Alma was always a light in the room, even when she was having a bad day, there was just something about her like that. When she would smile she would just change everything. She was always such a pleasure to have around. She was sweet, pleasant, patient and kind when she was talking and giving feedback to people.She was quirky, confused, trying to find her way, trying to figure out how to do things. Alma could always erase the quirky confusion of everyone else because she was so non judgmental. Her clients and fellow students all loved her so much.
I had Alma work on me two weeks ago. It was honestly some of the best, most loving, effective bodywork I've ever received.
Alma, you'll be missed, more than you know...or maybe you do.

Alma, I've been meaning to call you since our last conversation in the summer, because I've been missing your easy going nature, your sense of play, your conscientiousness, and your laugh. Weren't we going to grab a drink together somewhere and laugh our asses off? You taught me that I really can fit a massage table into a small 2-door BMW, and you encouraged me to go out into the world and go for it, like you did. You are so gorgeous, so sensual, and so funny. Pregnancy massage and other classes were so great because of you - I always sought you out to be my partner. In fact, I still swing my hips when I massage because when you did it, it looked like it felt good within you and that it was good for the client, too. You are such a great masseuse and teacher. No doubt, many other hearts will be lifted by you wherever you are. I hope you get this message. All my love and hugs, Barbie
I did not know Alma very well, but I think of everyone in our group fondly as we have all been in such a special process together that brings us closer! I send lots of hugs and healing wishes for those of you in Southern Cal who knew Alma longer, and must be deepyl hurting. I am so sorry about her loss. Life is so very precious. When someone dies like this it is a shock, a harsh reminder to us all how fragile and finite things are.
Keeping you and all of my LA Forearm Dance class warriors in my thoughts and in my prayers with love,
Sue
My condolences & peace is sent to all Alma's family and friends,
Love & light,

What a sweet and compassionate soul our friend Alma was. Our paths crossed only briefly in Val's pregnancy massage class, but those types of experiences have a way of forming very strong bonds. I remember Alma as a beautiful and compassionate person who was a gifted bodyworker. Alma, enjoy the next phase of your journey and thank you for your gifts. We are better people for having known you. Namaste!

So sorry to learn of this. I didn’t know Alma but it is clear to see that she has a spirit that was a blessing to many.
Blessings and peace,

I was attracted to Alma the first time I saw her. As mentioned before, even when she was going through a rough time, there was a gentle light that emanated through her face. We recently began doing trades with each other. I massaged her first for about 90 minutes. She massaged me for about 2 1/2 hours, she said because I needed it. I thought to myself, and expressed to her how thankful I was to have someone so generous work on me. She also had a great sense of humor as she made fun of how my big hair was in the way of her effleurage :)
The next massage I gave her somehow wasn't as good as the first one even though I attempted to match her generous time. She gave me feedback in a tactful way but I ended up feeling bad anyway. she called me later and said, "I just wanted you to know that feel great. You must have given me what I needed as oppose to what I wanted."
Alma was honest, funny, beautiful and elegant. We had good times together in the short period we knew each other. You will be missed and in my prayers.

Oh, I remember Alma! I worked with her on the first day of forearm 1 with Tatiana.
Blessed be your Soul, Alma.
My love and supportive thoughts and feelings all the way from Germany.

A lovely beautiful soul. I only met her in my forearm dance class, but she was so playful, lovely inside and out and ohhh when she moved those hips to demonstrative a move...so fluid. Her spirit will live on here on earth for a very very long time.
She was an amazing light. I really loved being around her. She was a good friend as well as my massage therapist. We had many great times laughing and she was there for my daughter. She created a memory photo book for my daughter for her 10th birthday this year and there were photos of when she had encouraged Lauren to dress up. The photos are so FUN. I love you and will miss you Alma!
