Short of a personal referral, locating an experienced, professional massage therapist can be difficult. Trying to find the right therapist for your needs through a medium such as the Internet can be especially confusing. I welcome you, and hope that you discover you've finally found the right place.

I proudly offer exceptional, caring bodywork for the entire family and people of all physical abilities, and have been a massage therapist since 1989. I offer many styles, from relaxing Swedish to deeper restorative bodywork focusing on rehabilitation and breaking chronic tension patterns. Whatever your goals, I assure you that my work will offer you relief and you will feel rejuvenated and revitalized.

     I love to work with children, and offer complimentary 'mini massages' to all children while making home visits. Teaching little ones about the benefits of massage and showing them how to help calm themselves is a great joy for me.

Many people want to have massages but have different reasons for being hesitant to schedule one. Some of the reasons include not knowing the therapist personally, being unsure about what a massage might entail, self consciousness about weight or body image, different physical challenges, or having been the victim of inappropriate touch in the past.  I welcome the opportunity to speak with *anyone* who has any of these or other concerns, even if it is simply to answer your questions.

Your privacy and modesty are always respected, and we go over your needs and history before the session takes place. Trust is something that is earned, and I feel honored to help bring people a step closer to enjoying the benefits of massage. 

Chair massage does not require clients to disrobe.  No oils or lotions are used (unless requested) so that the employee can return to work refreshed without having to shower or change clothes.  Some of my Bay Area workplace clients also offer a private room where their employees can enjoy table massages. The employees pay for their own bodywork, but use their break time to do it.  In either scenario, it is a win-win for both the employer and the employee!

     Everyone can be accommodated by using the equipment that is best suited for your needs.  I have a very comfortable massage table (with optional arm extensions) with adjustable height, an adjustable massage chair, and a tabletop headrest unit that can be used just about anywhere- a great option for clients that use a wheelchair.  I also have a Body Cushion Support System that is used for table massage during pregnancy.  It is also great for people dealing with low back problems or recovering from back surgery, as well as for those who are simply uncomfortable being face down on a flat table. 

After 19 years of giving massage, I still love what I do and it shows. I have excellent references from both personal and workplace/corporate clients, and will be happy to provide them.  I have enjoyed a loyal clientele for many years in the San Francisco Bay Area, and welcome new clients in both locations.

Whether you are seeking a massage for yourself or would like to arrange for a gift certificate for someone special, I look forward to being of service. Please be in touch!

All the best,

Bettina
