Last night we were invited to an open house to introduce a new place to have a massage in Reynier Village, Obsidian at 2865 Robertson. We met the owner, Zvi Kraus, born in Israel, raised in Los Angeles, and his entire family, mother, father, sister, brother and wife. We tasted delicious food from local eateries, small empanadas from Argentinian Empanadas, rugalach from Fred’s Bakery, a white coconut cake from Dolce Isola, we chatted with neighbors. It was a truly inspiring community event. Today we went back to experience a therapeutic massage and it was great. Zvi (the name means deer in Hebrew) used to work at Massage Garage in Culver City, he chose this location on South Robertson to open a place of his own. A Reiki Master and Pranic Healer, Zvi does not simply offer massages, but spiritual healing and emotional wellness. He says: “We are here for you to create greater space for the body, soul, mind and emotions.” Obsidian takes its name from the mystical crystal. You may book a range of services online at this link.
