Jackie is a California State Certified Massage Therapist (Cert # 68420); graduated from National Holistic Institute, Studio City. Massage and healing work has always been in her life, thanks to the gifted hands of her father who has worked in the field for 30+ years. Jackie believes that the body is a playground and empowers clients to explore, play with, and befriend it, in and outside the room. Her passion is rooted in using connection, communication, and knowledge to create a safe space. She intuitively integrates many modalities, years of experience, and passed-down knowledge to create a customized session that meets the client and their body’s needs each time they visit.

Always expanding her knowledge and skills, Jackie loves working side by side with her husband, Jonas (also a Massage Therapist @ PFN), practicing the 4-handed therapeutic massage technique that they created.

After graduating from École Hôtelière de Lausanne, a business school in his native Switzerland, Jonas decided to dedicate himself to working with people on a more personal level. As a Certified Massage Therapist who graduated from the National Holistic Institute, making a safe space for people to connect with, understand, and challenge their body is the core of his work.

His highly intuitive nature allows him to combine modalities such as Swedish, Deep Tissue, MFT, Thai stretches, and energy work to better adapt to each client’s needs. In addition, his training as a Corrective Exercise Specialist from the National Academy of Sports Medicine helps him not only to find the root cause of dysfunctions in the body, but also to make recommendations on movement patterns that will help even outside the room. 

Always eager to learn about bodywork and to integrate new tools, he regularly collaborates with other practitioners to find the best possible ways to assist clients in their healing. Currently, he is developing a therapeutic 4-hand massage modality that he co-created with his wife Jaclyn Fernandez, who also works with PFN.
