Skylr de Castro, LMT has been practicing massage therapy since 2022. She started her business, Encounter Massage LLC, in 2025 with the mindset that when you Encounter Massage, You Encounter Wellness.

She has a passion for helping her clients renew their relationship with their bodies. She believes the body is intelligently designed to heal itself. Massage therapy is one of her favorite tools to use to promote this recovery and healing process. Her approach is to blend sports massage and therapeutic massage with a touch of relaxation massage. Because when our nervous systems feel safe, our body responds with recovery.

When she’s not working with her clients, she is found being a wife and a mom of two boys (a toddler and an infant). Skylr lives up to the core meaning of her name, scholar. She believes there is wisdom in living life as a student, always learning, always growing. She invites each of her clients to join her in this perspective and treat each session as a way to encounter growth, encounter massage and encounter wellness. MA103968

  • Sports Massage Therapist | Functional Fitness Trainer (NASM Certified)

    With over 30 years of experience, Mike Recicar has dedicated his career to helping athletes recover, rebuild, and reach peak performance. His approach integrates sports massage therapy and functional fitness training to restore balance, stability, and mobility throughout the body.

    “A tight muscle will pull a joint into a dysfunctional position, and a weak muscle will allow it to happen.”

    Mike’s individualized programs enhance performance through evidence-based movement, strength development, and recovery strategies that support the primary and secondary muscle systems essential for each athlete’s sport or activity. His passion lies in helping athletes of all levels move better, perform stronger, and sustain long-term health and performance.
