Miri is a gifted healer and after every session I feel fantastic, walking taller and feeling more freedom of movement and less stress. I look forward to sessions! She's very intuitive and a deep listener. I highly recommend Miri! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Miri at Ritual Body Therapy. I found this business through the internet and decided to try it based on the excellent reviews. I felt hesitant and unsure going into it, but it actually exceeded my expectations in every way. I felt Miri had an unusually sensitive, gentle and trustworthy presence, and I left feeling a lot better, in different ways than I expected. I will definitely go back. read more

The best Cranial Sacral experience I've had. The studio is calm and quiet, Miri is attentive and focused while also allowing space for me to talk things out. I left there on a body high and felt my overall energy shift from anxious and ungrounded to excited and peaceful. Highly recommend! read more

I have been seeing Miri for a few months now to treat several health conditions and it has been an amazing experience. I was initially very skeptical of craniosacral therapy but in each session, I feel an immense opening of my heart and connection to my body. Miri listens really well and is very patient and caring. The office is quiet and cozy and there is a range of items to ensure comfort during the treatment. I am looking forward to continuing care with her! read more

I have been seeing Miri for many years now and she is the best. I see her for massage and cranial sacral and have been extremely pleased.

What a profound experience! Miri is truly gifted! I've had the chance to work with some incredible bodyworkers and Miri is right up there. I had so much clarity in my thinking after our first session! Looking forward to working more together and see where this healing journey takes us! If you've been looking for a legit craniosacral therapist, consider yourself lucky to have found Miri! read more

I came to see Miri at Ritual body therapy when experiencing chronic pain and stress probably due to a year of lockdown. The experience was transformative to say the least! The office was so beautiful and cozy. I instantly felt relaxed just being in the space. I am a body worker myself, so I've had many different kinds of bodywork for many years. After a single cranio session, my pain dissipated and had an emotional release over the next few days. I felt so centered and balanced again. Finally. I encourage anyone with chronic pain or stress to receive this delicate and profound work. Pain and stress are often interconnected. Miri is deeply intuitive, experienced, and so supportive. Additionally, because so much has changed over the last year, it can be challenging to find bodywork these days! I highly recommend her and booking in advance because she gets booked up quickly! read more

As a healer and former bodyworker myself I can wholeheartedly recommend Miri. Miri's presence is calming and re-assuring. They show up and are fully present. Their touch was immediately impactful and allowed my body to unfold and to go very deep into a healing space. I felt the spaciousness in my body and spirit after the session. I will be referring my patients and friends to Miri for craniosacral for sure! read more

I have been seeing Miri for years and can truly say she is a Miracle Worker! This lady is the real deal, she will cure what ails you. I love her space, her energy and most of all her healing touch! read more

I've only had one session with Miri so far, but I am hoping to have more! There's a wisdom to her work that feels profound, more so than a standard massage therapist. She's knowledgeable, communicative, and really wants to understand your needs. Her studio space is welcoming and calming. She's often booked up - if you can get a session with her, take it! read more

I had the most lovely first session with Miri. A mix of bodywork and craniosacral therapy, it was so relaxing and healing. Miri creates such a peaceful space with her kind energy and grounding presence. It took no time at all for me to feel completely at ease in her hands, which can often be a challenge, especially when first working with someone. Two days post session and I feel clear and embodied, and like I am still integrating the profound experience. My usual aches and pains are nowhere to be found. Honestly, my whole body feels better! I feel truly lucky to have found someone as light-filled and intuitive as Miri to help me on my healing journey. She is a wonder! read more

Just went to Miri for my second CST appointment... and I can't say enough about how life changing it has been. I started going due to some rather indescribable pressure around my ears that I had seen several doctors for and Miri was the first to actually understand the issue... and seriously helped! I'm an ongoing patient now, highly recommend Miri. She is skilled, kind, patient and very much seems to care about my well being. read more

In the battle of Miri versus my calcified-fascia-ridden body, Miri emerged the champion. I walked in a hot, twisted mess of tension, aches, knots . . . and from Miri's knockout combo of deep tissue massage and craniosacral magic (and whatever other modalities she incorporates in her style), I walked out of feeling relaxed and thoroughly tenderized, in the best way. I've had over 15+ years of different kinds of bodywork on this meatsuit of mine, and have developed my own standard of what makes an excellent massage, for me: 1) Clear communication with CMT prior to session about boundaries, injuries, needs 2) Soothing, comforting atmosphere with an energetically clean space 3) Calibrating pressure on my body with CMT to develop a touch-based "shorthand" 4) Confidence and trust that my bodyworker has taken in and paid attention to all the needs we spoke about, so that I can completely drop into the session and let go. 5) Session customized/tailored to my needs and not just a rote "sequence" of strokes Miri delivered on all these things and more. I'd never had hot stones used in a massage the way she used them on me - it was sooooo good, especially on my forearms (gua sha?) and I had small hot stones placed IN BETWEEN MY TOES, for goodness sake. I felt pampered, worked out, and well taken care of. Her touch was confident, firm, soothing, responsive, gentle and strong, and her knowledge of body mechanics was so helpful in locating areas of tension I didn't even know I was holding! 10/10 would go again and absolutely recommend Miri to anyone! read more

Let me just start off by saying Miri has changed my neck & back problems around completely! I tend to hold a tremendous amount of trauma in these areas but after each sessions they seem to dissipate. She always listens to exactly what my body needs and follows with execution, leaving me in a complete state of bliss. If your looking for a massage therapy who can apply a lot of pressure without hurting you, she is the one lol. I really appreciate how strong yet gentle her approach is with my body. Also if your not sensitive to smells I highly recommend her using the blend of organic coconut oil, organic castor oil infused with rose and frankincense essential oils. read more

This is the first time I went to Miri. I received a craniosacral session as a graduation gift from dear friends. It was less than a week after all the craziness of finishing my cumulative master's project and the ceremonies. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect gift. Miri is talented, intuitive, and has such a peaceful disposition. I have received a variety of bodywork modalities over the years and I found this work deeply healing. I left feeling light, grounded, and hopeful. And, I feel ready to move forward with my next adventure. I love my friends and I am so grateful for this gift. I highly recommend Miri and recommend her to anyone looking for craniosacral work! read more

Miri is a miracle healer! She has a deep understanding of the human body and is extremely skilled at multiple techniques to help bring one back to balance. She is a dedicated healer and is on her life path to support people in her community. I have received multiple sessions from her over the years and they extend across multiple modalities including deep tissue, craniosacral, hot stone therapy and shiatsu. Miri has a faithful clientele in the Bay Area and can booked out several weeks in advance, and I highly recommend a session with her! read more

Miri is the best. Transcendent. Had a lot of massages and various therapist/techniques. I think what makes Miri so phenomenal is that she's really passionate about body therapy very meticulously tailors each session to what she's feeling in your body in terms of tightness, etc. Love her to death! read more

My session with Miri felt like a week spent at a beautiful lake. The sense of calm and relaxation I felt during and afterwards was wonderful. I would highly recommend Miri to anyone. She has a warm open heart and deep knowledge. read more

Miri is more than a CMT. Miri is a very intelligent and progressive woman with unique abilities. Her positive energy combined with her professional skills will make you feel great. read more

Miri is an incredible body worker. From the minute she started the massage, until the end, each moment flowed with grace and intention. The pressure was perfect, and her knowledge of the muscle location was excellent. She used a combination of hot stone, aromatherapy, hot towels and incredible massage. She skillfully addressed each one of my problem areas and I left feeling relaxed and nourished. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

miri is the best! she has such deep knowledge of her work and has held a deeply safe & supportive space for me to heal. i don't think you'll find a better cst, and i'm so glad i found her. my healing journey has been so much quicker because of her! thank you miri! read more

Miri is an embodied and highly skilled practitioner. She combines a sense of structure with deep intuition to create an unforgettable session. She is equally skilled in deep tissue techniques and hot stone therapy as well as in flow based arts such as Esalen and Lomi Lomi Massage. She tops it all off with craniosacral and energy work for a sublime healing experience. read more

I love Miri so much I just have to write another review for her since the last one I wrote has been over a year now. Miri is so consistent and adaptable. I've been seeing her for a little over 3 years now and I still walk away in awe every time. The last time I saw her (a week ago), I just had my brace taken off my leg from a torn ACL. I had been suffering from discomfort, achiness, and stiffness all over my entire lower body since February. I was so happy to see her but even then I was skeptical about the discomfort and stiffness leaving from my legs. But Miri knew just what to do. She had an arsenal full of magic and went all out. She used hot towels to keep me comfortable, hot stones (rubbing and placing them in certain positions) to get my legs loosen up, and freaking TIGER BALM in addition to her usual massage oil/lotion to really get the achiness to level down. Can't forget to mention her amazing massaging techniques too. I was in heaven! Because of my torn ACL, she listened to my body, did assessments on me every time before she dived into a deep massage around areas that needed it, and constantly checked in. She helped stretch out my legs, IT band, thighs, areas that I couldn't really do on my own. This was all so wonderful! I felt so relaxed after my session and later that evening I noticed that I was walking a lot better and without a limp (which is a huge win!). I was so happy I made sure to book two massages with her before I left. read more

Miri is the best! It'd been a little while since I've gone in for a massage and she really got me back on track. I can't wait for my next appointment. read more

I followed Miri here from where she previously worked, because Miri is that good. Miri is the best massage therapist I've had in years. I have seen her for regular massages, prenatal massages, and postnatal massages. She is very attentive to individual needs, she is extremely nice and professional, and her new space on Grand Ave. evokes a wonderful sense of calm. read more

It is great going to see Miri, I have a lot of issues with my back, from being overly tense, and every week Miri is able to provide my muscles with the release they need. I can only tolerate deep pressure massage and fortunately Miri is amazing at that technique (I believe she is also very good at other techniques!). I like the fact that Miri is constantly educating herself on bodywork techniques and modalities and then applies her knowledge during my appointments. I always look forward to going to see Miri and I always leave feeling much more relaxed and calm. I thoroughly recommend Miri if you are looking for a massage therapist who is able to understand the needs of your body and provide a high level of skill and ability to help resolve your issues. read more

Miri is awesome!!! She is very attentive and she knows exactly what to do. I've followed her from her previous employer and she's the best. I've had massages from other therapists, but they don't compare. She's nice and she will make sure that your needs are met. read more

I tried a lot of places in the area before I found Miri. I am so grateful that our paths finally crossed. She knows exactly how to address whatever pain or issue I am dealing with and the relief I receive is immediate. She is also a joy to be around and her positive energy is uplifting. A wonderful experience through and through. Thank you Miri! read more

I have been a regular client of Miri's for several months (I moved to the Bay Area in January of 2016). I think she is a terrific massage therapist. She's very personable and friendly (she says almost nothing during the massage, which I appreciate). The sessions always last at least as long as advertised (I.e. a 90-minute massage lasts 90 minutes, not 80 as is common at high-end places like the Westin). She solicits feedback after every massage and incorporates that into the next session. She's extremely responsive to requests. I especially like head and neck work, so that's exactly what she provides. Every session is different, so she uses creativity during the massage. I highly recommend her. read more

I would follow Miri to the moon and back! I waited weeks to get a massage because I knew she would be starting her own practice, and she was booked at her previous location. I'm beyond thrilled she is literally 5 minutes walking from my home now. I don't really see a point in getting a massage from someone else. I really appreciate how attentive Miri is, not only from what I say in the intake form and the chat beforehand, but I noticed that Miri really holds a memory of your body from previous sessions and gets lost in making it feel better. She is in conversation with your body, if that makes sense. She really cares. Also, everyone should consider getting the 75 minute massage. Miri intentionally has a lower price than other practices, because she wants to encourage her 60 min sessions the opportunity to really address all their pain points. It's very hard to do a full body massage in 60 minutes. That extra 15 minutes really gives Miri the opportunity and time to properly get to all your needs. read more

Miri performs magic everytime I go in for a massage. She is very attentive to what you share with her and she responds to how my body reacts. Miri adapts to each session and takes her previous knowledge to create a better experience each time. I have a lot of experience with massage and I have never had such a transformative experience as I have with Miri. I recommend Miri without reservation! read more

Miri is inspired. I followed her from her last place, and I plan my visits to Oakland around sessions with her. With a gentle touch, she can get underneath and release long-held knots. My mind takes a long walk while I'm on her table, and I come back refreshed and alive, like returning from a meditative state. read more

I had my first massage with Miri a couple of days ago, and it was the best I've ever had (and I've had hundreds of massages!). She really listened and responded to what I needed and wanted-- unlike some body workers who ask you what you'd like, and then just go right ahead and give you their standard, generic massage. She honed in on my most troublesome areas with great skill and care. The overall experience was stimulating, soothing, and deeply relaxing. I highly recommend paying her a visit! read more
