Debbie Forbes
Hola! I'm originally from the south side of Chicago, but I have always felt like a beach native. I have been a licensed massage therapist since 1993 and opened Island Massage Therapy in 1996. We merged with the salon next door in 2002 and became Tierra Verde Salon & Spa Inc. It has been my pleasure to add my enthusiasm for massage with the commitment of the other Salon & Spa professionals. Within my scope of practice, I incorporate neuromuscular, myofascial, hot stone, thai and lomi-lomi therapies to customize the massage experience for you. Come, let me get my hands on you!

Lauren here! You may see me running around the salon, shampooing your noggin, or folding some laundry, but that's not all! I will soon be a licensed massage therapist, joining our team of wonderful professionals.

Evelyn Tosi
Hi, my name is Evelyn. Here at Tierra Verde Salon and Spa I am a licensed massage therapist (LMT) specializing in deep tissue relaxation and deep tissue therapeutic massages. We offer several other body treatments which I enjoy performing. I have been an LMT since fall '01 and have been employed at Tierra Verde Salon and Spa since summer '04. Massage therapy is my second fabulous career. After years as a dancer (traveling and working throughout the U.S. and internationally, on stage and in films) and a hobby artist, the transition to massage was an easy one. My joy and skills in dance, sculpting and other art forms are easily expressed in giving massage. The dynamics of the music inspires me and my hands love the work. I believe all of these facets give my clients and artistic pleasure along with their relaxation and relief of pain and discomfort. I increase my knowledge of the human body and improve my techniques through continuing education. One of my goals in '07 is to begin studying reflexology. As my massage career grows I plan on continuing to dance and create art fulfilling my dreams of having a well rounded artistic life. Enjoy!

Suzanne Andrew
Thai Yoga Massage Therapist, Reiki Master and LMT (MA#51338)
Like so many people, I found reiki, yoga and massage as tools to help me recover from a health crisis. Almost immediately, I realized that although the medical world could keep me alive, it didn?t have the tools to keep me healthy, vibrant and whole. It was from this place of profound gratitude, that I decided to work with people at a deeper level by becoming a licensed massage therapist and Thai Yoga Massage Therapist. Offering specialized services in deep relaxation, deep tissue, Swedish, Lomi Lomi, Esalen, Tui Na, Neuromuscular, Hot Rocks, Energy Therapy, Yoga and Thai Massage. What I do best is use the various tools in my extensive toolbox of massage and therapeutic techniques to develop the perfect massage for you ? exactly as you are right now, today!
