Thai Massage

Somatic Therapy

Feldenkrais Movement

History

Established in 2002.

Diane’s expansive healing skill set has grown and developed around the world. She began studying Thai massage in Thailand in 2001, after living in a Buddhist monastery where she healed herself of a fatal illness with meditation.

Back in SF, she took up advanced training in Deep Tissue with Art Riggs, a revered trainer and master Rolfer. She most richly expanded her personal and professional development with the somatic study of Feldenkrais Method. This informs her base assumption of health and vibrancy for each person, of dignity and strength and wholeness. She uses all techniques to return clients to their rightful sense of ease and grace and natural intelligence.

Diane was very receptive to my specific needs and I felt very refreshed after. The studio is spacious, warm and comfortable. I will be coming back!

I was looking for a last minute massage appointment (in Oakland while my son was at camp) hoping it would lessen the headache I’ve had for the past couple of days. After reading the reviews here, I called Diane and was thrilled that she had an afternoon opening. She was lovely on the phone and put me at ease. She works out of a dedicated room in her home and it is a very comfortable space, well appointed and soothing. (And really, really clean!) Now for the best part — the massage! Diane is an extremely talented healer. Really, among the best I’ve ever visited. Her skilled hands found knots I didn’t even realize I had. She explained things when I asked questions, and was very informative without being distracting. A perfect combination! I will happily make the trek to Oakland just to see her again!

Getting a message from Diane is like getting a whole body re-juvination! Diane really embodies a mind body approach. She has a wealth of knowledge about the muscle and skeletal systems, but she also understands how the nervous system and your emotional body are intertwined. The healing quality extends beyond the physical body, and she knows how to help heal emotional and traumatic pain that is stored in the body.
Diane is trained in a variety of modalities and she is always seeking new ways to work and taking classes to expand, refine and keep current her skills and talents.
As a Psycho-therapist who specializes in trauma, I think Diane’s work is a nice compliment to the trauma work I do with clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking deep healing on a cellular level, AND her hands just feels amazing!!!

Diane is hands-down one of the best massage therapists I’ve experienced. She is very knowledgeable of a variety of therapies and incorporates what is best for my situation. She’s not a one-size fits all kind of person and it’s the customization that seems to have the greatest impact on my well-being. I recently moved 25 miles from Oakland and will continue to still see Diane when I’m in the area. She’s that good!

As a former bodyworker (10 years experience), I know good work from mediocre, and Diane’s is superb! Her experienced, intuitive touch was just what I was looking for in a therapist. She was able to rid me of a headache that had plagued me for several days — her work is highly recommended! Plus she’s punctual and reliable, which can be hard to find in a bodyworker.

As I write this review, I am 600 miles away from her magical hands :(I miss her intuitive and healing touch. I miss that in one session, I would always feel noticeably better and whatever she did would start the road to recovery. Having moved away and tried several other therapist, I can honestly say that no has compared.
