Spotlight: Peace of Mind

Every Body Kneads Peace of Mind

By Christianna Marks

Andrea Hambro got her start working in the medical field as a certified nurse, but after 10 years, she realized she wanted to help heal people in a more holistic way by taking a more natural approach. That’s when she left nursing behind and decided to become a massage therapist.

“I went to Touch Therapy Institute [in California] and became a licensed and state-certified massage practitioner in 1996,” said Andrea.

She then decided to specialize in Ayurvedic therapy, a healing method that comes from a period in time dating back 5,000 years ago that comes out of India.

“Ayurvedic therapy is the science of life and is believed to help sustain the flow of energy throughout the body and help heal the mind, body, and spirit," Andrea said. "I believe peace of mind is our common thread. We all want to achieve a state of peace. My purpose and passion is to help others find happiness, hope, and peace of mind. My quote is, “Every body kneads peace of mind.”

In 2013, Andrea brought her love of the healing arts to the Central Coast from the San Fernando Valley and continued to learn more about the healing arts before opening her first Peace of Mind massage center in Morro Bay in 2017.

In 2022, Andrea opened a second Peace of Mind location in Atascadero because she wanted to serve more of the Central Coast.

“I believe that we are all meant to thrive and evolve to wholeness,” Andrea says of her life and her business.

Both Peace of Mind locations are integrative medical massage centers with the main focus of providing quality therapeutic massage and bodywork while also healing the mind.

“We support you in your healing process, offering holistic solutions which target your needs through a variety of therapeutic techniques for requisite health and wellness,” continued Andrea.

Peace of Mind massage centers offer an array of services to help heal your body and your mind. Not only do Andrea and her small staff of trained professionals offer 60-, 75-, and 90-minute therapeutic massages, but they also offer Ayurvedic therapeutic treatments. Some of those treatments include Shirodhara scalp massages, where a slow stream of aromatic oil is slowly poured onto your scalp and massaged into your head for up to 45 minutes to help clear mental stress, anxiety, and insomnia.

They also provide their clientele with facials featuring a facelift acupressure massage using a blend of essential oils and vitamins for the face and neck and hot and cold stones. These can help relieve migraines, headaches, and TMJ.

And if you’re looking for something different, Peace of Mind also has vibrational sound therapy to support your body’s natural rhythms by using sound waves.

“Our main focus is to provide quality therapeutic massage and bodywork, to promote healing to the mind and body,” Andrea said.
