1. Malai Thai:

Kwan, the owner of Malai Thai Massage, has been caring for clients since 2004. She founded her massage center in order to give her clients an authentic Thai experience. She and the women who work here provide more than just relief and healing. They also want to give their clients a taste of southern Thai culture.

Kwan learned therapeutic Thai massage as a little girl in Buriram Thailand from her grandmother, and went on to study at the famed massage school Wat Pho in Thailand and later at San Francisco School of Massage. She has a deep, intuitive knowledge of anatomy and how to find and heal the root causes of tension and pain. Loyal clients have followed her from Thai Massage in San Francisco for over 9 years to Piedmont Avenue in Oakland and now to her center on University Avenue in Berkeley. Come see for yourself why so many give Malai Thai Massage 5-Star reviews on Yelp. You will not only return for more, you will find that you bring your family and friends to experience their healing touch.

3. eugenia park wellness:

From unwinding tension and overwhelm to relieving pain and discomfort, I offer deep listening and safe ground for bodies to open, express, integrate, and take space in new ways. 

Trauma and accumulated stress (may include pandemic, individual/systemic oppression, or specific events) often feel like heavy loads in our systems, leading to symptoms like body pains, fatigue, insomnia, grief, and anxiety or depression. Somatic healing sessions can offer choices to help lighten the load.

greater ease, breath, healing, and resilience. All bodies are welcome

4. Feeling Better:

We all know that each and every person is different. Everyone is unique and so every massage should be just as unique. A relaxing Swedish massage, or maybe some heavy or light deep tissue techniques dealing with a specific area in the shoulders. Maybe a little of both. Some people are sensitive to pressure while others like a lot, but in the end the massage should suit the needs of the client not the needs of the therapist.Sports, acupressure, trigger point, shiatsu? Maybe what will work is a little bit of everything. In the end though it is about giving you, the client, what you want and at Feeling Better it is my goal to provide the most outstanding service I can. From prenatal massage to help with the feet and back problems that plague most expectant mothers, to Myofascial therapy to break up scar tissue on the leg with a little bit of stretching education so that the issue can be worked on in your own time.So if you are in the Berkeley area and are looking for someone who will try their absolute best to give you what you need to allow you to feel better please call to make an appointment!

7. Nang Sida Traditional Thai  Massage:

Massage is based on pressure points along ten key energy lines of the body, which power all physical, mental and emotional processes. If there is an energy imbalance, the body’s harmony is disrupted, causing pain and disease. Massaging along these key energy lines can break energy blockage, stimulate the circulation and restore general well – being. In this form of massage, the recipient is fully – clothed, in a loose-fitting top and pants.

The massage is done on a mat and the massage therapist employs a variety of yoga stretches to improve range of motion and deep-pressure massage to stimulate circulation.

8. Esalen Massage & Deep Bodywork:

My interest in the transformative power of touch began during my nearly four years of residence at the Esalen Institute, a historic healing retreat center. I immersed myself in the study of a wide variety of somatic healing modalities including, Esalen Massage and Deep Bodywork, Feldenkrais, Craniosacral Therapy, Gestalt Awareness Practice, yoga therapy, and 5 Rhythms Dance.  

My work is also informed by my graduate studies in medical massage. I am currently enrolled in a fellowship program at UCSF’s distinguished Osher Center. This fellowship includes advanced training in oncology, neurology, pediatric, and palliative massage therapy, in addition to clinical experience in the inpatient setting.

I draw on my somatic, experiential, and academic learning to customize each session to your specific needs. My touch is intuitive, nurturing, and therapeutic; my approach is informed by years of experiential and academic training.
