"I'm really delighted to have the
Berkeley Massage and Self-Healing Center in my life. I enjoy a very active
lifestyle — and accordingly I have my fair share of the soreness,
tension, and stress. I keep coming back because throughout the many years
I have been a client of the center, I've consistently found the practitioners
to be knowledgable, sensitive, and effective bodyworkers." —Michael
McDougall
My work is focused and deep, yet without causing pain. I allow your breath to draw us into the deepest places of physical and emotional blockages enabling us to work together toward freer movement. I combine Swedish and deep tissue massage with movement, breath awareness and Cranial-Sacral therapy to create an integrated massage experience. I also specialize in pre-natal and post-partum massage to support both mother and child during this special time. "I've been a monthly client of Diana for 13 years. Her treatments have taken me through many stressful times, including marriage, childbirth and divorce. Without her my repetitive stress symptoms would be unbearable. She has also referred me to other fantastic treatment specialists—she's great!" —Judy Hicks
By combining my training in Swedish techniques with the powerful touch of acupressure, my massage can help you to experience a wonderful state of energetic balance. My touch is very nurturing and can be both sensitive and deep. I like to address each individual holistically. Whether you wish to relax, ease stress or relieve pain, I will respond to your specific needs. I also offer pre-natal and post-partum massage. My deeply intuitive work, developed through years as a movement therapist and yoga teacher, allow me to work specifically and thoroughly with areas of stress, discomfort or pain. Using an integrated blend of Deep Tissue and Swedish massage, I can help mobilize, soothe and free physically stressed and blocked areas. I will work with you to develop new postural patterns and ways of moving that will bring greater ease and mobility. Bodywork is my art; it is a creative, perceptive, and educated response to the needs of each person. Like any art form, massage requires refined sensitivity, it is a natural talent as well as a developed skill. Drawing from the forms of bodywork I have studied, every massage becomes an integrated collage of techniques, energy flows, and intuitive responses. In the process of listening with my hands and my heart, a beautiful nurturing solution of touch reveals itself. I bring a healing, nurturing intention to massage. My work combines a soft, energetic touch with a deep, restorative pressure that can unlock the patterns of tension in a muscle and rebalance the individual. I have a passion for Eastern and Western modalities alike. Whether it is through Shiatsu, Thai, or Swedish and Deep Tissue, I will work with your needs for a transformative and healing experience.
