    I truly enjoyed the hot stone massage. The therapist, Hunter, was kind and respectful. He made…read moresure to check in to make sure I was comfortable. He had a peaceful personality that added to the experience. Thank you! I would like to provide one piece of feedback to Osmosis. The welcome I received coming in was beautiful. Please consider providing massage tables that can be accessible to different body types in order to add to the physical comfortable. I appreciate your part in our self-care journeys.

    I will start with the positives because this is a special place. The grounds and meditation garden…read moreare absolutely stunning. There were several spots to sit and have a quiet moment on the property and there was tea and water and nuts available in multiple spots. I had the cedar bath followed by the fusion massage. The cedar bath is a very unique experience and felt grounding and comforting. It was indeed special and a unique experience and it is something I will likely come back for. Now the not so positive...the showers and changing rooms are quite small and very well lived in. The shower curtain had a mold like smell and considering how immaculate the gardens are, I am surprised they have not invested some funds into updating the indoor facilities, especially because the services are priced fairly high. I went on a Monday and my locker room wasn't busy but I can imagine it may get busy on the weekends because they are small and do not have much room for more than 1-2 people at a time. My massage was mediocre at best. I regularly get Swedish massages and do not require a lot of pressure but the massage therapist was very gentle and at times I felt like I was being softly pet and not massaged. I asked for more pressure five times and after that it started getting awkward for me. She also did not ask me if I wanted my scalp massaged and did this at the end and left my hair quite oily. I normally agree to the scalp massage but did not want to wash my hair after. In all the massages I have had, the therapist usually asks before using oil on the scalp. Finally, I paid the upgrade fee to have my massage in the Pagoda. It was a hot day so the therapist kept the door open and then later shut it due to bugs. After I left I counted (and took some pictures which I will spare the internet) of 9 huge mosquito bites. It's been 12 hours and I am still itching! I think I will give this spa one more shot because of the cedar bath but I may skip the other services.

Not only is she extremely knowledgable and skilled in the realm of bodies and healing, she is uniquely thoughtful and conscientious in terms of how accessibility, identity, and trauma can inform one's experience and needs around bodywork and healing. This is further demonstrated in her commitment to financial accessibility, for which she has several programs she offers to make holistic healthcare available to folks who otherwise might not be able to afford her work. I have been seeing Jolene regularly for several months now and intend to keep doing so -- can't recommend her enough, especially for fellow queer folks!

    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!
