune into their body, and open their inner guidance and intuition.
Recipients describe this multi-dimensional journey as “psychedelic and hypnotic” and as “a beautiful return to self, extremely healing and nurturing at a deep level.” Some people get guidance or visions from their body and some see swirling colors in their third eye. They literally float out of the room, glowing and blissed out.
Since 1992 Tonia has been lovingly practicing massage and bodywork. Her approach often brings people to their essence—that deep still place of self-love where all concerns melt away. On her table, she seamlessly combines reflexology, acupressure, Jin Shin Jyutsu, lymphatic drainage, Chi Nei Tsang, deep tissue, and sound healing into a mind-bending, hypnotic session catered to your body/mind/spirit needs.

“Tonia has been giving me massages for 30 years. Through training, experience, and grace she intuitively knows what is needed to hunt down the hidden knots and coax them into relaxing. She creates an oasis of peace and just thinking of it now I begin to breathe more deeply and settle into a quieter place. Over the years I have sent many of my patients to Tonia and they have uniformly been just as enthusiastic. Tonia is a loving, radiant person and a blessing to all of us.”
GIVE IT A TRY
1.5 hours+ session | $275
One hour just isn’t enough time to address the whole body in such detail, plus it takes a while for the mind to let go. An hour and a half will give you just enough time to go to that inner place of pure bliss and peace. This is also a good choice if you have something you must do after your session.
HALF-DAY RETREAT
4 HOURS | $550
Indulge in a half-day retreat and give yourself the gift of relaxation and rejuvenation. Your experience will begin with a two-hour Body Journey Massage session with Tonia, which will help you unwind from the stresses of everyday life. After your massage, you'll be treated to fresh pressed vegetable juices and tea to nourish your body. Next, you'll participate in a guided meditation or healing ritual to help you connect with your inner self. Finally, you'll have the opportunity to nap under the tranquil shade of the redwoods, receiving a revitalizing "tree-tment" as you slow down to the rhythms of nature and allow yourself to be filled with earth energy. This retreat is the perfect way to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and give yourself the gift of deep relaxation and restoration.
THE REAL DEAL
2 hours+ session | $325
This is the original length of The Body Journey®. It gives time to leave no stone unturned. This session has time to address each area of concern with detailed bodywork, time for sound healing in key locations on the body, and has time to coax the chi into places it maybe hasn’t been in a while. It is not about forcing anything. It’s about giving space to allow the magic to happen – remember, it’s always there; we just need to tap into it. This session is sure to do just that.
FULL-DAY RETREAT
6.5 HOURS | $900
Join us at The Nature Healing Sanctuary, a tranquil haven nestled amidst picturesque regional and state parks with varying levels of hiking trails. At our Sanctuary, we offer personalized experiences tailored to your unique needs. Our custom day begins with a revitalizing forest bathing walk in nature, followed by a guided meditation and healing ritual that will leave you feeling centered and grounded.
We will serve you a nutritious lunch to nourish your body and mind, and then you'll indulge in a luxurious two-hour Body Journey Massage Experience. As you unwind on the massage table, surrounded by the serenity of nature, you'll find yourself drifting off to a restful nap under the towering redwoods.
Our aim is to create a sacred space for you to connect with nature and yourself, lifting your spirits and replenishing your soul. Join us for a day of rejuvenation and renewal that will leave you feeling refreshed and invigorated.
THE ULTIMATE
2.5 hours+ session | $400
Some people’s bodies just keep opening and opening – the longer they are worked on the more their body presents to the therapist to be addressed. This session is not for everyone, but if you want to go to nirvana and back and then back again like a 2.5-hour long vacation, then this is for you. Please don’t schedule much after this session.
OVERNIGHT RETREAT
2-DAYS ONE NIGHT | $1800
The Nature Healing Sanctuary is a serene and tranquil space that serves as an oasis from the stresses of modern life. Our sanctuary features a beautiful cathedral-like space with large windows that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding trees and nature.
After your full-day retreat, you can unwind in our cozy and comfortable bed and enjoy a relaxing bath in the spa-like bathroom. You can soak in the moonlight that streams through the upper windows while listening to the sounds of crickets, birds, and trees. Quiet sleep is essential for restoring the nervous system, and our sanctuary provides the perfect environment for it.
The following day, we will continue to deepen your experience with a forest walk where we will make offerings to mother earth. This walk will be followed by another two-hour body journey massage experience, which will leave you feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and ready to face the world.
To schedule your retreat, please call us at 707-939-1988. We look forward to welcoming you to our Nature Healing Sanctuary.
