As of October 9, 2020 Alameda county shelter in place order allows for indoor massage to be performed with modifications and a site specific protection plan in place. We are very happy to be back to work and supporting you in your wellness protocols.
We have tremendous gratitude for our landlords who have made it possible for us to reopen at this time.
Your safety and well-being are very important to us. We have developed an indoor massage protocol using state and county guidelines and template for a site specific protection plan (SSPP) to help guard the health of our staff, all of our clients and community. When you schedule your appointment you will receive an email with information about what you can expect when you arrive, what we are doing to protect you and what you can do to help. Because massage therapy work involves maintained touch and close physical proximity over an extended period of time, there may be an elevated risk of disease transmission, including COVID-19. With our efforts we hope to minimize risk by following all of the recommended practices.
Because it is a requirement to wear a comfortable mask for the duration of your appointment we are not providing facial massages at this time.

Lori's pleasant demeanor and genuine desire to build with clients relationships that support achievement of health and well being goals make her an excellent partner for those seeking ongoing therapeutic work. She is committed to continued learning and is inspired by clients who yearn to improve their lives by choosing, whenever possible to engage in life enriching activities such as massage, yoga, self care and gardening. After spending time nurturing her 95 year old father in the final months of his life Lori chose to retire from a career that had been good to her but that she was not passionate about. Grounded in a childhood rich in self care and home remedies, inspired by a community of alternative health care professionals Lori is now thrilled to be embraced by a career and personal path that promises to be both contributory and personally satisfying.
