Massage in Oakland

“From the friendly greeting to the excellent massage, my first visit here was wonderful and I will be back. Rachel asked excellent questions and worked with skill and intention to help relieve persistent back and hip tightness that has resisted progress from PT and stretching. I have more ease in my hips and I look forward to more sessions to continue the work.“

“Jim is very attentive, professional and caring! He has healing hands! I would recommend him to anyone seeking a massage - his methods for the deep tissue massage are phenomenal and he works through the knots in your body and trigger points. He always checks in with you to make sure you are comfortable as well, which is appreciated. Thank you Jim!“

“I have been seeing Akasha for almost two years. I initially came with severe neck pain as well as arthritic knees and hips. Akasha is a skilled practitioner who is both gentle and firm. She’s got excellent technique and skills. I can reliably count on a visit with Akasha as an effective aid in pain relief. I enjoy Akasha’s presence. We have a good rapport . Give yourself a gift and check her out.“

“Ed has been incredibly helpful for addressing issues on my posterior chain. His knowledge and experience has opened my eyes for someone who’s never received massage therapy treatment prior to meeting him.Some context - I grew up as a year-round competitive swimmer throughout my life that later transitioned to weigh lifting 4-5 times a week. I developed a lot of tension and stiffness in my hamstrings, lower back, neck, and traps. After my first session with Ed, I can already feel an incredible difference with my muscles loosened up and pain alleviated.He was professional the entire process. Before ironing me out, he gave me an assessment and asked of any particular pain and discomfort. His approach to understanding my daily routine, exercise, and history of injury only further helped to treat my body.During the massage therapy, Ed made sure I was well within my pain tolerance without sacrificing my need for deep tissue treatment. That was a huge plus for me. He also made sure to not only explain what he was treating and why, but also educated me on how I can prevent my posterior chain stiffness.A humble, knowledgeable, and professional guy who will get the job done. I’m definitely looking forward to future treatments and I know that these sessions will directly translate to my overall health and well-being.“

“Dr. Baird is amazingly patient, kind, knowledgeable and capable. I would recommend him 100%.“

“East Bay Ayurveda is an oasis in the urban jungle! The space is so tranquil, and the treatments are amazing! Cecelia is lovely to work with and has a great depth of knowledge about herbs and cleansing and rejuvenating therapies. She really care and has always gone the extra mile for both me and my daughter. I definitely recommend her and all the treatments at EBA!“

“The massage was incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating. The therapist's skilled hands relieved all tension, leaving me feeling refreshed and energized. Definitely coming back for more!“

“I got the Thai Jade Gua Sha massage (lymphatic drainage massage) Face and neck by Patricia. It was incredibly relaxing and therapeutic. I came in with tight shoulders and upper back...now that was taxing, but it was well needed. The Gua Sha portion on my face was soothing and light. I ended up going home and messing up my sleep because I knocked out about 45 mins when I got home around 7pm and now I'm writing a review at 2am because reasons... The place itself was very clean and welcoming, parking is a bit tough though because it is Montclair.“

“I have been with Mountain Yoga for a year and I love it! I did a wide sampling of studios from Walnut Creek to Oakland and landed on Mountain Yoga. Basically, it felt most worth my time and money. I learn so many different things from all the teachers that I do not mind driving from Moraga to Oakland 2 to 3 times per week.“

“Very seamless to set up and Meg definitely knows where the sore areas are. I was being induced later that evening and so booked an appointment with her for the morning. I was starting to dilate but wasn't in active labor. She helped address some sore areas and also pushed on some trigger points to begin labor. My water broke naturally later and went into labor that next morning. The massage itself was wonderful and Meg was lovely to talk to during the massage. I would absolutely recommend!“

“Fanny’s facials are the best! I’ve been getting regular facials for several months and my skin is so healthy and glowy.
Fanny is very knowledgeable and professional, and also so gentle, calm and nurturing. She always follows up to check on how I’m doing afterwards.
Her office is clean and inviting. I’m already looking forward to my next appointment because it’s such a relaxing experience, and my skin is looking progressively healthier after each visit!
Thank you Fanny! So happy I found you!“

“After injuring my shoulder shoveling snow while in the mountains during snowpocalyose last winter, I knew it was time to get my body back in shape. Enter, Bliss Fitness and Health! From the first Rebel Recess class that I took, I have never felt more comfortable (except for the burpees!!) or more welcomed into a fitness space. The teachers are fantastic; the space is gorgeous; and most importantly after every class I feel euphoric, strong, and, dare I say, filled with bliss.“

“I saw Dr. Ban after almost two weeks of debilitating pain. Before Dr. Ban it was urgent care and Dr. visits, all resulting in the offer of pain meds and time to feel better. After one visit to Dr. Ban I felt hope and at least 50% better. Within a week I felt like I could do basic tasks again and within a week more I had graduated to maintenance care with full movement again. I will continue to see Dr. Ban because I believe she has my best interests in mind. She shows integrity in her care and in the frequency she recommends. She listens to me and is excellent in finding the cause of pain. I went to see Dr. Ban originally out of necessity. Now I see her to maintain a level of personal care I was lacking and I look forward to continuing.“

“Marcelina is amazing. I went to her for a few months prior to moving away from the area and I was sad to go. She was so knowledgable about maintaining balance (in life!) and taught me powerful breath work that helped so much during my massage. She was able to loosen up my chronically tight neck and shoulders too. What can I say, she's the best, I highly recommend her!“

“WOWWW!!! Just finished a massage with Erica, and I feel totally amazing all over. I usually don't do well with massages and sometimes feel even more sore, but the full body massage I just had with Erica was truly awesome. She knows all the spots to reach and her techniques are really top quality. So stoked I found her.“

“I started coming here for TCM health care every week a couple months ago and have been seen by Jen and Chris so far. I am blown away by their level of professionalism and expertise. I've seen at least a dozen acupuncturists over the years, but never have I been to a practice like this where quality is consistent. Everyone that works here takes what they do seriously and they treat you with respect and care, including Sylk, Rebecca, and Perla. If I could give them all 10 stars I would... although I hope there will still be room for me in their calendars. =)“

“I saw Camille for a specific issue and received an initial treatment including massage and acupuncture. Not only did the treatment work but it relieved my symptoms for a few years! I have gone back for general upkeep and relaxation and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend her do general wellness and targeted issues.“

“I just received a massage from Kevin and couldn't be more thrilled! After filling out the intake form, we further discussed my problem areas when we met. I carry a lot of tension in my neck and shoulder area, so he definitely put some extra attention there but also took care of the rest of my body. I'll be back for sure! I highly recommend Kevin if you're looking for an amazing massage.“

“Waltz family is very helpful and attentive, as well as knowledgable and during my regular visits I was listened to and my adjustments always left me feeling better than I came in, and over time I've been able to regain some of my lost mobility and that has helped me a lot on my fitness and health goals. I highly recommed consulting with them on your health journey.“

“Doctor Dom and everyone here are wonderful. I had incredible pain in my lower back that made it difficult to walk and even drive. The methods used are gentle, with no twisting or cracking. Dr. Dom continuously checks in to make sure her adjustments feel good, tolerable, or painful so you aren't wondering if the adjustment is supposed to feel a certain way.

Zora, at the front desk, is extremely helpful and friendly. She knows all the patients by name and welcomes everyone equally.

I highly recommend checking out North Oakland Chiropractic Clinic.“

“Tanya is amazing! Extremely knowledgeable and knows exactly what to focus on. Best massage and will keep coming back.“

“We've done a year's worth of couples massages with Raine relerford & Aliana Gomez. The experience was nothing short of amazing each time. Great service and in depth massages. The attention to detail in the massages are really amazing and caters to your body's needs. They are sure to ask each time of problem areas and they give great detail to trying to ease that area without leaving out the rest of your body. I really can't say enough about how excellent the services are. The ambiance is lovely too! Always have fresh cold water and mints available. If I wasn't moving away I'd continue to see them for years to come. 6/5 experience every time!“

“Rebeca is a treasure. Her healing energy goes beyond the tension relieving benefits of massage to help rewire the nervous system to experience peace. She weaves together many branches of embodied knowledge to offer holistic healing, which is clearly her calling.“

“I have seen many chiropractors in the past 8 years due to car accidents and chronic pain, but I can strongly say Dr. Ousley has been the best so far. Very kind and open with the correct treatment to help me recover and adjust. Office staff are also sweet and kind. Highly recommend Dr. Ousley for anyone in this area. Not planning to change my chiropractor for a while! Thank you Dr. Ousley!“

“Dr. Rachel is great, especially for women looking for fertility support. She really listens to your concerns and goals and takes meticulous notes. She was able to recommend me out to an amazing Endometriosis specialist which I am so grateful for. Thank you for all you do!“
