Erica Straus

Erica spent much of her life in the UK where she studied Zoology at the Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine followed by 4 years of postgraduate research in Science and Law. In 2007 she quit her role as project manager for major fundraising campaigns due to illness and turned to studying and practicing massage and aromatherapy as a tool for self-healing. Upon moving to the Bay area in 2010, Erica discovered the McKinnon Body Therapy Center. The dedication of McKinnon staff to the power of bodywork as a healing tool transformed her approach to massage. Her practice expanded from Aromatherapy Massage to include Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Lymphatic Drainage, Prenatal, and working with chronic diseases and disabilities. Erica takes an analytical approach to both massage and aromatherapy and her love for knowledge allows her to approach every body as a unique experience of discovery.
