Robert Berryman

Therapeutic Massage, Aromatherapy

Robert Berryman became convinced of the healing powers of essential oils as he experimented with them in his massage therapy practice back in 1993. Robert began studying aromatherapy with master teacher and spa consultant, Roxanne Yahner, and with George Kerr, owner and president of Aloha essential oils.

After several years of study and experimentation, Robert became an aromatherapy consultant to the world-famous Burke Williams spa in Los Angeles. He designed a special massage technique using unique custom blends of exquisite essential oils and handcrafted aromatherapy products, and taught aromatherapy and his new massage approach to the staff. Robert's seminars and the exceptional products he introduced to Burke Williams created a tremendous surge in the popularity of the spa's aromatherapy services, and Robert soon became manager of the massage department for Burke Williams. In 1999, Robert left Burke Williams to devote himself to Zyanya and his private bodywork practice.

Robert Berryman has been a licensed and certified massage therapist for many years, and his clients include celebrities and entertainment professionals, as well as other healthcare professionals. His other love is music. A singer-songwriter and guitarist for 30 years, Robert has performed throughout California, and can be heard on movie and video soundtracks. He is also a passionate world traveler and collector of folk art.
