So much better than a "regular" massage! That was my first thought after my first visit with…read moreSherryLou. She is trained in multiple types of techniques and combines them in the most unique way I have never seen before, making for a superior experience. Pains in my neck would generally feel better after regular massage, but with SherryLou's muscle testing technique and her knowledge of how our bodies work, it was gone within minutes of her treatment! I got an hour and felt so good I wanted to make up non-existent pains so I could stay longer! Give her a call I promise you will love it!

I love her approach to massage and she works very hard And very intuitively to ascertain what she needs to do to support all the other interventions--Physical Therapy and Pain Management I am currently receiving. She's the absolute best!

I would receive a massage from Cristina every week if I could. She's my favorite! Of all the types…read moreof massage one can receive (feel good "spa day" massage vs focused therapeutic sometimes painful treatment), Cristina's massages are the perfect middle ground in all ways -- the kind I want to receive with regularity. She's a master at knowing when to use which type of her wide breadth of styles (Deep tissue, sports therapy, acupressure, shiatsu, Swedish, lymphatic Ayurveda -- just to name a few...) I appreciate how she authentically holds the space with attunement and intentional energy, but then knows how to get down into the nitty gritty of deeply held tension. Her fingertips are like steel when needed! I once lay on her table experiencing old dusty goblins emerging from under my shoulder blades thanks to a few of Cristina's well-placed fingertips in my shoulder. Can't guarantee everyone is harboring soon to emerge shoulder goblins, but I'd bet there's something covered in cobwebs that she'll hone in on! What I appreciate most of all is the way she listened to and followed by body's lead. None of that useless pressing-so-hard-I-tense-up-everywhere foolishness. She's incredibly strong and knows how to use it, pushing my edge while keeping me loose, addressing very specific trouble areas and allowing the results to last a long time. Her office is an extremely peaceful idyllic spot on a farm. Very simple, no frills, but lots of presence and beauty. Arriving, chatting, even sharing some tea -- the entire experience is a luxury.

She did a massage for my sister and then one for me. She is very skilled, thorough and listens to your requests. Her hands are intuitive and found places we didn't know needed to be worked on.

I heard about Apple as someone who provides massage therapy to people with unique medical needs…read morefrom a client of mine. A close friend has had chronic pain in his back and legs, I told him about Apple, and he said massage wouldn't work. I wasn't sure he could get a massage, partially because he has mobility issues and is not comfortable in any position for long periods of time, but I thought it was worth pursuing, so I called Apple to get more information. She had an easy manner, answered all my questions, and because of his initial reticence, she offered to meet me at my my friend's home. With some coaxing, we met at together at his home, and he was immediately put at ease by Apple's warmth, genuine caring nature, and breadth of education. and when I mentioned she had a fellowship for massage therapy at UCSF, he booked a massage. She asked about his needs, likes, dislikes, and the way she explained her approach to giving massage that's adapted to each client's specific needs. I was struck by how caring and intuitive Apple was of what his needs were, not only physically, but emotionally. The following week, Apple came to his home prepared with everything needed to keep him comfortable and relaxed for the massage, and later that day, he called to tell me he couldn't recall a time that he felt such "relief from pain." Apple has become an important member of his regular wellness care team, and both he, and I so grateful for her expertise. Thank you Apple!

I was recommended the redwood needle by a friend, and I am so happy I followed up! I was having…read moreshoulder pain and tennis/golf elbow that was frustratingly not improving through massage, physical therapy or chiropractic. I struggled for months. I consulted Dennis, and after each treatment my arm grew stronger and felt less pain. After three treatments my pain is fully gone, and I'm now able to use it like before. What really struck me about Dennis was how much he listened to my words as well as my body before deciding how to treat. Since fixing my elbow, I've seen Dennis to help me get through sinus infections, colds & menstrual issues. He's amazingly knowledgeable on everything I've come in with, and again he really listens! He prescribes Chinese herbs that have done miracles, and I always leave his office feeling so much better. Thank you dennis and the redwood needle!

Those were some big shoes to fill in my eyes and after my first treatment with Dennis, I knew I was in good hands. Dennis is a talented healer and attentive listener. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He is new to town but not new to acupuncture. Turns out he is also an instructor at the Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley. I am thrilled he has moved to town and will continue on with him as my monthly acupuncturist! You would be wise to pay him a visit and experience his expertise for yourself!

She exudes positive energy and clearly is well trained in the wholistic world. The massage I received was just what I needed and Amanda was able to work on areas on my body that have been troubling me.

Everyone had their own unique magical journey during the soundbath. What a gift! So happy we arranged this for such a special occasion!
