HAWI PERFORMANCEMassage therapyPerformance-focused bodywork
Move better.
Recover faster.
Feel stronger.
I’m Xavier Vanvlasselaer, a clinical massage therapy student building HAWI Performance in Berkeley, California. This future mobile sports massage practice will focus on athletic recovery, functional movement, and thoughtful sessions tailored to the person on the table.
The HAWI approach
Body performance through better care.
Mobility
Attention to movement restrictions, muscle tension, and the areas that keep the body from moving comfortably.
Individual care
No automatic routine. Each session is shaped around the client’s goals, feedback, and needs that day.
Training in motion
Learning in the classroom. Applying it with athletes.
I’m completing NHI’s 800-hour Core Massage Therapy Program and plan to continue into the 450-hour Advanced Neuromuscular Therapy program, pursuing a total training path of 1,250 hours.
Through a sports medicine externship at Saint Mary’s College of California, I’m also gaining hands-on experience working with Division I athletes across multiple sports.
