There are practitioners who are good, even great... and then there is Erick. It's hard to fully explain what makes his work so special, but you feel it the moment you walk through the gate into his space. There is a calmness there. The office feels peaceful and grounded, almost like the whole place is exhaling. Even the trees feel happy. I have been receiving bodywork and practicing in this field for 27 years, and Erick is truly one of the most gifted practitioners I have ever experienced. His balance of acupuncture, Thai massage, intuition, skill, and genuine human connection is rare. He has a way of knowing what your body needs, even when you don't quite know how to explain it yourself. Every touch feels intentional. Grounded. Present. Like he is listening with his whole being. There is something deeply heart-centered about the way he works -- you feel cared for, held, and seen. I have also taken his Thai massage courses, and the skills I learned from him have deeply shaped my own practice. His teaching is generous, clear, and rooted in years of real wisdom. I am incredibly grateful for what I've learned from him, both as a client and as a practitioner. A session with Erick doesn't just end when you leave. It stays with you. Your body remembers it. Your nervous system remembers it. Your heart remembers it. He is truly one of the people I am most grateful for. read more

If you want to experience Thai massage, there is no better massage therapist and instructor than Eric Spivack (Soaring Crane Massage & Acupuncture). I have experienced Eric's work for many years. I prefer receiving the combination of acupuncture and massage. The acupuncture opens up the energy centers making it much easier for the body to relax & receive the massage work. Having studied in Thailand, Eric is able to incorporate his own style to ensure your session is personalized to your body's needs. He projects a calm, listening space which is further augmented by a Zen like garden & relaxing studio space. What also comes across is his passion for Thai massage. Whenever, I receive Eric's work, I am able to be in better touch with myself. This is not just a "feel good massage" but becoming "vibrantly" aware of oneself - physically, emotionally and spiritually. If you are used to table work, take a chance. Let go of your comfort zone temporarily and experience something completely different. All the best. read more

I have been dealing with muscle + joint issues and decided to give Thai Massage a try. I am SO happy that I did and that it was with Soaring Crane. It was apparent right away that Eric is the very best at what he does. During our initial chat, he was so genuine - asking me all of the right questions and I felt so comfortable (where I would normally be self conscious). As I opened up regarding my not-so-healthy eating and movement habits, I felt no judgment but instead I felt a care and interest. It was so nice and refreshing. And then the treatment - my goodness, what an INCREDIBLE experience. I don't think my muscles have ever been stretched/manipulated that way and it felt amazing. His massage felt so impactful in a positive way; I still feel relaxed the next day. I look forward to returning. Highly recommended! read more

When looking for a massage I chose Eric with Soaring Crane because of the awesome pictures. I expected to get deep assisted stretching (based on what the pictures show) so in that regard it did not meet my expectations. With that being said I had a very good experience. Much care was put into the décor (It was beautiful) I believe that the details really help set the mood for health and healing. I enjoyed experiencing a different modality of massage. Thank you Eric! read more

When my muscles are feeling kinked up, and/or my brain needs a rest, I can think of no better antidote than a session with Eric at Soaring Crane. I love the walk down his lush garden and up the stairs to a space that is both beautiful and calm. After stretching out on a heated mat, I start off with acupuncture so that energy is directed at the parts of my body that are in most need of TLC. He then proceeds to physically manipulate my muscles and joints with his hands, feet, and elbows, while stretching my body to let him give me the muscle relief I need. We talk or we have silence. Eric is incredibly sensitive in setting the right tone and in giving me the situation I need that day. It is all about me and it is a very good thing. read more

Eric is truly a gift to the world of body/soul healing. His space is like a temple. His combination of acupuncture and Thai massage leaves one feeling completely open and receptive. read more

When I first started seeing Eric, I was looking for an acupuncturist to help with chronic back and neck aches and depression/pms. I had tried other professionals in the routine medical realm that seemed reasonable and found they didn't have the time or compassionate connection required to answer all of my specific needs. Drugs, therapy and working out only got me so far. But I really didn't want to end up in a scary smelling herbal shop in a questionable part of town and I really didn't want to deal with someone too far along the hokey scale. I was instantly comfortable with Eric and I've continued to be impressed by both his acupuncture and massage services. I've made significant and measurable improvement so I emphatically recommend him to my friends, family, coworkers, medical professionals and to you too! read more

I have been seeing Eric for about 5 years. Because of my insurance I can have a monthly preventive acupuncture and massage treatment. Thus once a month I enjoy the calming walk through his yard and up the back stairs, reflecting over various native plants throughout the seasons. Once inside I always opt to use the bathroom, not out of necessity but because it is one of them most serene bathrooms I have experienced. As I lay on a heated mat, Eric assess what I need for acupuncture, then offers a choice of essentials oils. This treatment is followed by a Thai Massage session. This is unlike anything I had experienced. I feel safe as he manipulate my body and muscles with incredible finesse and body ethics. The energy he emits is clean. We talk or not, depending upon where I am. I leave with a full sense of physical and emotional sense of self. 5 stars is enough for some but not Eric. read more

Eric is FANTASTIC. I've been seeing him for a few years now on a regular basis and recommend him to anyone I know. Before I started going here I had one really bad experience with acupuncture, so I was a little hesitant to go again. He took the time to talk me through the process and did things at a slower pace during my first visits. He always inquires about how I am feeling currently and what I want to work on each visit, it's not just a one-treatment-fits-all sort of practice. He also has worked things out when my insurance has billed me incorrectly. If you are new, just make sure you follow the navigational directions on his website. Google/Mapquest/any GPS will take you to the wrong place. Once you get there the first time, it makes total sense and is easy to get to. read more

I have a lot of bodywork done and Eric is as good as it gets. He has calm energy and is a great practitioner in both acupuncture & Thai massage. The office space is very comfortable and set in a great, peaceful garden. I highly recommend Eric and Soaring Crane! read more

Eric is a gifted healer who combines the benefits of acupuncture with Thai massage and yoga. You won't find many clinicians who possess his depth of knowledge and experience in fusing these healing modalities, and his treatments are very relaxing and health promoting. You'll be in good hands if you chose to see Eric for treatment. read more

Eric is as good as it gets. There aren't enough stars to award this man! He is a gentle and intuitive acupuncturist and an exceptionally knowledgeable Thai Massage practitioner/teacher. He seamlessly blends Thai massage with acupuncture creating a unique healing experience. I don't know anyone else who does this. The combination of the massage and the acupuncture together seem to enhance the healing benefits of both. I, myself, am an acupuncturist so I appreciate the medicine but what Eric weaves together is something different and quite remarkable. read more

Eric is an awesome Thai masseur and acupuncturist. He helped me back from some deep difficult places physically and emotionally and turned my back, legs, and qui around. Highly recommended. Stretchy! read more
