About Me

BALANCE Y WELLNESS

Who I am

I’m José Dimas Oliva Cesar, a Cuban-born massage therapist and physical wellness specialist established in San Francisco, CA. My passion for health and recovery began in Cuba, where I earned a degree in Physical Education and Sports and became a 13-time provincial champion in combat sports. Since 2015, I’ve been dedicated to helping others heal and restore balance through holistic therapy.

With hands-on experience in rehabilitation centers and advanced training in sports massage, shiatsu, reflexology, hot stone therapy, and more, I’ve worked with athletes, spas, and wellness centers both in Cuba and the U.S. I currently serve as a physical therapy assistant at ORAW and work actively with BLOWOLOGY Salon and SOOTHE.

Beyond my professional path, I’m passionate about art, dance, hiking, meditation, cooking, and martial arts. I bring this vibrant energy into every session, aiming to provide personalized care that supports the body, mind, and spirit.

In every session, I bring not only my technical expertise but also a deep sense of empathy and understanding. I take the time to listen to each client’s concerns and goals, and I tailor every treatment to meet their specific needs. Whether you’re looking to relieve pain, recover from an injury, or simply relax and recharge, my therapeutic approach is always guided by care, precision, and years of experience.

I’m constantly expanding my knowledge and staying updated with new techniques and practices in the wellness field. My commitment to growth allows me to blend traditional healing methods with modern approaches. My mission is simple: to help you feel better, move better, and live better — one treatment at a time.
