Robert Bateman
Training in Eastern and Western massage therapy techniques has given Robert Bateman the tools to work on clients with a variety of needs and goals. The Pittsburgh native, who has made L.A. his home for 13 years, joined the MoDem Salon spa to offer everything from traditional Swedish and deep-tissue massage to acupressure, shiatsu and energy work. His services aren't just relaxing but also restorative. "I like to do a therapeutic massage, not just a fluff massage," says Robert. "The idea is to alleviate problems people are having." That's why a session will be preceded by questions about the status of the person' body as well as the ergonomics of their work and daily life. "I help peoples' bodies to heal themselves," he says, "So I'm a facilitator."
