Shiatsu Services

Shiatsu massage in an ancient Japanese massage technique used for centuries to promote healthy organ function, reduce stress, increase energy, flexibility, strength and motor coordination. The basis is to stimulate points along meridians to help balance your body to promote a natural state of health. Both the patient and therapist are fully clothed. The massage is performed on a mat.

Rebecca was first introduced to alternative medicine while studying in Lyon, France when a friend turned to acupuncture to successfully treat depression. Shortly after completing her BA from UCSC, she started manifesting signs of Lupus, which failed to respond to traditional Western Medicine. Rebecca found herself asymptomatic following steady acupuncture treatments with Maureen Raytis, L. Ac. with Five Branches Institute in Santa Cruz, CA. Following a move to NYC for a Publishing Program at NYU and witnessing 9/11 from her rooftop, she experience a relapse of symptoms of Lupus, in part due to the shock of the event. Upon returning to California and regular acupuncture treatments, Rebecca once again found relief through acupuncture. In the following years she explored nutrition, Aruvedic and Traditional Chinese cooking methods and enrolled at The American College of Traditional and Chinese Medicine. She is scheduled to graduate in 2010.

Now a certified Shiatsu massage therapist working towards certification in Tuina, Rebecca enjoys her studies as well as treating clients in the Mission District in San Francisco. A native of California, in her spare time she enjoys print making and book binding, reading, traveling, cooking and photography.
