This is one big rave for Sara Sunstein and her knowledge, skills, and services. Having come to the…read moreend of my wits about what to do with my arthritic feet, having exhausted podiatrist suggestions, and with a box of questionably helpful splints and orthotics, I took advantage Sara's services on recommendation from one of her clients. She examined my problem, gave my feet a wider spread, and explored possible contributing causes. She then trained me to work with my problem at home and suggested over-the counter remedies that I am eager to try. Sara surpassed my expectations, and I gained new feet therapy skills I can integrate into my daily routine. I am so appreciative! I highly recommend seeing Sara about aches and pains and even a wellness checkup.

I had been suffering with back pain for a year and a half before I was threated by Viviana Diaz, a…read moreFeldenkrais Practioner, in Berkeley. A friend of mine recommended Feldenkrais as a way for relief. Feldenkrais is the practice of body motion capable of creating or recreating semmetry of motion when that motion is impaired by pain, as in my case. Believe me, I had tried chiropractic, accupuncture, physical therapy mostly to no to moderate success, respectively. Viviana Diaz is caring, gentle, listens well, and very competent. I was treated at her home in a very spacious studio that is well equipped with table, towels, pillows, etc. I had read up on Feldenkrais methods a little before I saw her for the first of six session in March and April of this year. What I didn't expect was by the second session she had identified a major cause of my pain and we worked to correct the problem and over the sessions my pain had diminished considerably. I received instruction and exercises that I continue to perform daily to this day. About a month after I was treated by her I was pain free. Somebody wrote she is a miracle worker, to which I must agree. She is supported by her husband, Frank Wildman, one of the original Feldenkrais Practioners in Berkeley. I often thank my friend for encouraging me and it was my good fortune that I called upon and was treated by Viviana. I only wish all the professional I see were as good.

I've been going to Viviana for massage therapy twice monthly for over a year and I keep going back…read morebecause her touch is blissful. She listens carefully to whatever it is I need each time I see her and she varies her pressure and style of touch accordingly depending on what i need. At times her massages are slow, deep, still, long - always quiet, always sensitive. I know she's also a Feldenkrais Practitioner and sometimes integrates some of those techniques into my massage. Whatever techniques she uses I leave feeling taller, feeling as if my long muscles have been 'ironed out'. Sometimes I feel super relaxed and sometimes invigorated. Also, her studio is spacious, clean and soothing, which i really appreciate.

I initially booked a session for facial acupuncture and had a wonderfully relaxing experience and loved the results. Shortly after my initial visit I had an unexpected life event occur that resulted in a rather large shock with intense emotional turmoil. I turned to Naandi for support and treatment. She is NADA trained and provides a specific acupuncture treatment for crisis. That coupled with her incredibly skilled massage was pivotal in helping me to process and expedite the healing process. I saw her twice a week during this event and within a little over a month I was completely transformed and able to use the experience as a tool. She made this transformation possible. In short, she is the quintessential all around healer and wise woman that I would recommend that anyone see on a regular basis for general self care, preventative and acute treatment sessions. She can seamlessly handle dealing with physical, emotional, spiritual and cosmetic concerns with ease and compassion. Her touch is magical and imbued with a wonderfully grounded energy and warmth that creates a professional and safe space for healing. Book with her without hesitation - You can't find a nicer, more generous, compassionate, or well rounded acupuncturists who genuinely cares about her patients.

This is my first time coming to see Tsadae. Her business is in a plaza with parking and she shares the space with an acupuncturist. Tsadae is there every Thursday and Friday and alternating Sundays. She is very responsive via text and is very understanding if you need to reschedule as we know sometimes things come up in our pregnancies that we don't anticipate! During my massage she was very professional and was able to give my body pain relief in my lower back. I also felt relaxed afterwards and felt like my body could move more freely. She helped released tension in my neck and shoulders as well since that's where I hold all my stress. She has pillows to help you feel comfortable on your side while she massages you and a wedge pillow for when you sit up for her to massage your neck and upper back. I definitely recommend her!

The second I walked into my living room and saw her setup, I instantly felt at ease. No driving, no rushing, no worrying about being late, and no having to get myself back home afterward. Why I didn't book a mobile massage sooner is beyond me! Abby came fully prepared with everything she needed, including music and a maternity pillow. Before getting started, she took the time to review my intake form and assess what areas needed the most attention, which I really appreciated. The 60-minute prenatal massage was fabulous, and afterward she even gave me recommendations for areas she noticed could use some extra TLC. Overall, I had such a great experience and absolutely loved the convenience of having a professional mobile prenatal massage right in my home in Concord. If you're pregnant and looking for an in-home massage in the Concord or East Bay area, I definitely recommend Abby. Especially in the third trimester, having someone come to YOU is such a treat!

Her work is intuitive and creative. I love how every time I've gone to her, which is many, she has given me a different treatment, keeping my discerning mind surprised and delighted.

She also lets you know what's going on in your body and gives you excellent self-care suggestions. I returned in 2021 after some injuries and health issues and continue to be deeply grateful for the excellent personalized massage and therapeutic treatment I receive from her.

So I keep booking and recommending her even though it will make it harder for me to book appointments. #yourewelcome A session with Alison is downright healing. Her extensive body knowledge paired with her grounded but somehow still effervescent nature make for a wonderful massage experience (and hour or more of lightweight free therapy/cathartic convo if you're chatty like me!). She's about the work and isn't going to try to sell you 25 products and a facial. I have a crap ton of ailments and injuries which have thrown other massage therapists for a loop, but they've been nbd for Alison. She works with and through them without any further injury or irritation. I've tried soooo many different massage therapists through the bay and truly feel like I've found the best.
