“Every time I go, I absolutely love how much better I feel for days after, and how immersed in expert healing care I felt while I was there. From the new client intake process, to meeting in person and experiencing transformative massage therapy, and even to the insightful recommendations I receive for aftercare and maintenance as we debrief the session--the whole journey is always completely tailored to my specific case, and I leave feeling deeply seen and cared for.”

“One thing I really appreciate about Suz' work is that she really listens to my physical concerns and is very good at using just the right pressure for me. She is very knowledgeable about how the body works, and suggests exercises and stretches that are very helpful. I highly recommend her!”

“Unwind Oakland truly lives up to their name. Susan's skillful massage took me to a very deep and profound state. She was very thorough in explaining how the massage would proceed, targeting my problematic elbow tendonitis, and my plantar faciitis. I felt an improvement in both areas the following day, and I scheduled a followup appointment with her. Good communication, personalized treatment, an overall great experience!”

“It's clear to me that Suz has been doing this a long time and is profoundly skillful, and she also has an intuition, attention to detail, and a holistic sense for care that makes me very comfortable right away. Perhaps more wonderful than that, she makes the entire experience feel like a carefully orchestrated continuous process of literal unwinding--both of the chronic issues I'm aware of coming in, and of others I'm not until she finds them. I am always satisfied and refreshed, but also a little sad it has to end already when it does. I'm so glad to have found this place. You should book with Unwind Oakland. I am certain you'll be glad you did.”

“I have experienced Susan's comforting and healing massage, as well as her deep understanding about how our body is always speaking to our brain. I study and teach neuroscience, and it's very important for my nervous system to resonate with my massage practitioner. It was easy to trust her, and my body responded very positively to the suggestions she made for changing old habits. I highly recommend her!”

“I didn't think my massages could get any better... This was the best ever. Susan has xray hands that saw all my problems.”

“With a lot of running miles and athletic endeavors on my body I was amazed by Suz's knowledge plus ability to pinpoint plus relieve trouble spots. So tough to find someone with a combination of passion for what they do and such excellent technique. I'm a major fan!”

“I am 65 yrs old with two bad knees, and I play golf twice a week. I struggle to get out of bed after each round with those knees. I had a few surgical "clean outs", and I take Celebrex before and after I play. I met Susan, and her concern is my hamstrings, so off to work she goes. Four sessions later, I am not limping, according to my wife and business partner. I feel great, turning on the ball with full mobility and making some money in our Seniors golf group. My advice, check this acupressure out! I tried meds, operations and physical therapy-- Susan has been remarkable for me.”

“I have a lot of history seeking massage work and tricky chronic things going on in my body, both lifestyle/structural and past/recent injury-related. The smooth system for gathering information about where I'm coming from, the way Suz has a plan when I arrive and we briefly discuss a few points before I got on the table, it all feels like everything is totally and very ably handled. Then the massage starts, and that feeling grows stronger as I sink into the heated table.”

Her use of hot towels and hot rocks at the end of the session was the icing on the cake. Suz is extremely knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of her practice and offers great advice and suggestions at the end of the session of stretching and exercises I could do to continue to help my body in its healing process. The whole experience allowed me to feel so totally seen, heard, felt, and acknowledged...I highly recommend her!

“I felt very well cared for during the whole process. She checked in just the right amount. She had a wonderful touch and made the transitions between areas so seamless. I feel so relaxed! Thank you!”

“She was able to massage my feet as no one has done so before without me being tickled....When she went for my wrist and elbow, it felt like a waterfall!”

“Susan has an intelligent approach, excellent touch, and a creative approach to specific problems. Great work!”

“I felt a really profound shift in my legs after her treatment.”

Unwind Oakland is the best massage experience that I have ever had! Suz is not just a massage therapist but an amazing intuitional healer. It became so clear to me that she was intuitively reading my body like a roadmap that led and guided her hands like a compass exactly right where to go throughout the process. I was also very aware that she could hear the healing that my body was asking for as feelings and emotions continued to unlock and release throughout the massage.
