Holden Zalma L.M.T
CEO, Therapeutic Bodywork Practitioner, Founder of MetaTouch Body Balance, Licensed Massage Therapist.
Holden began his career as an assistant athletic trainer at the University of Southern California. There, he worked to keep the student-athletes as injury and pain-free as possible. He graduated with a BA in Psychology and a minor in pre-physical therapy from USC. After leaving USC he realized there was a major gap in the medical field. The most common course of treatment for muscular-skeletal injuries or pain was; drugs, injections, PT then surgery. Most of which would focus on the symptoms not the root cause.
Holden knew there was another option. He knew that if the root cause of the pain was discovered (using targeted manual therapy techniques to help return balance back to the body) it would lead to enormous increases in range of motion, reduction of localized and systemic pain and more consecutive pain-free days than other, more traditional treatments.
With this focus in mind, Holden created the “MyoAlign Technique” This technique allows the practitioner to discover key fascial restrictions in the tissue and correct them, bringing balance back to the body and reducing pain. Holden teaches this technique in seminars to other practitioners and to all of his staff at MetaTouch.
With 30 years practicing bodywork and over 300,000 clients treated, Holden has been called a true healer. His ability to quickly discover the root of pain and dysfunction, find a solution to that pain, all while connecting with each client’s specific needs, has allowed him to become one of the premier therapists in the world.
His clients include everyone from business moguls, A-list celebrities, professional athletes to soccer moms and weekend warriors. He has clients fly in from all 4 corners of the world to experience his touch.
Jessica McCargar
L.M.T, C.M.T Licensed/Certified Massage Therapist, MyoAlign Therapist
When Jessica was young her mother suffered from constant migraines, neck and shoulder pain and would ask for massages. She enjoyed helping her mom get through this pain more naturally especially when the medications weren’t helping. Now as a practicing adult, she enjoys helping her clients find immediate relief from pain and tension. Jessica has a passion for helping others to live their best and happiest lives by having good health and self-care practices. She knows that healing begins from the inside out and loves to be the catalyst for that healing. She is a great listener and wants to hear about her clients lives to get to the root cause of the issue; whether it be nutrition and eating lifestyle, career shifts and desires, home life, or relationship blocks.
Her favorite modalities that she feels bring the best results are sports massage, deep tissue with a slow and patient approach, and acupressure. These help the clients find immediate relief and better movement. She is also finding that guiding her clients to improved nutrition is having multiple positive results of; feeling better in their bodies, feeling nourished, increased energy, and easily able to get back on track. She also really enjoys helping her prenatal clients attain a relaxed state while their bodies are going through so many shifts. Clients find relief from back, shoulder, and hip pain that are common in pregnancies.
She loves to express herself through dance whether it be Zumba, Hula, or out with friends. Walks on the beach solo or with a friend brings her peace, joy, and grounding.

Marty Howard
L.M.T, C.M.T Licensed/Certified Massage Therapist
Marty has been working in the wellness/ fitness field since 2011, where after he graduated high school he began working at his father’s chiropractic clinic. This is where he first got certified through NASM and started working with the patients to help them get stronger and ultimately improve their posture. It was during this time that he encountered so many people with postural dysfunction and Chronic pain that it put him on the path to specializing in corrective exercise. In 2014 he attended the CHEK institute and started understanding so much more about how to correct these postural imbalances through corrective exercise, dynamic stretching, and self-myofascial release techniques.
He saw how effective these SMR techniques were on cleaning up form, and improving mobility he decided to go to massage school in 2018, and it was at that time upon graduation he pursued soft tissue work as his primary career.
Since then Marty has taken numerous continuing education courses including trigger point therapy and utilizes this technique the most in his treatments.
He likes looking outside the box when it comes to treating pain, and often feels the pain is merely the symptom of something else.
When Marty isn’t working with clients, he’s either enjoying the outdoors, reading a new book, or listening to one of his favorite podcasts. He’s an eternal student of life and is committed to never stopping his pursuit of acquiring knowledge and helping as many people as he can.
