Hakim LaRocca

In 2008, I received my certificate in therapeutic and remedial massage from the Cape Institute of Allied Health in Cape Town, South Africa. I have been a dedicated therapist ever since, practicing Swedish massage, sports massage, and Thai massage. I went back home to America in 2018 and completed another therapeutic massage course which gave me a better understanding of medical massage. I am currently living and working in Brussels, Belgium. I have been fortunate to be a massage therapist for the Cape Argus Cycle Tour, the ABSA Cape Epic mountain bike race, Cirque du Soleil artists, the Springbok Rugby World Cup squad and numerous visiting Super 18 rugby teams from Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina. I am passionate about the human body, movement, and healing; I know the power of touch and how to use massage to connect people. I believe that everyone can give an amazing massage, the kind of massage that stems from inside of us. For me, it’s all about nurturing this feeling and ability with focus, intention, and openness. Life throws so many twists, turns, and obstacles at us so sometimes, besides ironing out those knotted shoulders, all we need is a little bit of touch, empathy and affection to get us through those difficult times.
