My mission is clear, to change lives.

Her open-minded approach is ever evolving with the times and needs of an ever changing and developing world where we are simply just learning to live with more balance and peace so we can enjoy our family and friends and personal life on a deeper more meaningful fulfilling way.

Dear Cohesive Family Welcome aboard, set your sails to align into the direction of your dreams and TRUST THE PROCESS!

I never thought I would be here today typing on my wellness center website while juggling my 5-year-old toddler and hiring employees and being totally in love with the process of my work, bringing light into the eyes of our clients, giving them their first ah ha! IT was important to me that the detox methods I offered not only made sense, but where things we could actually implement easily daily within the structures of our life not just around them.

Because whoever “gets around” to self-care, you got to get into it and to get into its self-care needs to be part of the fabric of your life and our family’s sphere of functional lifestyle. Where the balancing act is no longer just an act when it becomes an experience, we can honestly enjoy.

Profound and Pivotal Influences of My Life

My Beloved Mommy Elaine Influenced me in profound ways introducing me to bodywork and the use of essential oils, crystal and energy work at a very young age. She regularly practiced bodywork on all her children from the day we were born.

Her wise wisdom raised us through Rudolf Steiner schooling where alternative forms of learning are readily studied, painting drawing and dance an impeccable part of school from day one of kindergarten. Our home was a large lot of farmlands overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Our play friends are animals, the nature is still my home place no matter where I go.

My Beloved sister Anjali is my Starship, my guiding voice and light for the vision of the Cohesive Center. Anjali exposed me to and supported me with pure love at all levels. Licensed massage therapist and Advanced John F Barnes MFR release therapist. Anjali always acted as a guide in my life for everything introducing me to Bikram Yoga in Maui Hawaii, and later on Pahoa Ashtanga yoga shala on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Anjali also introduced me to raw foods and live food nutrition. she found the Gerson clinic in Big Island Hawaii where I learned the depth of juicing and cleansing, that was a profound support my mom in her cancer process. Anjali worked at the clinic side by side Maya Baylac and inspired many patience with her love and food including our Mommy, where we took care of her together in alternating shifts in her final days, following the rigorous Gerson schedule of enemas and juicing with her.

Ms Caterina In 2000, Birthplace Cape Town south Africa 16years old at the beginning of her massage career just certified in Indian Head Massage with Dr.Iqbal Badit and began the journey working at Holistic Health fairs through Cape Town.

My earrings and necklace in the picture are my first ever purchase through massage funds. I was very excited at 16! I find that flowers and life come from absorbing all the good things that exist and transforming all the challenges into opportunities for growth, change and sharing.

Yulisa Cordero (She/Her/Hers)

Talent: Deep work, intent to fix and heal, curious and creative in her style. Firm and strong with pressure.

Hello, I am Yulisa Cordero, I am one of the therapists here at Cohesive Therapy. I began my massage journey at a very young age and learned the majority of the techniques I use in massage from my grandmother (Susana), who has now passed away. She used to tell me “hands were made for a reason and some were made to heal; not everyone can do this, to heal a body from within, from above the surface is a special gift so don’t let it slip away.” And I didn’t.

Cohesive Therapy is a place for everyone! I’m happy to be a part of this family; healing everyone who steps through our doors and leaving a better you. I wish to bring my knowledge to each one of you, in hopes of a better lifestyle and self-care at home. Cohesive therapy is an experience you will never forget! I look forward to meeting you soon.
