Holden Zalma, LMT
Founder of MetaTouch
Founder of MetaTouch Therapeutic Massage and Wellness Center in Culver City, California, licensed massage therapist Holden Zalma, brings a new treatment philosophy to the practice of massage – addressing the source of physical and medical problems, not just the symptoms, to treat the core issues at hand behind physical pain or ailments.

Holden, now with more than 16 years of experience, began his career in massage therapy as an assistant athletic trainer at the University of Southern California, where he worked with the football, basketball, volleyball, and swimming teams treating – and preventing – sports injuries. While holding this position, Holden completed his degree in psychology and piqued his interest in physical therapy, massage, and preventative medicine.

Throughout his continued course of study, Holden has pursued alternative and complementary therapies for both treatment and prevention. He is specially trained in the Myofascial Release Approach, a form of soft tissue therapy that helps relax contracted muscles, increasing circulation, increasing venous and lymphatic drainage, and stimulating the stretch reflex of muscles and overlying soft tissue. In addition, Holden has been trained in oriental medicine, including Tuina massage, a form of massage that utilizes mobilization and acupressure techniques, as well as more traditional therapies, such as assisted stretching and rehabilitation.

Combining his passion for holistic healing modalities and his vision for treating the whole, not just the parts,  Holden established MetaTouch Therapeutic Massage and Wellness Center in 1996. The center’s approach to wellness utilizes therapeutic massage as a unique form of healing perfectly suited to treat the core problem in addition to the symptoms. Treatments make it so people feel better not only on the massage table, but long afterwords.
