You can tell how good a massage therapist is when they first start feeling your body for the knots and tension. Nancy has a very good sense of touch and of locating problem areas. She is then able to switch between the 3 modes of soft, medium and hard depending on the problem areas that she's working on. Massage school can teach you methodology, but Nancy's skill comes from a lot of practice and working on patients of different type achieve her mastery. read more

I've been seeing Nancy at Earth and Air Wellness for a few months now, and I can't recommend her enough. She's helped relieve so much pain in my body, from an achy shoulder to groin pain that I had for over a year. Her approach is both intuitive and deeply knowledgeable, and you can tell she truly cares about her clients' well-being. But what really sets Nancy apart is that her work goes beyond just physical healing--she helps heal the spirit too. There's a depth to her practice that makes every session feel like a reset, not just for the body but for the mind and soul. She has a rare gift for holding space in a way that leaves you feeling lighter, more balanced, and more connected to yourself. Nancy is also one of the kindest, most open-minded people I've met, and she creates such a safe, welcoming environment. If you're looking for someone who listens, adapts to your needs, and truly makes a difference, she's the one to see - Christian read more

Nancy gave me an incredibly relaxing but productive 90min massage with cupping. It was clear that she could feel the areas that needed extra attention and effectively focused on those specific areas. It felt very tailored to my body and its needs which led to me walking out feeling much more relaxed and at ease. I also appreciated her blend of modern and traditional knowledge, for example her welcomed and gentle advice to focus on a couple digestion tips due to where she saw the cups most reacting and what that meant for my body. Clean, quiet, and convenient location as well. read more

Nancy is an extremely knowledgeable and caring massage therapist. One of the only massage therapists that I know of, who incorporates a wide variety of techniques to customize her treatment for you. She will listen to you and your problems first, and build a custom treatment that is just for you. Some days it will be Swedish, other days it will be suction cups, and some days it will be reiki. What is really special about her, is she can tell exactly where you are holding your stress, sometimes, without you even realizing it. Your body will thank you for your visit with Nancy. Do not feel guilty or lower the priority of self-care. It is an important aspect of your daily fitness routine. Let your body heal, so that you can bounce right back on the next activity.

Nancy is an amazing Massage Therapist! She integrates many styles of massage into her own unique blend that is just right for the client. She has worked on me several times and I have had amazing results every time. It is a great blend of relaxation and the right amount of discomfort to both help you relax while also going deep enough to resolve the issues you may be experiencing. As a martial arts instructor my body is constantly getting beat up and it is very important that things get put back in order so that I can continue to teach for years to come. I can not recommend Nancy enough. read more

Love, love, love Nancy! She's incredibly intuitive, and although she always asks what i want worked on, she already knows. Like every other person with a desk job, or worsened posture from inadequate work from home space, my back is a hot mess. So much that she uses traditional Chinese cupping to work out the stubborn knots to get to the REAL knots. Every experience I have with Nancy is amazing and leaves me feeling MUCH lighter than I walked in. Above all, she is just a fun person to be around! It's probably unusual to laugh so much at what is supposed to be a calming therapy activity, but I find it to be natural relaxer with her. Every visit feels like hanging out with an old friend. I started seeing her when she worked by my house in Oakland but now I am more than happy to drive out to Martinez just for her! I highly recommend :). read more

Nancy is a great listener -- she listens to what you say and then listens to your body. She is light on words and great on understanding, meaning she's all about getting your body "right". The last time she worked on me was the result of thinking I was in much better shape than I really was and did an intense workout. It took about a week to admit I was miserable. Nancy went right to work and undid all the knots and kinks, along with one huge stress knot under my shoulder which had been forgotten about because it had been there for so long. Loved the cupping! Highly highly recommend Nancy! read more

Nancy is very experienced and effective at reducing pain, stress and muscle tension. I highly recommend her!

After months in quarantine during COVID spiritualy and physically I needed some attention. Nancy gave me all that and some while following all the Covid precautions. She started with some cups on my back to help pull toxins and addressing my stagnant chakras. The moving cups on my calves were just what I needed to lose up my tight calves. She finished the session with a oily massage bring balance and harmony to my muscles and chakras. Oh and be sure to ask her about her yummy body scrubs and butters. The citrus orange face scrap is by far my favorite. read more
