Massage
Rebecca Coolidge
Rebecca intuitively blends many modalities into a deeply relaxing and therapeutic massage. She custom-tailors the session to best meet each person’s needs, combining integrative strokes and detailed spot work. Rebecca focuses on stress- and work-related musculo-skeletal issues. Her modalities include Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue, Swedish, and Trigger Point. She uses Craniosacral Therapy to release tension and relieve nerve-related pain. Rebecca’s gentle presence informs her work in Pre-and Perinatal massage. Her talents extend to the subtle, spiritual work of Reiki for those wishing to work on the body-mind continuum. As a former teacher, Rebecca shares this: “I am inspired by the mind and body’s innate ability to re-learn and heal.” Rebecca’s healing touch helps your body restore itself to balance and ease.
Katie Owens
Katie received her training at the World School of Massage and Holistic Healing Arts in San Francisco, CA and has studied Swedish, deep tissue, foot reflexology, structural foot balancing, and Vibrational Healing Massage Therapy ® (VHMT). She uses specific stretches, compressions, torques, rocking, and gentle shaking to bring more fluidity and freedom of movement that releases stuck energy patterns and pain in the body. Katie specializes in a combination of Swedish/deep tissue that provides relaxation and relief from sore muscles and VHMT ® to provide freedom of movement and a sense of spaciousness in the joints. “I particularly delight in assisting people in finding relief from neck and shoulder tension and pain in the hips, legs and feet. I individuate every massage to best support a person in their healing journey and to provide compassionate and intuitive touch to each bodywork session.”

Jordan Bice
Jordan specializes in Swedish and Deep Tissue massages. Swedish massage techniques relax the body and revitalize the mind. Deep Tissue massage considers posture and is a more specialized approach intended to improve ease of movement, range of motion, and reduce some kinds of pain. Jordan trained at the Mckinnon Body Center in Oakland. He was drawn to body work after it helped him recover from a car accident. Jordan's massage work is slow and deliberate, with emphasis on relaxation and/or mechanical functioning. He looks forward to working with you.

My teaching style blends encouragement, compassion, and humor.”
